I have two questions : 1. I am creating a popup with XmCreateFormDialog. How can I give it a screen position other than the default center ? I tried setting the x and y for its parent, the shell, but it didn't seem to work. 2. How can create a XmScale so that I can change the value with XmScaleSetValue while not letting the user to modify the value using the mouse ?

Here is an answer for your first question: Set the XmNdefaultPosition to False when you create the dialog. E.g.: n = 0; . . XtSetArg(args[n], XmNdefaultPosition, False); n++; Widget dialog = XmCreate<your>Dialog(parent, "blabla", args, n); Then Position x, y; /* get root-relative x and y coordinates of the parent */ XtTranslateCoords(parent, 0, 0, &x, &y); /* move the dialog to the position you want relative to parent's x, y */ XtMoveWidget(dialog, x+100, y-100); Valentin Bazavan vbazavan@hpdtc.hp.com

This resource is brought to the party by the XmBulletinBoard widget class (which is the source for many important "dialog" features). - Dex Smith Interface Technology Operation Hewlett-Packard Company Corvallis, Oregon dex@hpcvlx.hp.com

This works, but has one drawback. If you just set the scale widget insensitive, the associated label widget becomes insensitive as well! You can prevent this by using the following code: XtSetSensitive (XtNameToWidget (scale_widget, "scale_scrollbar"), False); This way you are only affecting the scrollbar of the scale widget and the label remains readable...
