    Is there any way to set the OverrideRedirect Window Attribute using
    the DEC toolkit. I want to create a window without a Window Manager
    Title Bar etc.
    
    I have tried
    
    XtSetArg( arg[0], XtCOverrideRedirect, TRUE );
    XtSetValues( toplevel_widget, arg, 1 );
    
    and using XSetWindowAttributes on the window after the widget has
    been realized (I expect this is too late).
    
    Neither seems to work.
    
    Thanks in advance

|     Re .0:
    I believe what you want to use at the top of your widget hierarchy is
    the OverrideShell. Use whatever widgets you want as child of this
    shell.

| >> XtSetArg( arg[0], XtCOverrideRedirect, TRUE ); You might have better luck with XtNoverrideRedirect, which has the correct (lower) case leading character to match the resource (as opposed to the resource class default value, which I don't think can be set by XtSetValues). -steve- | |||||

|     Thanks for all the help - problem solved.
    
    Standard application shell and
    
    XtSetArg( arg[0], DwtNoverrideRedirect, TRUE );
    
    I should read the manual rather than searching .h files
