I am trying to move the window corresponding to a command widget which is a child of a form widget. In the callback of the command widget I extract its window ID using XtWindow(). Now I want to move this window just like any other window using XMoveWindow() and then XMapRaised(). The outcome: The command widget vanishes but it does not show up at the new place. Do I have to operate on XtMainLoop? A local event hander in the callback looking for expose events did not make the window visible. sanjay

You shouldn't be moving your widget that way; instead you should be doing an XtSetValues on its XtNx and XtNy resources. You're probably confusing the poor form widget something awful. -paul asente asente@decwrl.dec.com decwrl!asente
