[comp.windows.x] change label of command widget

wong@h.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu (Hiulum Wong) (01/21/89)

I have tried to change the label of command widget and dialog widget
at run time using XtSetValue on XtNlabel. It doesn't work. It works
fine for label widget though. If you have any idea, please email to
the following address. Thanks in advance.

This is a (known) bug in the dialog widget.

The workaround is to use XtNameToWidget() to find that actual label
widget in the dialog, and change its label.  The name of the label widget
in the dialog is "label".
