Can anyone tell me how to force mwm to deiconify a TopLevel widget in my application which has been iconified? Specifically, my applictation has several topLevel widgets and there are times when I want to deiconify certain widgets. I tried setting the iconfy attribute of the toplevel, but that appears to be used only for initial state. I've been told I need to send a client message to mwm but can't figure out how to do this? Any help would be appreciated. -- Larry Poleshuck Citibank 111 Wall Street New York, NY 10043 Phone: 212-657-7709 Fax: 212-825-8607 E-Mail: uunet!ibism!lcp

I think I first saw this in the FAQ in comp.windows.x, there's lots of useful stuff there (as there is in the comp.windows.x.motif FAQ). This probably works for the topLevel widget too, but I haven't tried it with that one. (I only included it in the example so you wouldn't think I was crazy not doing XtInitialize).
