I have tried a set the resources of a particular gadget instance by a .Xdefaults file: (Cancel is it's name) case 1: myApp.*.Cancel.labelString: CANCEL # resource not set case 2: myApp.*.XmPushButtonGadget.labelString: CANCEL # resource not set case 3: myApp.*.*.labelString: CANCEL # resource set (The capital C in Cancel shouldn't be problem. Case 2 doesn't work either). I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to do something like that. I didn't find documentation on that subject. This happens with SCO ODT Motif. Thanks for your help. Thomas Schneider /dev Software, Munich UUCP: uunet!unido!tumuc!ths -- Thomas Schneider /dev Software, Munich UUCP: uunet!unido!tumuc!ths

I never saw this format before, but thinking about it, I guess it does make some sense.... However, what you should probably be doing is myApp*Cancel.labelString: CANCEL That is, ".*." "works, but then you have to count all the widgets in the tree from the top to the bottom in order for it to have any effect. > myApp.*.*.labelString: CANCEL # resource set > I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to do something like that. > I didn't find documentation on that subject. > This happens with SCO ODT Motif. I'm not familiar with SCO's ODT environment, but documentation for resource string specification is rather abundant in the basic MIT docs and your series of O'Reilly manuals. -- dan ---------------------------------------------------- O'Reilly && Associates argv@sun.com / argv@ora.com Opinions expressed reflect those of the author only.
