2414.0. ".DAT files and resources HELP!" by CADYER::BMURRAY () Thu Mar 08 1990 15:52

    
    
    Could someone point me to some documentation on reading in .DAT files
    of resources for user preferences and also I'm looking to find where the
    routine DwtSetDECApplication is documented.  I just can't seem to get
    my source code to read in the resource .DAT file when it runs and I
    can't locate where it's documented. Thanks.

	I don't know about documentation, but I use the resource-files as follows. 1) location of file (I assume you use VMS) decw$system_defaults: or decw$user_defaults: 2) If your program is called "foo" use as a class-name in XtInitialize DECW$FOO and your resourcefile is called DECW$FOO.DAT 3) start all resources in your resourcefile with '*', this way you don't have to type your class-name all the time I don't say that this is the official way, but that's the way I use it and it works (which counts) Cheers, Mike

I don't know about documentation, but I use the resource-files as follows.

1) location of file (I assume you use VMS) decw$system_defaults:
	or decw$user_defaults:

2) If your program is called "foo" use as a class-name in XtInitialize
	DECW$FOO and your resourcefile is called DECW$FOO.DAT

3) start all resources in your resourcefile with '*', this way you don't 
	have to type your class-name all the time

I don't say that this is the official way, but that's the way I use it
	and it works (which counts)
