NAME

cxXtAreaAttach - attach a widget hierarchy to a control panel drawing area

C SPECIFICATION

#include <cx/XtArea.h>

void cxXtAreaAttach( Widget top, long windowID)

FORTRAN SPECIFICATION

subroutine cxXtAreaAttach(top,windowID)
integer top
integer windowID

PARAMETERS

top
The widget to attach.
windowID
The X window ID of the parent window.

DESCRIPTION

This function attaches a form widget top created by cxXtAreaInitialize(3E) to the X window with ID windowID. This X window ID is usually passed in as a parameter from the IRIS Explorer user interface.

cxXtAreaInitialize(3E) initially creates its widget off screen. cxXtAreaAttach(3E) moves the widget (and all its widget children) into a window that is usually on screen, thus making it visible.

The X version of the Module Control Wrapper must be used in all modules that use this routine.

See the IRIS Explorer Module Writer's Guide for examples of using a cxXtArea.
