    How do I create a dialog box that accepts text input in XWindows.

    I'm trying to write a simple program in C using XWindows libraries and I can't figure out how to create a window that displays a dialog box that takes text and outputs it to a field.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you.

    Why wouldn't you use GTK+ or KDE this will simplify your task...Gerard4143

    Here's a link for GTK+ with some tutorials:

    I don't know if this fills your need, but if it does, you don't even have to mess with any X Window library, no GTK+, no KDE, no nuthin'.
    Code:
    man xmessage
man system
