Does anybody know if the list-box widget background colour problem has been fixed or is going to be fixed. At the moment, you only see the background colour if you resize the list box so that it is wider than the largest entry in the list

What you can do now is use an application specific resource data file to control the color. For example, if the class name you use on XtInitialize is MyApp then in your top level directory create a file with the name of MYAPP.DAT. In this file put the line MyApp*Background: Red Or any other color that makes sense for your app. Then use this same color as the background resource for your list box and everything will be ok. -=> Jim <=- | |||||

If not, there's a good chance that (1) it hasn't been fixed, and (2) it won't get fixed. It's real easy to lose track of bugs which have been reported only in the notes file. The QAR system, on the other hand, nags me about the bugs at LEAST once a week. | |||||
