How do I select a row or column without the text field being visible?
Normally this is required when a matrix is non editable. The text field is mapped as a result of the EditCell action being called which is the default behaviour of the widget. You need to replace the default action with the SelectCell action (see “How can I edit a cell in a fixed column or fixed row”) which does not map the text field. By adding an XmNselectCellCallback you can select a row/column/cell without editing the cell that was clicked. Setting XmNtraversalOn to False will also help, depending on your application.
