It is not clear what you are trying to do. Are you trying to center-align
the RowColumn within its parent (i.e., place the RC in the center of the
form),
or are you trying to center-align the children of the RowColumn?

I still do not know what you mean by center-aligning a Row Column
within a Scrolled Window.
A ScrolledWindow can have only one child.
What do you mean when you say that it is not working?

What is not working?

True a scrolledwindow can have only one child ( which in my case is a
row column widget ) and when left attachment and right attachment are
not specified it will by default align it to the left
The leftOffset property is not working within a scrolled window so i've
created a wrapper form above the rowcolumn widget and center aligned
the rowcolumn widget within the form and then placed the form within
the scrolledwindow widget.

Sai Krishna

There is no leftAttachment, rightAttachment, or leftOffset property for
ScrolledWindow.
These are constraint properties on any child of an XmForm.

If you want to place a RowColumn inside a ScrolledWindow, but want
it to be offset from the edge, you can set its XmNx and XmNy values.
Or you can place a Form or BulletinBoard in the scrolled window and
then place the RowColumn at the appropriate place in that.

Thanks for the reply Fred,
I've used a wrapper form within a Scrolled Window and it is working
fine
