I'm running release 3 on a Sun 3/260. When I try to *change* the original value of the label in a dialog widget using XtSetValues I get a core dump. Although I've seen nothing in the MIT documentation to lead me to believe otherwise I assume that ALL widget resources are subject to modification via XtSetValues. Ergo, is my assumption incorrect or is this a bug in the dialog widget? jc John Clyne (clyne@bierstadt.ucar.edu) c/o National Center for Atmospheric Research P.O.

That is true, all resource are settable, unless it is explicately stated otherwise, in any case it shouldn't dump core. Chris D.

However, I've hacked up some code to do the job, by going right into the primitives... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <X11/DialogP.h> /* replaces text in a text widget from startPos to endPos by strng */ void gr_TextReplace(wid,startPos,endPos,strng) Widget wid; char *strng; long startPos,endPos; { XtTextBlock text; text.firstPos = 0; text.length = strlen(strng); text.ptr = strng; text.format = FMT8BIT; XtTextReplace(wid,startPos,endPos,&text); } /* Returns the text child widget of an Athena Dialog widget */ Widget gr_DialogGetTextWind(w) Widget w; { return (((DialogWidget)w)->dialog.valueW); } /* Sets the value of the text child widget of an Athena Dialog widget */ void gr_DialogSetValue(wid,strng) Widget wid; char *strng; { Widget textWid; String oldStrng; textWid = ((DialogWidget)wid)->dialog.valueW; oldStrng = ((DialogWidget)wid)->dialog.value; gr_TextReplace(textWid,0,strlen(oldStrng),strng); } =============================================== Eng-Whatt Toh (ewtoh@ncsa.uiuc.edu) National Center for Supercomputing Applications University of Illinois ===============================================
