Hi, We have a customer who is in the process of porting his code over to CDE under VMS. He is having a little difficulty with a couple of Dt* callbacks that appear not to be working. His note to us is as follows: ------ We are trying to integrate our application software with CDE. Our first need is to use the CDE callback functions to tell us when our window the 'occupy workspace' function for our window is changed. 'Occupy workspace' is a menu action attached to our window. We have two callbacks: - workspace_modified_callback. - current_workspace_callback. Neither seems to be executed when we change workspace occupancy. We also tried adding/deleting a workspace, guessing that we misunderstood the intention of the callbacks. No luck there either. ------ In the Getting Started with the New Desktop manual, on page 5-3 there is a footnote attached to table 5-1 for the CDE$LIBDTSVC.EXE - Desktop Services Workspace Manager API (dtwm)1 1 - Some Functions are not supported. Can you give us a list of the unsupported functions? Any help would surely be apprectiated. Rick Retterer Workstation/Graphics Support

Appendix C lists all of the API routines. Those that are not supported are footnoted. The entry points for the unsupported functions still exists but in general they are just no-ops. None of the workspace callback functions are supported. These require communication between the window manager and the application which was not implemented in v1.2-4. All of the other workspace API routines are supported though. Doug | |||||
