but don't forget to put them back into your uvalue when you're done!

I also tend to use procedures to get the Info state:

; Routine to get the Info state
PRO GetState, ID, Info, No_Copy = No_Copy
; -- Get pointer
WIDGET_CONTROL, ID, GET_UVALUE = InfoPtr
IF ( PTR_VALID( InfoPtr ) EQ 0 ) THEN $
MESSAGE, 'State Information pointer is invalid'

; -- Get state information structure
IF ( N_ELEMENTS( *InfoPtr ) EQ 0 ) THEN $
MESSAGE, 'State information structure is undefined'
IF ( KEYWORD_SET( No_Copy ) ) THEN BEGIN
Info = TEMPORARY( *InfoPtr )
ENDIF ELSE BEGIN
Info = *InfoPtr
ENDELSE
IF ( Info.Debug EQ 1 ) THEN PRINT, 'GetState'
END

and to set the info state

; Routine to set the Info state
PRO SetState, ID, Info, No_Copy = No_Copy
; -- Get pointer
WIDGET_CONTROL, ID, GET_UVALUE = InfoPtr
IF ( PTR_VALID( InfoPtr ) EQ 0 ) THEN $
MESSAGE, 'State information pointer is invalid'

; -- Set state information structure
IF ( N_ELEMENTS( Info ) EQ 0 ) THEN $
MESSAGE, 'State information structure is undefined'
IF ( KEYWORD_SET( No_Copy ) ) THEN BEGIN
*InfoPtr = TEMPORARY( Info )
ENDIF ELSE BEGIN
*InfoPtr = Info
ENDELSE
IF ( (*InfoPtr).Debug EQ 1 ) THEN PRINT, 'SetState'
END

My widget event handlers then do something like:

FUNCTION ComponentTest_LogLin_Event, Event
; -- Get main info state
GetState, Event.Top, Info

; -- Print debug statement if required
IF ( Info.Debug EQ 1 ) THEN PRINT, 'ComponentTest_LogLin_Event'
; -- Set the selected variable number index
Info.LogLin_Index = Event.Value

; -- Save info state
SetState, Event.Top, Info

; -- Display the result
ComponentTest_Display, Event.Top
RETURN, 0
END

Note how I call GetState and then SetState. Because I tend not to use /no_copy, it's
really only an issue when I update a component of the info state (like in my example
above). But, if you *do* use /no_copy, then I think you have to call SetState again to
replace the info pointer.

cheers,
