resizing widgets

description: hi, I am runing idl 3.5.1 on a spac station with Open look and I am trying to get some information about resizing widgets. It appears they they scale in extent (or at least width wise) Is it possible to give these widgets relative positioning, and maybe even relative sizing? Also, if anyone would like to comment about their experience of converting widgets between 3.1 and 3.5.1 I would be interested. Seems some things work a little different. ALSO, COMPUND WIDGET question, or maybe not compund widget question. If I build an application with widgets, and I want saw a draw widgets events to be handled seperately from the rest of the application, do I have to make it a compund widget so that its events can be trapped differently and handled by a routine I set up within a compound widget? Yes I am using XMANAGER and am therefore trying not to use /EVENT_PRO keyword for widget_draw (or at least I think thats what the 10,000 warnings say) thanks a bunch for any input on this stuff, -stephen Strebel -- Stephen C Strebel / SKI TO DIE stl@maz.stl.ch / and Swiss Meteorological Institute / LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT 01 256 93 85 / (and pray for snow)
