You can't use Widgets -- at least not without more work than you can
contemplate and not tear your hair out.

XForms is an Xlib based package. Widgets rely upon Xt, the X
Toolkit. Several people have tried making XForms work with various
Widget sets and to my knowledge, none have ever succeeded. They
either punted XForms or the Widgets.
