[comp.windows.x] Help on opening widgets using different resource files

Hello,

	Thanks for the information I received the last time I posted a
query.  It was very helpful indeed !

I am working with WCL, using Athena widget set.

Right now, I have come across a minor stumbling block.  I am trying to
open multiple widgets, each controlled by a different resource file. I
have succeeded in setting my environment in my program, but I am having
problems initializing the new resource file.  I am using totally
different callback routines, but when I try to open the new widget, it
gives me a mass of errors concerning multiple attempts to initialize the
database.  However, it will still go ahead and open the second widget. 
I tried to fix this problem by doing a 

     XtUnrealizeWidget

instead of a XtDestroyWidget, but when I try to open the second widget,
the old one pops up instead. How do I manipulate multiple resource files
from the same program ?


Now I have a totally different question.  I have created a dialog
widget.  I am opening the widget and destroying it using the XtRealize
Widget and XtUnrealizeWidget commands.  However, when I open the widget
again, the old data that I typed in the first time is still there.  How
do I clear my dialog widget to start fresh everytime ? 

Any information you may have is greatly needed and appreciated ! Thanks
