Is there a way of invoking action procedures registered with a widget using the action name ? For example, I would like to call the "reset" procedure for command widget from my program. I am using command widgets which upon selection create dialog boxes (using overrideshellWidget). Once the dialog box is created, the command widget does not get a LeaveNotify event and therefore remains highlighted. I would like the command widget to unhighlight when the dialog box is destroyed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Manoj Hardikar Intel Corporation

This is not currently possible, but we have spec'd and interface for Release 4. Furthor details will be avaliable as R4 approaches. 2) Your command buttons are not unhighlighting properly. This is a bug in R3 (and previous) version of the MIT Xt Intrinsics, it will be corrrected. 3) What can I do now? [ hack alert!!! (this is a tempory solution until the R4 intrinsics solve all your problems :-) ] Try rebinding the reset action to take place immediately after notify, something like this: <Btn1Up>: notify() reset() This changes the feel a bit, but it will keep the buttons from being left on.
