3556.0. "Disable MOUSE COPY ???" by HAMSC3::UWEH () Wed Oct 31 1990 10:26

Hello

Two questions from a customer with no further information [ :-( ]

Is there a way to disable the mouse copy funktion, by setting a resource
or any other trick ?

How can I disable mouse copy for a self written DECwindows application ?

3556.1modify mouse button translationOXNARD::KLEEKen LeeWed Oct 31 1990 12:3514
    In Ultrix, you can change most mouse button or keyboard actions by
    overriding the particular binding in the widget's translation table. 
    The default mouse-button-3 text widget translation is:
    "*DwtText.translations: <Btn3Down>: stuff()"
    You can cancel this by putting this in your .Xdefaults:
    "*DwtText.translations: #override <Btn3Down>: "
    This change would apply to all applications using the DWT text widget,
    both DECwindows applications and those you write yourself.  You can do
    similar things with the translation table for other widgets, including
    those you write yourself.
    
    I don't know if modifying translations is supported on VMS.
