Is there any way to override the toggle button resource XmNvisibleWhenOff when the button is a child of a row column menu? This is forced to False in this case. The style guide says it should be this way but nobody here happens to like that no button appears. There is just blank space where it would be. rharmon@srg.UUCP | Bob Harmon @ Arinc Research | Riva Rd, Annapolis | Disclaimer: 301-266-4964 | Any opinions expresed are mine (or Don's)

I agree with you. Nobody likes it in our organization either.

The way to get set this resource on a ToggleButtonGadget inside a pulldown menu is set the resource AFTER it is created. Apparently that is the only time Motif checks it.

I don't like it either--it is particularly bad for check boxes since, if they are all off initially, the user has no clue how it works (and the menu disappears before the feedback shows up).
