Message-ID: <14952@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA> Date: Thu, 23-Jul-87 20:35:58 EDT Article-I.D.: teknowle.14952 Posted: Thu Jul 23 20:35:58 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 25-Jul-87 09:32:57 EDT Organization: Teknowledge, Inc., Palo Alto CA Lines: 40 Keywords: V10R4 uwm question Is there a way to do Suntools style walking menus in XV10R4? My .uwmrc looks (in part) like: menu = "Root Menu" { "New Shell Window": !"xterm &" "ReDisplay All": f.refresh "Restart UWM": f.restart "Preferences ->": f.menu:"Preferences" } menu = "Preferences" { Bell Loud:!"xset b 7&" Bell Normal:!"xset b 3&" Bell Off:!"xset b off&" Click Loud:!"xset c 8&" Click Soft:!"xset c on&" Click Off:!"xset c off&" Lock On:!"xset c on&" Lock Off:!"xset c off&" Mouse Fast:!"xset m 4 2&" Mouse Normal:!"xset m 2 5&" Mouse Slow:!"xset m 1 1&" } When I bring up the root menu, in order to get to the Preferences menu, I have to do a mouse click outside the root menu. Most annoyingly, the Preferences menu pops up where the root menu did -- not where my mouse cursor was at the time of the mouse click. Is there a way to make the Preferences menu pop up when the "Preferences" item in the root menu is highlighted, or as in suntools walking menus, when I slide the mouse over to the right end of that item? I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require hacking the X source.
