I'm trying to set the menu history of an option menu at
runtime.
I set up the create callback in UIL for the push button.
At create time, I call SetValues passing the widget id of
the push button and setting its parent's menu history.
But, nothing happens.
XtSetArg( arg_list[ 0 ], DwtNmenuHistory, wid );
XtSetValues( XtParent( wid ), arg_list, 1 );
Any ideas ?

The parent of wid is probably not the option menu itself. Use a
creation callback for the option menu itself so that you can register
the option menu widget in your own data structures, and do the
SetValues on this widget.
Hope this helps,
Denis.

| 613.2 | widget must be child of option menu? | CSCOA5::HOOD_DO | Thu Feb 01 1990 15:10 | 23 | |
re -.1:
I'm a little confused. I am running uws 2.2 on a cmax. my documentation
says :
DwtNmenuHistory Holds the widget ID of the last menu entry that was
activated...... This attribute may be set to
precondition option menus and pop-up menus mouse memory.
This seems to indicate thhat the ID will be one of the child togglebutton
widgets for the child pulldown menu associated with the option menu....
i.e. the parent of wid in the previous reply would be the pulldown
menu and not the option menu itself. Am I missing something?
I have a customer with the following hierarchy
toplevel<-attacheddb<-attacheddb<-optionmenu<-pulldownmenu<-togglebuttons
The "Writing Applications" in Volume 1 of "Programming" in uws
documentation states that this a special case for the pulldown menu,
and that you dont have to create a pulldownmenuentrywidget to use the
pulldown menu (just pass the pulldown widget id in the DwtNsubMenuId
attribute of the option menu). I tried this and could not get it to
work. Any Ideas?

| 613.3 | does anyone read old notes? | CSCOA5::HOOD_DO | Tue Feb 06 1990 14:16 | 6 | |
should I include code with my question?
should I also say that this appears to work from UIL?
has anybody out there created an option menu under UWS v2.1 or UWS v2.2
for a DECstation 3100? One 50-line working example of an Option menu
would make my day!!
