Hi dbl,
for the past few weeks I have been working my way to do what I need without knowing MWM values. but I do not understand how this can be done. I will explain
I have a few windows (5 actually) in my application and I want to set them in exact positions so they will fill the entire screen. But on every platform and even on the same platform in different stations the MWM border width can vary by the value set in
MWM*frameBorderWidth 5
More critical then that is the setting
MWM*positionIsFrame True/False
If the positionIsFrame is different then all the windows come up at wrong places because the window manager calculates the position differently.
I want to create one function that gets the screen size and width (no problem there) and fits my 5 windows on the entire screen. How ever this is impossible to do if I don?t know what the Mwm is going to do with my windows.
Another question on this subject
Can I insert Mwm resources to the Motif DB using
XrmSetResource/XrmGetResource ?
I really really need help on this one.
Thanks in advance
No.
And you can`t.
The system doesn`t work that way.
If you need exact control over your windows, then provide mwm configurations for the user to use.
On the window manager level this is (almost) impossible with different windows.
But.. What you explain is that you want the widows to cover a certain area (the screen) as a whole. I.E. as one window.
Why not make them subwindows of one window? Apparently that is how
you want them to behave.
