I have a dialog widget. I use it for various purpose. Before I pop it up, I 
would like to change it's default value using XtSetValues(). It doesn't work.
I am using R3. Here is my code.

void changeDlgValue(dlgW,value)
Widget dlgW; /* dialog widget */
String value;
{
	Arg args[1];

	XtSetArg(args[0], XtNvalue, value);
	XtSetValues(dlgW, args, 1);
	}
I get a segmentation fault.

I also tried this:

static changeDlgValue(dlgW,value)
Widget dlgW;
String value;
{
	 Arg args[1];
	 Widget valueW;

	 valueW = XtNameToWidget(dlgW,"value");
	 MakeArg(XtNstring,(XtArgVal)value);
	 XtSetValues(valueW, args, 1);
}

Here I get a toolkit error, someting like, XtSetValues for XtNstring resource 
is not supported for assciStringWidgetClass!

Is there a way to it? By the way, I can change the label of the dialog box 
widget using the above technique without problem.

Any help will be appeciated.

Thanks, manu
