1593.0. "Can't establish new resource in subclass of composite" by CSC32::B_WACKER () Wed Oct 18 1989 15:22

A customer has written a composite widget and can't get a subclass of 
it to establish a new resource.  He gets an error saying he can't 
override, but the new resource has nothing to do with the composite's 
resources.

I know this is a pretty vague problem statement, but since we're 
ignorant of widget building out here in support land it's the best I 
can do.

He'd also like to see an example of subclassing off a composite widget 
if anyone has one they could send me.

	Since another note states that building widgets is so fundamental to X proficiency isn't there anyone who can take a stab at this? Bruce (Kind of like ED Services -- only enough time to get cost effective, not really know it!)

	>>Since another note states that building widgets is so fundamental to X >>proficiency isn't there anyone who can take a stab at this? :) Are you trying to rattle my chain? For a simple example of a composite widget, look in DW_EXAMPLES note 148 at the VFrame widget sources. On the other hand, a more directed question is likely to get a more directed answer. I can't guess what they're doing wrong without more information. -steve-
