How do you get the list of items from a list box widget??? I've tried: DwDwtCompString item_list[10]; XtSetArg( arglist[0], DwtNitems, item_list ) XtGetValues( widget, arglist, 1 ); But it gives me back trash!! Shouldn't it just fill in my array with pointers strings???? I've also tried all sorts of char * type variables but nothing works. The items component of a ListBox widgets is DwtCompString *items, and since DwtCompString is just typedefed char *, what is the problem???? John

You don't need to allocate memory for the array, and doing so will mess
things up. Try it like this:
DwtCompString *item_list;
XtSetArg( arglist[0], DwtNitems, &item_list )
XtGetValues( widget, arglist, 1 );
