I sympathize completely. To say that the reference manual is "a little
confusing" is very polite.

The best advice I can give you is to try the following:

(1) Check out David Fanning's example programs at
http://www.dfanning.com/documents/programs.html, e.g. PROCESS for good
examples of how to write widget programs.

(2) Get yourself a copy of "Building Graphical User Interfaces in IDL"
also by David Fanning. It's available from
Research Systems, Inc.
2995 Wilderness Place
Boulder, CO 80301
tel: 303-786-9900
fax: 303-786-9909
email: info@rsinc.com
And get a copy of David's soon-to-be-available book as soon as possible.

(3) Take a widget programming course from David.

Cheers,
Liam.
PS David pays me no commission (yet).
