RowColumn 2. RowColumn 3. PushButton 4. PushButton 5. PushButton 6. Frame 7. DrawingArea 8. Frame 9. Label For item 7 I have also used a BulletinBoard object. I have also tried a PushButton in place of the Frame and Label widgets in items 8 and 9. Items 8 and 9 will be replicated. I want mouse/button events over the Label widget to be passed through to the DrawingArea widget. The intent is to be able to drag the Label object around the DrawingArea. I always want coordinates in terms of the DrawingArea's coordinate space. What can I do in the way of setting resources that will allow this to happen? Are there other widgets I can use that will display like a PushButton or a Frame+Label that will be transparent to mouse events? Thx, -- Skip (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com)
