The biggest problem you face is that the actual X windows are not created until the XtRealize call is made and you need the window IDs to create/modify properties. I do not have any code to show you. After the XtRealize you will want to do XtWindow on the specified widgets to get their respective window ID and then XChangeWindowProperty to your hearts content. You may find that you will probably need to do some event processing during this phase since all windows will not be created right after the XtRealize call. Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- Jim West west@gsrc.dec.com --------------------------------------------------
