By 'act like the standard Motif dialogs', I mean how the standard dialogs handle resize actions. By 'look like the standard Motif dialogs', I mean have the basic 3 buttons (OK, Cancel, Help), a separator gadget, and a area for the dialog's information. I I guess I should state I am using Motif 1.1. As an example, I am trying to create a dialog like this: ----------------------------------------- | | | LabelGadget TextWidget | | toggleButtonGadget1 | | toggleButtonGadget2 | | toggleButtonGadget3 | | | |---------------------------------------- | | | [Ok] [Cancel] [Help] | | | ----------------------------------------- What is the collection of widget's/gadget's that will accomplish this look? How do I get these widget's/gadget's to act like a dialog if the user resizes? Please E-mail me and I'll summarize if there is any interest. Thank you -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Smith davids@gdfwc3, General Dynamics, gdfwc3!davids@central.sun.com, Fort Worth Division or uunet!texsun!gdfwc3!davids ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
