Hello.
Please help me, because I am stuck in this problem. I searched all over the net, but I couldn't figure out how can I do such a thing. Actually, I saw the XmStringDraw function, which probably could do such a thing. But it isn't well documented and a few examples is what I found.
Bottom of line, I want to be able to put a text which has different colors (from this point I stopped thinking about XmText widget), has underlined words and also highlighted words. The text is read only, so I thought that a label widget is the way. Wrong :( If in a XmText I can highlight words, in a XmLabel I can't. If in a XmLabel I can use coumpound strings (XmString) and thus been able to set different colors in text, in a XmText I can't. So I really have to reach to a compromise, and somehow concatenate these two widgets.
Can you please give me an idea how to do this? And I don't think that I have to start creating a new widget, probably because I don't have such a time and also I'm thinking that there may be a simple solution (which I'm totally missing :(( )
Thank you for reading this
