Motif Lockup

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 08/20/2001 - 15:48.

Hi, I am running on a solaris 6 box with an SC4.0 compiler running C++ 4.1. There seems to be a problem with my application. When a certain event has been captured, a simple dialog box pops up, just a label and an ok button on it.

The problem is this. My main window has a bunch of dropdown lists on it. When I am dropping down the list, and let go of the left mouse click button, if a popup message comes up notifying me that something went wrong in the process that the program is performing, or that a limit has been reached, the program hangs. In other words, I am not able to click the ok/cancel button on the popup because it seems the focus has been left on the main window with the dropdown lists. The only way for me to hit the ok/cancel buttons on the popup is by using the keyboard. When the popup finally goes away, the main window seems to have the list box button pushed down, but no list is showing. If I try to click it nothing happens until I click it, and then 2 other buttons, and then my main window seems to be back in order.

The popups are created using XmCreate*DialogBox where the * is Information, Error, Question, etc.

If anyone could offer any help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Joe
