# Bulletin Board widget

The Bulletin Board is the most basic Manager: a child is 'pinned' onto the bulletin in a specific location until moved. The Bulletin board imposes no layout policy on child widgets.

It may be used for absolute positioning of widgets; it may also be used if complicated positioning is required and C code is going to be written for this purpose.

In Motif, the Bulletin Board widget serves as a basis for widgets such as the Form widget.

In WorkShop Visual, you can use the Layout Editor to specify the X, Y coordinates of any child widgets of a Bulletin Board.

For more information concerning the Bulletin Board widget, see XmBulletinBoard(3X) in the OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference.

HINTS

For more flexible layout, use a Form widget.
