I'm using Motif version 1.0 from ICS on a Sun 3. Here is the layout I'd like: ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Some Label: | XmText | a radio box with several options | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Some Long Label: | XmText | a radio box with several options | ----------------------------------------------------------------- The basic idea is: I'd like everything in each row to line up, so the height of each row element is the same. The height of both rows would coincidentally be the same. I'd like each column to be wide enough for its widest element, but no wider. What I can get now is an XmRowColumn where all the rows are identical heights, and all the columns are identical widths. Therefore, in the above example, I get columns with the labels which are very wide, as wide as the radio boxes. I can't go with three separate row columns, because the height of the labels, text, and radio boxes are all different, so they don't line up. Ugly. Yet the existing set up is very wasteful of screen real-estate. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Smyth david@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov Senior Software Engineer, seismo!cit-vax!jpl-devvax!david X and Object Guru.
