I have a scrolled window with a fixed size which shall scroll some togglebuttons which are children of a rowcolum widget. The problem now is, that there is enough space for more than one column of togglebuttons, but I don't know for how many and if possible, I don't want to calculate it. So I tried following for the rowcolumn widget: XtSetArg (al[ac], XmNwidth, 800); ac++; XtSetArg (al[ac], XmNresizeWidth, False); ac++; XtSetArg (al[ac], XmNorientation, XmHORIZONTAL); ac++; I hoped, that it would put as many togglebuttons as possible into one row and then wrap. Indeed it worked except, that the height of the rowcolumn widget becomes just the height of one row, so that the following rows don't appear. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help

I have n widgets, which are to be placed row by row in a row-column. AND they are of different widths, so not all columns are the same width, although all entries in a column are. The only way I could get this to work is to create a "single line" rowcolumn which is the size of one row. I create one of these (with my different size elements), and then add the single-line rowcolumn to the main rowcolumn, which now thinks it is a single column wide. Makes the code a little loopier but works like a charm. Why is it so difficult to just set up a rowcolumn which will accept things in row order? > Thanks for any help -- Greg Parkinson (212) 657-7814 Citibank Fax: 212-657-0068 111 Wall Street E-Mail: uunet!ibism!glp New York, NY 10043 The opinions expressed are my own and not those of Citibank.
