3037.0. "DwtGetNextSegment problem " by DSSDEV::PERRON () Thu Jul 05 1990 10:31

I'v built a callback routine for the file selector widget
that looks like this:

	callback( Widget widget, int * tag, DwtFileSelectionCallbackStruct * r )

when using the two fields

		r->value
		r->dirmask

I get a access to location zero on VMS and a nonaligned, put fixed up
access on RISC-ultix.  When doing the following


	DwtCompStringContex	context;
	DwtCompString		cs_value= (DwtCompString) r->value;

		DwtInitGetSegment( &context, cs_value );

	char	* text;
	long	charset;
	Boolean	dir;
	long	lang, rend;

	DwtGetNextSegment( &context, &text, &charset, &dir, &lang, &rend );

NOTE:
	the doc. says use a:

			char * text;

	I think this sould read:

			char ** text;

I get the problem with the call to DwtGetNextSegment.....

Any thoughts or sample code to look at ??


Let me thank you now in advance.....

    This one is getting popular...
    
    Your declaration
    
       Boolean dir
    
    generates a byte but the documentation and code insist on a longword.
