The push buttons

Moving to the bottom left corner of the window part, we'll set the attachments for the push buttons. This time, we'll attach their bottom and left edges to the window part, leaving the top and right edges unattached to allow room for a change in font size or a change in text due to translation. For Push Button1, these are the settings:

Edge
Attachment

Top
Attachment type: XmATTACHNONE

Bottom
Attachment type: XmATTACHFORM

Offset: 10

Left
Attachment type: XmATTACHFORM

Offset: 10

Right
Attachment type: XmATTACHNONE

Notice that you cannot set the top edge to XmATTACHNONE until you have changed the value for the bottom edge.

Attach Push Button2 so that it is positioned as follows:

Edge
Attachment

Top
Attachment type: XmATTACHNONE

Bottom
Attachment type: XmATTACHOPPOSITEWIDGET

Offset: 0

Attached parts: Push Button1

Left
Attachment type: XmATTACHWIDGET

Offset: 20

Attached parts: Push Button1

Right
Attachment type: XmATTACHNONE

Notice the overall pattern. As you work from the top left in toward the center, you generally leave the bottom and right edges unattached. As you work from the bottom left in toward the center, you generally leave the top and right edges unattached. As parts grow or shrink, space is taken away from or added to the center of the window part.
