Hi, I am a newbie in X programming (X lib right now, no motif) and need
some help on this:
I need to get a few numbers from the user in a window, is there a
function available for that purpose? what i am doing now is use KeyPress
mask to detect keyboard inputs, and i think i must be missing somehting
here since although XLookupString claims to fill a string buffer i am
only getting ONE character at a time.
the portion of code looks like this:
case KeyPress:
res = XLookupString(&myevent,text,100,&mykey,0);
printf("res=%d, text=%s\n",res,text);
break;
thanks for any help.
Xiaoyi
