hello, all!
this is a bit off topic but i figured someone out there either could help
me or would point me in the right direction...the question is about making
a menu in X.
Basically, i thought i would try using the Athena widget set for a menu
program. I have a programming manual for the X11R3/4 releases. I can make
a simple menu but am a bit confused about one aspect.
I want to create a menu (not a popup type), which has as its options a set
of items that are set by the user, and that can be changed in a resource
file. So, the number of widgets has to be updated and maybe changed each
time the program runs. Does that make sense?
so, imagine the menu has:
item1
item2
item3
which are listed in a resource file that can be added to, say with item 4,
or item 3 can be removed. These, items would also change over time as more
options would be added by the user.
So, my question is, is there a simple way for the menu to be
updated/increased or decreased in size at run-time, where the items are not
hard-coded into the program?
thanks for any help you can give.
