Thanks for the response.

Re: Your application should not access those fields directly, but instead
should go through the glue code and let it do it for you.

Right.  Understood and agree wholeheartedly.  The bad news is that there
AREN"T any glue routines for accessing (view or update) the frame type for
buttons.  I'm trying to create a button without a frame.  Actually, it's a
series of user-defined buttons.  The number of buttons is dynamically
defined at runtime.  We (as in, the user) want a smaller button than is
provided by default, and don't want the vertical and horizontal outlines
separating the buttons.  We just want to draw a rectangle around the entire
group of buttons.  For the purpose of this particular UI, it looks a lot
cleaner that way, and takes up less landscape.  It works beautifully, but I
have to set the frametype to "noFrame", as in:   "ctlP->attr.frame =
noButtonFrame;".  Naturally, POSE slaps my wrist.  There was a discussion
several months ago about providing access to all the attributes via "legal"
functions, but it doesn't appear to have made it beyond discussion stage.

Regards,

Terry
