I'm running motif 1.01 and X11R3, and when trying to dimension a scale widget, it seems that the slider area is fixed (scaleWidth in the HORIZONTAL processing direction). I can resize the thickness of the slider ok (scaleHeight in the HORIZONTAL). | |---------------------------------| V ||-------------------------------|| || [] || scaleHeight ||-------------------------------|| |---------------------------------| ^ | |<------- scaleWidth ---------->| CAN NOT GET THIS TO CHANGE. Please help! Do you know how to resize the scaleWidth? The OSF/Motif books from OSF are lacking adequate reference on scales (and many other things). Thanks in advance. Dale E.

I had the same problem, I solved this by making sure the container widget (the
scale widget's
parent) was as wide as was needed to set the scaleWidth. I found this a little
annoying since
you would think the the geometry negotiation between the parent and child would
handle
this.
