A Customer would like to get the value of a compoud string from
a list box. He used a xtgetvalue but nothing is returned.
He tried the same thing with a label contained in the list box and
every thing works fine.
Is ther a way to get the value of a compound string contained in a
list box ?
Thanks,
Gea.

| 3047.1 | What compound string? | CSC32::B_KEMP | X'ed out TopFlite | Mon Jul 09 1990 11:55 | 4 |
The current selection? In a callback? What attribute is the customer trying to extract with the XtGetValues? Bill | |||||

In a list box there are (possibly) many compound strings. One for each item in the list. If the customer wishes to get the complete contents of the box, he should do XtGetValues of DwtNitems and DwtNitemsCount. This will return an array of pointers to compound string structures. If the customer only wants those items which are selected, then he should get DwtNselectedItems and DwtNselectedItemsCount. All of this is fairly clearly documented in the VMS DECwindows Toolkit Routines Reference Manual. Dick | |||||
