I can`t seem to find help anywhere on this matter... How would you go about creating your own motif resources and setting them
I`m not talking about application resources... or manipulation of the pre-defined motif resources... I`m talking about user-defined motif resources.. is this possible?

How to create your own motif-resources (not the predefined.)
I don`t know what you mean. You can subclass the widgets and add extra resources, if you want.

How to create your own motif-resources (not the predefined.)
I`ve had about a week to do some research so I can ask my question better )
I found out that Motif will silently ignore any requests to XtVaSetValues(...) if the resource name is not properly registered with the widget class.
I`ve actually gotten around my problem by using the XmNlabelString.... but now I have a wierd problem of garbage ending up in my string. Here`s my code snippet
====================
assert(XtIsSubclass(myWidget, xmToggleButtonWidgetClass));
XtVaSetValues(myWidget, XmNlabelString, XmStringCreateLocalized(char *), NULL);
.......
.......
/* The following snippet will print out garbage */
XmString pete;
XtVaGetValues(myWidget, XmNlabelString, &pete, NULL);
printf(XmCvtXmStringToCT(pete));
/*This snippet gets string but there`s garbage characters in front and back */
char g*;
XtVaGetValues(myWidget, XmNlabelString, &g, 0);
=====================
Have any advice? I can`t seem to get a nicely formatted string pulled out of the XmNlabelString... and I`m running out of ideas

You get garbage because XmNlabelString is of type XmString (Motif compound string) not char. You need to do this
XmString xstr;
char *str;
XtVaGetValues(w,
XmNlabelString, &xstr,
NULL);
XmStringGetLtoR(xstr, XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG, &str);

Thanks a bunch guys... I really appreciate all the help. I`m a n00b at the moment though ( maybe soon I`ll be able to answer some questions. I got it working smooth now... just had to change the type I was grabbing from XtVaGetValues.
