Yup........After a lot of struggle with the issue, finally i'm
successful in getting the image on button. But the solution is of
great surprise to me :|
What i found was the base widget in which i was trying to put the
image button had SCROLL on.
When i unset the scroll then i'm able to see the bitmapped image
button. Yup this seems to be a wierd solution to the problem.
I Would like to know the crux behind this functionality. How can the
scroll position of base widget affect the display of bitmap in button
widget???????????? ( or is this a bug.....?)
I'v IDL 6.3
