One of my customers has the following problem:
He creates a DwAttachedDBCreate widget and wants to get the window
id for use with Xlib routines.
This the procedure sequence he uses: (without all the arguments)
widget_id = DwtAttachedDBCreate
XtManageChild(widget_id)
XFlush(display_id)
window_id = XtWindow(widget_id)
At this time, window_id equals to NULL.
If he uses DwtAttachedDBPopupCreate, it works, but after XtManageChild
the widget is realised on the screen, and he doesn't want to.
He tried to put in the arglist MappedWhenManaged to false, but it
did nothing, the widget is realised.
He wants this window_id to associate a background pixmap with Xlib
routines. For the moment, he cals Xmap to repaint the widget's
window and it's not very beautiful.
Thanks for your help,
Beno�t

The definition of realizing a widget is pretty much "create the widget's windows", so he can't get the window id until it's realized. However, he can accomplish what I think he wants by setting XtNmappedWhenManaged FALSE on the widget, managing and realizing it, then doing whatever he has to do requiring the window id before explicitly mapping it (or setting XtNmappedWhenManaged to FALSE) - the window shouldn't be visible until the last step.

We will try that.
