Thank you, John,
I compiled and ran your code. It was not exactly what I needed, but it
gave me the bits and pieces to do what I wanted. I wanted a LED type
panel light above my button. Based on your code, I put an event box
into an unlabeled frame and sized the event box. It is just what I
wanted.
Thank you!

Here's an example solution of what I think you want. Again, it may not
be the best, but it works.
#include <gtkmm.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
Gtk::Window window;
Gtk::EventBox evbox;
Gtk::HBox hbox;
Gtk::Label label ("Test");
Gtk::Button button;
evbox.modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, Gdk::Color("#FF0000"));
evbox.modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_ACTIVE, Gdk::Color("#FF0000"));
evbox.modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_PRELIGHT, Gdk::Color("#FF0000"));
evbox.set_size_request(15);
hbox.pack_start(evbox,false,false,3);
hbox.pack_start(label,false,false,3);
button.add(hbox);
window.add(button);
window.show_all();
Gtk::Main::run(window);
return 0;
}
BTW, always send to the list :-)

Thank you for your reply. All I want is something that looks like a
rectangular LED (like the colored portion of the color selection button.
There is no need for the user to change the color--I only need the color to
indicate the state of my application. I figured that someone else had
already done something like what I am looking for. It must be possible since
it is done in the color selection button.
Thanks!

Could you just pack an EventBox in there and change its background
color? I'm not on my computer so I can't code and test that real
quick, but I think it should work.

My application requires a lighted indicator that changes color: black,
yellow, red, and green. I implemented it with the color selection
button. Is there some way to inhibit the selection box from appearing
when the button is pressed? Or, is there another way to implement a
lighted indicator that I can change its color from my program?
Thanks!
