2291.0. "Shadow problem" by THRILL::NELSON () Fri Feb 16 1990 14:07

I have been having trouble getting a the shadow on a push button.
My understanding is that the shadow attribute is set by default.  It
doesn't make any difference whether I set it or not; I don't get the
shadow.

I looked around to see if there was something overriding the value;
apparently not.

What am I missing? 

Using C, UIL on VMS 5.3.

						Thanks,  Mike

	If it's a child of a menu widget, the menu turns off the shadow. There's no direct way to prevent this.
