Hi netters; I have an Iris Indigo with the Xlib, Xt and Xmotif tools on it. I'm trying to write an application that creates one big parent window and a bunch of children windows that can move around inside of it, but not move outside. In other words, I want the child windows to respect the borders of the parent, and if the parent is shrunk, I want the children to be clipped. I have been using Adrian Nye's book on Xt/Motif programming and set up the app using his topLevel and mainWindow method, but I can't seem to find a way of using forms or RowColumn widgets to bind the children to the parent. Any ideas? P.S. Nye's book is volume 4 of the great X11 series. -- Steve Langer sglanger@argo.acs.oakland.edu (VMS) Oakland University sglanger@vela.acs.oakland.edu (Ultrix) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard disclaimers apply.
