I have a paned window with multiple multiline text widgets in it. I'd like the widgets to always be at least as wide as the paned window. If they have to be larger (because the existing text, or the text that the user types extends further) I would like them to have scrollbars added (and they should start scrolling as the user types (currently the user just types off the edge and can't see what is happening). I would further like to ensure that the text area, even if started with no text in it, is as tall as the current pane allows. Basically it should always fill the pane. For single line text widgets, I'd like to also ensure that they are always as wide as their parent. This doesn't seem unreasonable, but I can't seem to find any combination of things that will make it happen. At this point I'd even settle for querying the parent size and setting the child to that size, but then I'd have to deal with resizing and everything else. Does anyone have an answer to this? -kee Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's. -------
