How to change the Information in a an application (Window)

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 07/18/2002 - 15:50. Developers
Hi,

I am new to motif and i have a query . Please help me in finding out a solution for this.

When a motif application is running, how can I send message to it? For example,
if a Main window has been created, in which there is a Infomation List, now I want
to change the information by a message outside the application. What APIs or
functions should I use? can I use a method like "SendMessage" of Windows system to pass message?

Thanks for ur help,
vara

There is no standard method, but you may be able to use editres (see http//www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/Editres2/Editres2.html for details).If the application you want to have respond to messages is your own, you can use some other property-based scheme.
