Also, how would the sub-widget set_value methods get invoked ? The first question is only relevant for the R2 intrinsics. Along with alot of other enhancements, the R3 intrinsics cache the superclass resources in the class resource list. This allows subclass resource defaults to override superclass defaults. In the R2 intrinsics the superclass resources are chained by Xt{Get,Set}Values but not by Xt{Get,Set}Subvalues (this makes sense since sub-parts don't have a class hierarchy). Sorry for any confusion. Gabe Beged-Dov csnet: begeddov@software.org Software Productivity Consortium arpanet: begeddov%software.org@relay.cs.net
