I'm writing an application using Xaw, and have the following entry in its resource file: *chartForm*fromHoriz: buttonBox chartForm is a Form widget and buttonBox is a Box widget. Both of these widgets are children of topForm, a Form widget. This resource entry works, i.e. the chartForm is placed to the right of the buttonBox. Also if the entry isn't there, the buttonBox is superimposed on the chartForm (undesired behavior). But when I start the program, I get: Warning: Cannot convert string "buttonBox" to type Widget Which seems spurious to me, because somehow it works anyway. (I'm also having trouble getting XawEdgeType's to actually work as advertised - sometimes XawChainBottom works, sometimes it doesn't and the edge behaves like XawRubber - but that's a question for another post.) What's going on?

I'm writing an application using Xaw, and have the following entry in its resource file: *chartForm*fromHoriz: buttonBox Which specifies that chartForm and every descendent of chartForm should have it's fromHoriz constraint resource value set to buttonBox. chartForm is a Form widget and buttonBox is a Box widget. Both of these widgets are children of topForm, a Form widget. But when I start the program, I get: Warning: Cannot convert string "buttonBox" to type Widget Try specifying it just for chartForm, not it's children *chartForm.fromHoriz: buttonBox Donna Converse
