I am using LessTif 0.91.0-1.i386 on RedHat 6.0 and have a pointer grab
problem.
After poping up (XtManageChild) a popup menu (in front of another
application's
main window) I try to grab the pointer with
XtGrabPointer( my_main_window, True, ButtonReleaseMask,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync,
None, None, CurrentTime);
The popup is not a button3 callback, but is invoked from an ipc message
from the other app.
The problem is I sometimes get a warning that says the following:
Name: popup_mypopup (NOTE: mypopup is my name for the
widget)
Class: XmMenuShell
Can't grab pointer.
This results in locking up the Xserver.
My buttonpick callbacks Ungrab the pointer and UnManageChildren on the
buttons (there will likely be a different number of buttons and different
labels the next time the menu is popped up.
Any suggestions on preventing the Can't grab pointer message?
thanks
Richard Mead
