  10. I'm having problems implementing window-level accelerators in a xview application.
  11. Following the example of accelerating a PANEL_BUTTON provided XView Programming
  12. Manual(Volume 7 of O'Reilly, pg 145-146), I added the following line of code:
  13.  
  14.     xv_set(frame,
  15.            FRAME_ACCELERATOR, "q", quitWindow, quit_button,
  16.            NULL);
  17.  
  18. According to the book, the function quitWindow() should get called when
  19. 'q' is pressed combined with the Meta key.  But that isn't happening.
  20. It just beeps when I do so.
  21.  
  22. I've also tried to implement it using FRAME_X_ACCELERATOR instead:
  23.  
  24.     xv_set(frame,
  25.            FRAME_X_ACCELERATOR, XK_Return, quitWindow, quit_button,
  26.            NULL);
  27. However, this doesn't work either.
  28.  
  29. Can someone also recommend any books on XView besides O'Reilly's Volume 7?
  30.  
  31. Direct replies to kristine@key.amdahl.com will be appreciated.
  32.  
  33. Thank you.
