NAME

DXmActivateWidget − Allows the application to simulate push button activation. 

SYNOPSIS

void DXmActivateWidget(
        Widget widget );

A pointer to the widget data structure.

DESCRIPTION

The DXmActivateWidget routine allows an application to generate the same highlighting and callbacks that would occur if the user clicked on a push button.  Using this routine in your application enables you to maintain a consistent user interface. For example, your application could allow a user to choose a function by either pressing a push button or, if the DXmActivateWidget routine has been called, by selecting a menu option that activates the corresponding push button. 

The DXmActivateWidget routine only supports push buttons.
