Hi.. does anyone know if there is an xlib equivalent to the win32 function MesssageBox? Thanks.

Unfortunatly no, and no XExtensions with that feature
either. However there are two alternatives, you can
create your own or use a widget set.

Using a widget set often requires that the widget set
take control of the looping and that is not desired for
a game. It can slow things down tremendously.

I do have a Xlib source for a Xlib made message box
that I use for our X games. If you are interested
in that source (compile time, not a library), please reply.

Thanks for your reply! I had a sinking feeling that there wouldnt be an equivalent.

I certainly would be *very* interested if you have a bit of source that does the same thing. My email address is richard@arachnia.dynip.com

Thanks for your time!

Could you also send it to cdoty@netzero.net.

I just ran into the same situation myself...

I''ve ported a ''demo'' that I wrote to about 8 different OSes (if Java and XPhoton count as OSes). Most OSes support something similar to a messagebox.
