[comp.windows.x.motif] columns of widgets: my way

wohler@sapwdf.UUCP (Bill Wohler) (05/23/91)

folks,

  the rowcolumn widget seems to be lacking.  perhaps you can help.
  i want to first fill up one column with 12 buttons, then fill up
  the second column with 12 buttons, and so on.  
  
  unfortunately if i have 14 buttons the rowcolumn's behavior is to
  create two columns of seven buttons each.  how would i get the row
  column (or any other widget) to generate one column with 12 buttons 
  and a second with four?

  i tried doing this manually with a form widget, but then the form
  widget doesn't make all the buttons the same size.  if this is the
  way i have to lay out the buttons, is there a nicer way than to dial
  through all the widgets, finding their size, and then dialing
  through all the widgets again, setting them all to the same size?
