VAXTPU SET(WIDGET) — VMS 5.2

 SET(WIDGET)

 Allows you to assign values to various resources of a widget.

 Syntax

    SET (WIDGET, widget, widget_arguments)

 Parameters

    WIDGET               A keyword directing VAXTPU to set an attribute of
                         a widget.

    widget               The widget instance whose values you want to set.

    widget_arguments     A series of pairs of resource names and resource
                         values.  You can specify a pair as an array or as
                         a pair of separate parameters.  If you use an
                         array, you index the array with a string that is
                         the name of the resource you want to set.  The
                         array element contains the value you want to
                         assign to that resource.  If you use a pair of
                         separate parameters, specify the resource name as
                         a string, then the resource value.  Separate the
                         name from the value with a comma.  Arrays and
                         string/value pairs may be used together.  Each
                         array index and its corresponding element value,
                         or each string and its corresponding value, must
                         be valid widget arguments for the class of widget
                         you are creating.

 Example

    The following statements set the "Nvalue" resource of the current EVE
    window's scroll bar widget to 100.  This causes the scroll bar slider
    to be displayed as far toward the bottom of the scroll bar widget as
    possible.

    scroll_bar_widget := SET (SCROLL_BAR, CURRENT_WINDOW, VERTICAL, ON);
    SET (WIDGET, scroll_bar_widget, eve$dwt$c_Nvalue, 100);
