This program segment displays a string stored in the variable descriptionString.
ac = 0; XtSetArg (al[ac], DtNhelpType, DtHELP_TYPE_DYNAMIC_STRING); ac++; XtSetArg (al[ac], DtNstringData, (char *)descriptionString); ac++; XtSetValues (quickHelpDialog, al, ac); XtManageChild (quickHelpDialog);
If the string is no longer needed within the application, the memory can be freed, because the help dialog makes its own copy of the data.
XtFree (descriptionString);
