callback resources. These callbacks are invoked when the window for the RowColumn is mapped and unmapped. The
callbacks are similar to those for the BulletinBoard, but since the RowColumn is not designed specifically to be a
child of a DialogShell, the routines are invoked regardless of whether the parent of the RowColumn is a DialogShell.
The XmNentryCallback is the only other callback that is associated specifically with the RowColumn widget.
This callback resource makes it possible to install a single callback function that acts as the activation callback for
each of the children of a RowColumn widget. The routine specified for the XmNentryCallback overrides the
XmNactivateCallback functions for any PushButton or CascadeButton children and the
XmNvalueChangedCallback functions for ToggleButtons. The XmNentryCallback is a convenience to the
