[comp.windows.x.motif] reusing popup form

steve@cfht.hawaii.edu (Steven Smith) (09/26/90)

I have a popup shell with a XmForm in it holding a few
standard things, and also a label widget.  I am trying to 
reuse this popup with different text in the label widget,
but cannot seem to make the form widget recalculate
it's size.  The first time it comes up, it is sized 
correctly for that instance of the label, but upon reuse
it either clips some of the label (if the text is longer)
or leaves lots of extra space.  I have tried the XmNresizable
resource, but this just results in toolkit warnings.
I have also tried unmanaging widgets far and wide, but 
this also fails.  Any ideas?

Software:
HP supplied Motif 1.0 and X11R3

thanks,
steve
