- Environment:
- VAX4200, VMS 5.5
-
- Problem:
- I have an application built on DECWindow. One special case is
- a contiguous pop-up windows to get user's inputs
- (the 1st pop-up window will dismiss after user's keyboard input,
- the 2nd pop-up window then comes up, get user's input then dismiss,
- the 3rd one does the same as the 2nd one
- .... until all required inputs are completed)
-
- The mouse pointer are RANDOMLY lost in those pop-up window. The later
- pop-up window, the higher possibility to lose the mouse pointer.
- I have to point and click to get the input to that pop-up window to activate
- the keyboard input. It seems the pointer have not been handled correctly
- in my application. But I can not find anything wrong. One strange result
- is, if I set the DISPLAY to a SUN SPARCstation 2 OpenWindow 3.0 environment,
- then I do not have this problem.
-
- Could anyone give me suggestions? Is this a bug of DECWindow library?
-
- Thanks for your help.
