I am trying to use r4 Athean Widgets to make some custom menu-like and dialog-type interface things. When I use the ChainRight to get my text field to go all the way across the dialog, it sits on the left. When I use ChainRight to get the cancel button to stay left, it stays on the right next to the ok button. Is there a fix for this? ChristainM

Unfortunately the Athena Form widget will probabally not do what you want. The XawChain<something> resources are not used when the form is originally laying out the widget, only when the widgets are resized. I suggest that you read the R4 Xaw documentation about the Form widget's layout policy. It is pretty clear about what it can and cannot do. Remember that you can chain the left and right edges of a child of the Form independantly. Chris D.
