Hi all, For a certain menu command, my application main window has to include two scrolled text widgets (one on top of another). In order for them to stay "glued" together when resizing, I have put them in a form using the attachment resources. What I am finding with the bottom scrolled text widget is that no matter what I try, it will attach itself to the top of the form. What I want it to do is attach itself to the bottom of the top scrolled text widget (in uil speak, this is XmNtopAttachment = XmATTACH_WIDGET; XmNtopWidget = XmScrolledText my_top_widget). Setting XmNrubberPositioning to True does not fix the problem; in fact when this resource is True, it then ignores the setting for XmNleftAttachment (which is to the form). I have been successful getting a label and a scrolled window to attach properly in the form, but scrolled text just isn't getting it. Any insights/suggestions/workarounds? I'm using ISC Motif, v1.0.

What I want it to do is attach itself to the bottom Set the constraints after creating the text, using XtParent(widget). Otherwise you are setting constraints on the widget when you want is the scrolledwindow parent.
