- HELP,
-
- When I spawn multiple processes with a
- Working Motif Dialog Box (one per process) I
- sometimes get "orphan windows". This meaning
- that only a partial drawing of the dialog box
- gets displayed onto the screen (usually just
- the top left corner of the dialog box and
- just the first letter of the name of the dialog
- box).
-
- My question is, how to stop processing
- long enough (controlling my own events during
- exposure) to ensure that all of the dialog box
- can be displayed before being swapped out by
- other processing?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Phil Diaz
