Re: numlock
Thomas,
Thank-you very very much!!! This is an excellent solution and works like a
treat!! Thanks so much.
JS.
OK. You asked for it. Below is a short C program which will check the
state of the NumLock key and synthesize a keydown/keyup sequence of the
NumLock key if it's down. Works on my box, which is Win2K, but I'm led to
believe from the documentation that it should work with any 32-bit
implementation of windows.
To build it, copy-paste the following source into a file (e.g.
numlockoff.c) then run gcc on it (e.g. gcc -o numlockoff numlockoff.c).
Then add that to a convenient location on your client systems and add a
call to it in your X startup script.
#include stdio.h
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include windows.h
int main()
{
INPUT pInput[2];
if (GetKeyState(VK_NUMLOCK) == 1)
{
pInput[0].type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
pInput[0].ki.wVk = VK_NUMLOCK;
pInput[0].ki.wScan = 0;
pInput[0].ki.dwFlags = 0; /* Nill for keydown */
pInput[0].ki.time= 0;
pInput[0].ki.dwExtraInfo = 0;
pInput[1].type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
pInput[1].ki.wVk = VK_NUMLOCK;
pInput[1].ki.wScan = 0;
pInput[1].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;
pInput[1].ki.time= 0;
pInput[1].ki.dwExtraInfo = 0;
if (SendInput(2, pInput, sizeof(INPUT)) == 0)
{
fprintf(stderr, Error: SendInput failed. NumLock was not
turned off.\n);
}
}

how to keep XWin menu open when clicking on an item
I would like to be able to click several times on an item of the XWin menu without it to close, so that I dont need to reopen the menu every time I click on an item. -- vdu
Mouse drag + leave window oddity...
First, I'd like to say how happy I am to be able to use xorg's -multiwindow mode, so I can get rid of Labtam's XThinPro (and exceed, ReflectionX and whatever else I've used in the past). Great job! I'm superhappy!!! Next, I use W2k and startxwin.bat with XWin -multiwindow -clipboard In e.g. xemacs (or xterm), use the mouse to select some text. Hold and do not release the mouse button yet. Now with the mouse button depressed, move the mouse out of the window e.g. onto the MSWindows desktop, and release the mouse button. When you move the mouse back into that same window, the window will behave as if the mouse button still was depressed. Moving the mouse button around (without any mouse button pressed) behaves as if button-1 was still pressed. Hereafter the behavior differs in xterms and xemacs: In an xterm, clicking the mouse button will change the behavior from the above described to behaving normally. In xemacs (where I spend most of my time) the mouse behavoir continues to be a little odd. Some kind of selection is fixed at the time of the next click, but the red cursor continues follows the mouse (as if the mouse button is still pressed) until I press CTRL-g. I say selection because in xemacs normally I only have one selection at a time. But this selection is weird in that it persists even when another selection is made. In fact there seems to be no way to clear this selection except kill-buffer + find-file or kill (the odd pseudo-selection) + undo. (This is kinda difficult to describe, but not so difficult to actually do... :-D) In summary, it appears as if some mouse-release event should be implied automatically when the mouse leaves a window. (At least when compared to how Windows works or how XFree-86 works under Linux and KDE.) Ok, so some may say that the test case itself is odd... :-D But I find that I see these symptoms sometimes, and it is confusing when it happens. I'm not quite certain whether this is the only way to trigger it, or indeed the way I myself trigger it, but I see the symptoms above once in a while during normal use, and I've found this test case reproduces the symptoms reliably. Anybody else aware of other ways to trigger it? Is this a known issue? If not, is there a bug report somewhere I should fill out?

I can't move the mouse cursor out of the xterm with the button pressed. I'm not using multiwindow, maybe that's the difference. Holger

Window focus, raise, and stacking order, and xterm maximize problems
Just want to mention that the problem of window focus, raise, and stacking order, described in the message 2004-03/msg00849.htm, followed up by Earle and Takuma, is still present in the current xwin server (6.7.0.0-4) in multiwindow mode. Has Earle's proposed fix been incorporated in the latest xwin? If so, it has not solved the problem. The second problem I believe also has been described before. When I use a virtual desktop program such as virtuawin, if I maximize an xterm on one desktop, switch to a second desktop, and then come back to the first, clicking restore down does not reduce the maximized xterm. Again, I just want to mention that the problem is still present. Raymond Kwong This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
