Using Motif I have a drawingArea widget that is a child of a selectionBox
widget. In my application I want to explicitly change the size of the
drawingArea widget and then have the selectionBox widget resize itself to
accomadate the new size of the drawingArea widget. I realize that there is
no guarentee that the parent widget will allow a resize on one of its
children but is there a way to make this happen most of the time. This is
all happening after managing and realizing the widgets. I have tried calling
XtResizeWidget on the drawingArea widget and its size appears to have
changed. Now all I need is something like Remanage to call on the
selectionBox widget.
