I am trying to create customized icon pictures for my DECwindows software. I
have done this successfully in the past when programming in XLIB, but now I am
using UIL/DRM and have run into some problems.
I am calling X$SET_STANDARD_PROPERTIES to set the stuff I need to set. This
routine requires the application supply a WINDOW ID (argument # 2). The
question I have is: What information do I send to this routine for the WINDOW
ID?
I have tried sending the widget number for my TOPLEVEL_WIDGET. I have tried
using both DWT$GET_WINDOW and XT$WINDOW hoping one of these would return the
required value, but BOTH routines return a 0 no matter what widget id I pass
them.
Notes: I am programming in VAX FORTRAN using VMS 5.3-1.

| 3159.1 | Xt$Window should work...are you passing widget ID by value? | CSC32::B_KEMP | X'ed out TopFlite | Wed Aug 01 1990 17:29 | 0 |

also, make sure you are asking for the window id after the window
is, in fact, created; otherwise, you will get a zero.
in general, it's safe to call XtWindow after XtRealize-ing the toplevel
widget.

| 3159.3 | use creation callback | CSCOA3::HOOD_DO | Tue Aug 07 1990 13:23 | 10 | |
Get the window ID from the widget....
set up a creation callback for the widget in question. In the creation
callback, use XtWindow on the widget id parameter (first parameter of
any callback routine). When you fetch the widget hierarchy, the
creation callback will be run, and you will have the window ID. Note:
this applies to C programming. I really don't know how this is done
for fortran.
