I am having a problem with the HP widgets (Sun 3/50 SunOS 3.5, with 11R3 from MIT, patch 1-9, the HP widgets were picked up from uunet archives) I have a set of widgets of class Toggle, managed by a RowCol widget. I am using mode one_of_many. They seem to work as I expect, that is when I pick one of the toggles any other selected one becomes unselected. The one thing I want to do that I haven't been able to is to have one of the toggles come up in the selected state. I can make the toggle selected by using a XtSetValues of XtNset but the RowCol manager doesn't seem to notice that. The result it that the toggle set in that manner is not released by the manager when another toggle is picked by the user. What I am trying to do is to have the set of toggles come up with a default selected but have it act in the same manner as if that toggle had been selected by the user. Does any one have a suggestion on the correct way to get the functionallity I am looking for. It seems to me I must be overlooking something obvious as that seems to be a rather normal way for the toggles to work. Maybe I'm loosing my mind!

Rath (car@melmac.att.com) was so kind as to provide the correct answer to the problem which I will give here for anyone else who is as puzzled as I. >>In order for the Xw row column widget to notice that a toggle has >>been set, the XtNselect callbacks of the toggle must be called as >>well as setting XtNset to True. >>i.e. >>... >>XtSetArg(args[n], XtNset, (XtArgVal)True) n++; >>XtSetValues(toggle, args, n); >>XtCallCallbacks(toggle, XtNselect, (caddr_t)0); Works like a charm!
