[comp.windows.x.motif] Events over Labels getting through to DrawingArea

montnaro@spyder.crd.ge.com (Skip Montanaro) (08/02/90)

I have a simple Motif application with the following widget structure:

1. RowColumn
2. 	RowColumn
3. 		PushButton
4. 		PushButton
5. 		PushButton
6. 	Frame
7.	 	DrawingArea
8.	 		Frame
9.	 			Label

For item 7 I have also used a BulletinBoard object. I have also tried a
PushButton in place of the Frame and Label widgets in items 8 and 9. Items 8
and 9 will be replicated.

I want mouse/button events over the Label widget to be passed through to the
DrawingArea widget. The intent is to be able to drag the Label object around
the DrawingArea. I always want coordinates in terms of the DrawingArea's
coordinate space. What can I do in the way of setting resources that will
allow this to happen? Are there other widgets I can use that will display
like a PushButton or a Frame+Label that will be transparent to mouse events?

Thx,
