It is an InstallAnywhere application with our custom code/classes for the screens. So the IA SW may be what has issues, so I may not be able to do anything about this. I just wanted to ask the question. We are using an old version of IA. I tried to add the -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit ... couldn't really get it to work. I am still trying though! Any other insight, please let me know. KM ________________________________ Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 2:39 PM Subject: text fields in app don't allow input when running Cygwin X I have an application that I have always compiled on Linux and then invoked via X Windows with my installed Cygwin X. Basically use a shortcut to startwin.exe (full command is C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe ). This always started my X server in the background (no root window, or invisible root window), and still does. All I had to do is log into my server, export my DISPLAY and start the app. However I have recompiled my application with java 7 and now all of the radio buttons, buttons, scrollbars, and checkboxes, etc. all still work as before. The only thing that does NOT work is a text field. I can not get the focus of the mouse in there, nor can I change or enter any data in those fields. When I start Cygwin x from the Cygwin xterminal in a windowed env (e.g. starx from command line), and export my DISPLAY on the server, the application works, but is contained within the root window. I never had to do it this way before and it looks slightly different, no separate window borders etc. We also use Reflection for an X server - that seems to run the recompiled application fine. Any ideas? Also I apologize if I'm not saying this quite right! Thanks for any help. If you need more info let me know.
