XmNlabelString

[vmnithin]

Hello,

I created a LABEL widget using XtVaCreateWidget function.
Now I want to update the XmNlabelString fom another function in which I

will pass a string and I want to fetch the corresponding entry from the

Resource file which cant be done by the XtVaSetValues function. Please
hel[p me to find a solution
For example the string I passed to the function is "quit" and
the corresponding entry in the Resource file is " *quit.labelString
: EXIT ".
Now I want the label to be updated as "EXIT".
This can be done at the time of creation fo widget by using the
XtVaCreateWidget(). But for me I want to update an already created
widget.
I cant use XtVaSetValues because it takes the string directly as

void setString(const char *s)
{
xmstr = XmStringCreateLocalized( (char *)s );
//I want a method to load from Resource file
XtVaSetValues( Widget,
XmNlabelString,xmstr,
NULL );
XmStringFree(xmstr);
}

An XrmDatabase can be had from the call XtDatabase() or
XtScreenDatabase() (declared in Intrinsic.h); once you have that,
you can try XrmGetResource() (declared in Xresource.h). You'll
need an XrmNameList == XrmQuarkList; you can get this from
XrmStringToQuarkList.

(I'll admit I don't know precisely how well all this will work, but
that's what a read of the include files suggests.)
