Hi ,
we are using motif 1.2 .
I need help with option menus.
As of now, if the number of entries in the option menu is very large, the size of the menu becomes larger than the height of the monitor and I cannot see entries at the end. How do I get
around this problem. In various applications, I saw that,
in such situations a new row of options gets created once the size gets bigger than the height of the sceen .. How do I acheieve this ??? Is it some resource I need to set ???
Thanks in advance for your help.

The OptionMenu is a RowColumn in disguise, so you can set the XmNnumColumns resource.
Note that if you really have that many items (more than a dozen or so), you should find a different user interface.

I have the same problem. I increased the numColumns and the bottom of option list still disappeas off the bottom of the screen. I am using the option list to display the list of items. The user creates the items. So, is there a widget that I can use that allows the user to navigate through the list of items.
