My problem is that I use XmCreateFormDialog and pass topLevel as the parent. At runtime I get an error saying that topLevel has size of 0 width and/or height. I don't care about topLevel I just want to have a dialog window that I can pop up and down at will. As a work around I've given topLevel a height and width, and set XmNmappedWhenManaged to False. I'm doing something wrong and I need the correct calls to make this happen. Maybe I need to create a transient shell or something like that. Please let me know. jon -- ______________________________________________________________________________ jon@innerdoor.austin.ibm.com * Insert Standard Disclaimer here * IBM Advanced Workstations Division Austin, Texas USA 512-823-5156
