A while back, I posted a message asking if anyone new how to manage button widgets the same way that the selection box or file selection box widgets do; maintaining a relative position of the button without changing the size of the button, and reorganizing placement if the window is to small in one direction or another. For those who don't know about this but want to see some nice management of buttons, use xmdialogs to manage a selection box and then start playing with the size of the selection box... I received one response, which was helpful in providing a consistent display at least, but caused the size of the buttons to grow to match the width of the window and did not support the re-ordering capability. (Many thanks to that person!)) I am asking again. Anybody who didn't respond the first time because they figured that someone else would, please respond now. Send all responses via email and I will summarize back to here. If I get no responses, I'll assume that this functionality is not available to the outside world, and will take steps to submit an RFT to the OSF Motif developers.

Hello, If you use a form for your buttons area, then you will be able to attach only the top-left corner of each buttons ( ATTACH_POSITION on top and left ). Therefore, buttons size will not change but their position should move relative to each other ... I Hope that's helps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexis MERMET-GRANDFILLES HEWLETT-PACKARD Tel: 76 62 12 11 Grenoble Network Division Fax: 76 62 52 00 5 avenue Raymond Chanas - EYBENS alex@hpgndxo.hp.com 38053 GRENOBLE CEDEX 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
