I have a Box widget that contains a number of Command widgets, and I want to be able to change their sensitivity. Ideally, I would like to be able to do this by just changing the sensitivity of the Box widget that is their parent. This doesn't seem to work, however. If I set the sensitivity explicity when I create the Box widget, the Command widgets have the specified sensitivity. If, on the other hand, I set the sensitivity of the Box with XtVaSetValues, it doesn't seem to change the sensitivity of the children. I have managed to do what I want by doing a XtVaGetValues on the Box widget to get a list of the children, and then setting sensitivity on each one individually, but I would rather just change it on the Box widget. Am I doing something wrong, or do I misunderstand something, or is this a bug? -- It does not do to leave a dragon | Tom Weinstein ...ucbvax!hub!ucsbuxa!6600tom out of your calculations, if you | 6600tom@ucsbuxa.bitnet tom@bears.ucsb.edu live near him. --J.R.R.
