[comp.windows.x.motif] Widget Name

sean@luna.dpl.scg.hac.com (Sean Cohan) (10/02/90)

I am using XQueryPointer to get the widget of the current x and y location.
Once I have the widget retruned into a variable, how can I find out what the
widget's real name is?  For example, if I created a pushbutton like:

	button = XtCreateWidget("Button", xmPushButtonWidgetClass, parent,
	                        args, argcnt);

How can I find out that the widget returned from XQueryPointer is named
"Button"?

X11R4 and Motif1.1 have a XtName(widget) function that returns the
widget's instance name.
