- I am (obviously) new to X. A customer of my company reports that he
- gets the message
- warning: cannot convert string "1004ff08" to type VirtualBinding
-
- when he runs the simple callbacks example (which uses Verdix' ATC Ada
- binding to motif). He is using Sun4, NeWS server, mwm.
-
- How do I track down what this means? I can't duplicate this message.
- The only sorta-related thing which I see in the Motif FAQ covers
- a widget which does a help callback. Is there a list of the text
- of error messages someplace for X problems (like the OpenVMS System
- Messages and Recovery Procedures manuals)? Do I need to do a
- strings on some of the X objects?
-
- thanks for any help.
