Manage a widget over the rest

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 05/14/2001 - 11:49. Developers
Hi!
I have an application in which I need to show a list at determinated moments; I`m using Motif 1.2, so I have no XmCombo. The problem is when I manage the list, it stays below the rest of the widgets in the window and it can`t be seen in a good way.

Thank you for your help.

I think you have several options
1) If you list is a sibling of these other widgets which apear on top of it, you should unmanage the other widgets. (not really a nice way to go)
2) you could do your layout in such a way that there is always space for the list to show up (again, not a nice way to go)
3) you could make your list a popup window. (which is what i think you are going for, since you are trying to imitate the combobox widget). why not an option menu?

Or you can acquire a combination box widget which is meant for Motif 1.2. There are several, including one by Harald Albrecht, which are freely available.

The Epak widget set contains a Paned widget which can have both a horizontal and a vertical direction, i dont know of any free ones out there, (but there probably are)

Didn`t this feature make it into Motif 2.1? It was in the code, but stubbed out, in Motif 2.0. See if it has the XmNorientation resource.
