I've no idea WHY you get the message, but surely
you have been working with computers long enough
not to be surprised by something like this. :-)

Let's just say that people who write operating
system software have a sense of humor and leave
it at that.

I expect you *could* try realizing the button after
you created it:

new = Widget_Button(parent, $
Value='Am I realized?',event_pro='testRealized')
Widget_control, new, /Realize

Let us know.

Cheers,

David
