Lines: 34 A few days ago I asked about how one goes about getting multiple independent widgets to appear on the screen. Almost everyone misunderstood what I meant by independent. By independent I mean that I need to be able to operate on the widgets as independent windows. I need to be able to resize and iconify them individually, as well as move them on top of one another. The Box, Form, etc. widgets do not allow me to do this. True, they can put multiple widgets on the screen, but not *indpendent* of each other. I have 2 general suggestions on how to go about this, but all I have is a reference manual for Xt, so expanding outlines into programs can be tough. I'm reposting because *someone* out there must have already written some code to do this, which would save me time trying to parse the reference manual. Anybody...? Please...? For a cookie...? -- ----------------------------------- Bill Patterson pattersw@turing.cs.rpi.edu Computer Science Department Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY.
