How do I have more buttons than three in a MessageBox?
to have something like a MessageBox (or other widget) with more than three buttons, but with the same nice appearance. [Last modified: Feb 95] Answer: The Motif 1.2 MessageBox widget allows extra buttons to be added after the OK button. Just create the extra buttons as children of the MessageBox. Similarly with the SelectionBox. Pre-Motif 1.2, you have to do one of the following methods. A SelectionBox is created with four buttons, but the fourth (the Apply button) is unmanaged. To manage it get its widget ID via XmSelectionBoxGetChild(parent, XmDIALOG_APPLY_BUTTON) and then XtManage it. Unmanage all of the other bits in the SelectionBox that you don’t want. If you want more than four buttons, try two SelectionBoxes (or similar) together in a container, where all of the unwanted parts of the widgets are unmanaged. Alternatively, build your own dialog: /* Written by Dan Heller. Copyright 1991, O’Reilly && Associates. * This program is freely distributable without licensing fees and * is
