[comp.windows.x] Parameters to widgets within widgets..

dheller@cory.Berkeley.EDU (Dan Heller) (09/13/88)

Does anyone have suggestions on how to specify widget arguments to
widgets that are part of another widget?  For example, if I create
a viewport widget and I want tos specify the size, color, or other
attributes of the scrollbars within the viewport widget, I don't
appear to have any means to do so.

Note, this is from the _programmer_'s point of view -- I know that
the _user_ can specify the viewport's scrollbar attributes in the
resource manager.

Your application should supply an app-defaults resource file.
