-
- I don't program in OLIT (or any other X toolkit) yet, so forgive me if
- this sounds a bit dumb. How else do you know where you are supposed to type
- if you don't have an input Focus indicator of color, or highlighting or some
- thing else similar?
-
- :Can I set some resource or callback on a widget to say that I don't want the
- :'inputFocus'? Do I have to resort to inquiring the background color and
- :setting inputFocusColor to that?
-
- Gee - you mean your program is output only? Not having any inputFocus
- sounds to a layman like that is the fact. I guess that is possible - I
- don't suppose that perfmon needs an input focus. But I would think that if
- your program isn't trying to do input that it wouldnt use input focus...

- :I get warnings when I run the program without an OPENWINHOME set that points
- :to an OpenWindows v3 directory. It complains about not being able to find the
- :lib/Xol/scale.map file. I need to be able to run this program on X11R4, X11R5
- :and OpenWindows v2 servers. Can I disable that? What effect would it have on
- :the program? I've noticed a 'scaleMap' resource...can I set that to /dev/null?
- :Would it be legal to package the scaleMap file along with whatever other files
- :it needs into a program to send to others?
-
- Isn't the scalemap used for the operations of -large, -small, etc. on the
- comand line (indicating that you want to use the user's small, medium, large
- fonts, etc.)?
