When I started out on unix.com, I was awestruck by the ultra-compressed one-liners from the clever guys (Scrutinizer, you were my hero!!!). Over time, I learned from you guys and started doling out some good (I believe Smilie) one-liners myself.

I viewed one-liners as a way to test my knowledge and bring in some supposedly esoteric features of the tool into the solution. But, now I realize that the people who will actually use that solution will hardly appreciate (or be able to) the "art". Also, the "compression" will only confuse myself some time in the future! So, it's better to make a trade-off somewhere...

NAME
XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder - A Drag and Drop function that reorders a stack of widgets that are registered drop sites SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/DragDrop.h> void XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder (widget, sibling, stack_mode) Widget widget; Widget sibling; Cardinal stack_mode; DESCRIPTION
XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder changes the stacking order of the drop site specified by widget. The stacking order controls the manner in which drag-under effects are clipped by overlapping siblings, regardless of whether they are active. The stack mode is relative either to the entire stack, or to another drop site within the stack. The stack order can be modified only if the drop sites are siblings in both the widget and drop site hierarchy, and the widget parent of the drop sites is registered as a composite drop site. Specifies the drop site to be restacked. Specifies a sibling drop site for stacking operations. If specified, then widget is restacked relative to this drop site's stack position. Specifies the new stack position for the specified widget. The values are XmABOVE and XmBELOW. If a sibling is specified, then widget is restacked as follows: The widget is placed just above the sibling. The widget is placed just below the sibling. If the sibling parameter is not specified, then widget is restacked as follows: The widget is placed at the top of the stack. The widget is placed at the bottom of the stack.
