Oh, dear. :-(

You might have a look at ZIMAGE. It might even do exactly
what you are trying to do. You *definitely* need to know
what window is the current graphics window (the one you
will be drawing into) in a widget program. You do it
by doing a WSET to the window index number. This number
is the *value* of the draw widget:

Widget_Control, drawWidgetID, Get_Value=wid
WSet, wid

Cheers,

David

Thank you Mike,

that was fast, "pitiful" enough and more over very help full!!!

Best regards

Marco

PS: I will definitely read more books in the future - even some on
IDL :-)

Try the program listed below; it's not hard to write, but the
explanation would be (MUCH) longer than the program. For a full
explanation, I would see one of the fine books available to learn IDL
(http://www.ittvis.com/language/en-US/Support/IDLBooks.aspx). To try it, do:

IDL> a = 1
IDL> b = 2
IDL> c = 3
IDL> save, a, b, c, filename='test.sav'
IDL> mg_sav_selection, 'test.sav'

The user interface is pretty simple: change the test in the text box at
the bottom to the name you want to call the variable and then select the
variable you want to import from the list.

pro mg_sav_selection_event, event
compile_opt strictarr
on_error, 2

widget_control, event.top, get_uvalue=pstate
uname = widget_info(event.id, /uname)
case uname of
'var_list': begin
varname_text = widget_info(event.top, find_by_uname='varname_text')
widget_control, varname_text, get_value=varname
(*pstate).s->restore, ((*pstate).varnames)[event.index]
(scope_varfetch(varname, /enter, level=1)) $
= scope_varfetch(((*pstate).varnames)[event.index])
end
'varname_text': ; no need to do anything
else: message, 'unknown widget event'
endcase
end


pro mg_sav_selection_cleanup, tlb
compile_opt strictarr

widget_control, tlb, get_uvalue=pstate

obj_destroy, (*pstate).s
ptr_free, pstate
end


pro mg_sav_selection, sav_filename
compile_opt strictarr

s = obj_new('IDL_Savefile', sav_filename)
varnames = s->names(count=nvars)
if (nvars eq 0L) then return

tlb = widget_base(/column, title='Select variables from ' + sav_filename)
var_list = widget_list(tlb, value=varnames, xsize=20, ysize=10, $
uname='var_list')
varname_text = widget_text(tlb, value='varname', xsize=20, /editable, $
uname='varname_text')
widget_control, tlb, /realize

state = { s: s, varnames: varnames }
pstate = ptr_new(state, /no_copy)
widget_control, tlb, set_uvalue=pstate

xmanager, 'mg_sav_selection', tlb, /no_block, $
event_handler='mg_sav_selection_event', $
cleanup='mg_sav_selection_cleanup'
end

Oh, dear! I'm off to Australia in a few hours, so I
won't be able to help. But, I will tell you that
nearly everything about this program is wrong. :-)

Ben Tupper, or someone else, may take pity on you. Or,
I'll give you some help when I get back. But, just
briefly, I think you want to use the IDL_Savefile
object to query your save file and get the variable
names, and I *think* (can't really tell for sure)
you want to build a pop-up dialog widget:
