XmIconButton in a menu, why not?

Submitted by dpeterc on Thu, 04/12/2007 - 16:03.

If I use XmIconButton in a menu, I get the following warning

Name fileM
Class XmRowColumn
Attempt to add wrong child type to a menu (that is, XmRowColumn) widget

Shouldn't XmIconButton be a subclass of XmPushButton and be allowed as a child of RowColumn?
It works, but I hate having my programs spitting out warnings of any kind.
I am using OpenMotif 2.2

‹ single logic screen and window size control Unexpeted behaviour of togglebutton ›

It is fixed in newest openmotif versions.

You can quiet this message by setting XmNisHomogeneous=False for the menu (RowColumn)

Thank you very much for the tip regarding the warning.

Actually, now that XmPushButton can have XmNlabelType XmPIXMAP_AND_STRING, and it works correctly, XmIconButton becomes almost unnecessary.

So I prefer to use XmPushButton in my applications.
