The palette documentation is lacking. Palette is not used by any ATK applications. There is a class called suite that does have some documentation and working examples. The class ( including documentation ) is located in andrew/atk/apt/suite. The bush application uses several instances of the suite class which you could use as a model. The pertinent module is andrew/atk/bush/bushv.c. I know of no ATK class that manages multiple button panels. You need to instantiate each different button panel and only link the currently active panel into the view tree. Gary Keim ATK Group

ADEW does have a 'page' object which can be used for overlaying different button panels in one area of the screen. I've been using it for some experimental stuff and it has worked fine, so far.
