3515.0. "XSeTWMSIZEHINTS()... HOW TOU USE???" by WPOPTH::ZAMBOTTI (It only works after you ask!) Wed Oct 24 1990 01:44

Hello,

I have been waiting for my new XUI programming manuals for about 12 weeks.  I
need to know the synopsis of calling the XSetWMSizeHints() routine.

I know this routine exists but can't manage to guess at the arguements required.

Any help,

3515.1same as XSetSizeHints()OXNARD::KLEEKen LeeWed Oct 24 1990 13:526
    void XSetWMSizeHints(Display *, Window, XSizeHints *, Atom)
    
    The arguments are the same as for the obsolete XSetSizeHints().

3515.2then why does it fail...WPOPTH::ZAMBOTTIIt only works after you ask!Wed Oct 24 1990 22:4512
Hi Ken,

thanks for the confirmation.

WHY DOES IT NOT WORK ???

It fails to resize the window, at all.   I open the window the maximum size of
of the screen and then resize smaller and bigger accordingly.  Works fine on
ULTRIX 3.1 and VMS but not with this new X11 R4.

    Are you using an ICCCM-compliant window manager?

3515.4A what?????WPOPTH::ZAMBOTTIIt only works after you ask!Sun Oct 28 1990 23:209
I can't say for sure?

But I am using the standard decwindows manager supplied with ULTRIX 4.0.

Is this OK?

Regards,

Walter

    Try the Motif window manager, mwm, which is more compatible with the
    X11R4 interclient communication conventions.
