My apologies again. I have been up working on a number of different emergencies this week until about 3am each night. This PDF issue is just one problem I am having at the moment and my attention is divided. I'm not trying to rile anyone up. Thank you again for looking at this.
No worries. I completely understand the stress of working many IT coding issues at once and juggling many balls all up in the air at the same time.

I will reopen the original thread and merge this post. into it.

OBTW, I am not "riled" or upset or angry in any way. I am like a "admin robot"... I just insure this site is healthy, running fast and smooth, protect the site from harm, and insure our mission, rules and guidelines are followed.

SOAP BOX COMMENT: Sidebar (not specific to your post):

Sometimes I ask a question or ask for input, to insure that questions are clear, not only for me, but for future generations who visit the site and have similar questions. This site is not a "put a nickel in and get an answer out site", as some would like it to be. Our mission is to teach people to solve their own problems, not to do other's work for them, like the old saying (paraphrasing) which I am sure you have heard before:

"Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach that same person to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime."

In the age of the Internet and social media, people have become too dependant on others to do their problem solving (and thinking) for them. When I created this site decades ago, long before FB, reddit, stack*, medium, and more; our goals were always to have a very high "signal to noise" ratio and to never become a "put a nickel in and get an answer site", to encourage people to describe and solve their own problems with our help.

I will continue to encourage all users in that direction, even if we are the last site on the Internet to be this way. Smilie

NAME
XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder -- A Drag and Drop function that reorders a stack of widgets that are registered drop sites SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/DragDrop.h> void XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder( Widget widget, Widget sibling, Cardinal stack_mode); DESCRIPTION
XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder changes the stacking order of the drop site specified by widget. The stacking order controls the manner in which drag-under effects are clipped by overlapping siblings, regardless of whether they are active. The stack mode is relative either to the entire stack, or to another drop site within the stack. The stack order can be modified only if the drop sites are siblings in both the widget and drop site hierarchy, and the widget parent of the drop sites is registered as a composite drop site. widget Specifies the drop site to be restacked. sibling Specifies a sibling drop site for stacking operations. If specified, then widget is restacked relative to this drop site's stack position. stack_mode Specifies the new stack position for the specified widget. The values are XmABOVE and XmBELOW. If a sibling is specified, then widget is restacked as follows: XmABOVE The widget is placed just above the sibling. XmBELOW The widget is placed just below the sibling. If the sibling parameter is not specified, then widget is restacked as follows: XmABOVE The widget is placed at the top of the stack. XmBELOW The widget is placed at the bottom of the stack. For a complete definition of DropSite and its associated resources, see XmDropSite(3). RELATED
