I am using shell widget (transientShellWidgetClass) as a parent to command, label and text widgets (this seems to be the only way to force their position). After creation of all this I may want to change label for command and label widgets and background pixmap for all 3. To do this I use XtSetValues with proper args. However, I get a run-time error from X "parent has no geometry manger" (I assume it's manager). How can I change these properties (label and background pixmap) ? Response via email to mark%metasoft.uucp@BBN.COM will be espacially appreciated.

Try putting a form widget between the command, label, and text widgets. The form widget allows you to specify child widget placement. It sounds as though you are doing something similar to a dialog widget; you may want to consider using a dialog widget. Donna Converse converse@expo.lcs.mit.edu
