[ba.windows.x] text in label widgets appears too late

chapman@lll-lcc.UUCP (Carol Chapman) (06/06/89)

I am trying to display 3 images at a time with a label preceeding each
image.  To do this I am using a viewport widget with a form widget
within it.  The images are stored in core widgets and the labels are
label widgets.  All works well, except that the labels each appear as
empty windows until the routine ends and control returns to
XtMainLoop.  At that time the text for each label finally appears.
Well, better late than never, but I really want it to appear at the
same time that the label window appears.  I've tried calling XFlush,
XSync and XtFormDoLayout, but none of these helped.  What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks,
carol chapman
