The X Toolkit is made up of two distinct pieces, the Xt Intrinsics and a
widget set.  The Athena widget set is a sample implementation of a
widget set built upon the Intrinsics.  In the X Toolkit, a widget is the
combination of an X window or subwindow and its associated input and
output semantics.
</p><p>
Because the Intrinsics provide the same basic functionality to all widget
sets it may be possible to use widgets from the Athena widget set with
other widget sets based upon the Intrinsics.  Since widget sets may also
implement private protocols, all functionality may not be available when
mixing and matching widget sets.  For information about the Intrinsics, see
the <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.
</p><p>
The Athena widget set is a library package layered on top of the Intrinsics
and Xlib that provides a set of user interface tools sufficient to build
a wide variety of applications.  This layer extends the basic
abstractions provided by X and provides the next layer of functionality
primarily by supplying a cohesive set of sample widgets.  Although the
Intrinsics are a Consortium standard, there is no standard widget set.
</p><p>
To the extent possible, the Intrinsics are "policy-free".  The application
environment and widget set, not the Intrinsics, define, implement, and
enforce:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>Policy</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Consistency</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Style</p></li></ul></div><p>
Each individual widget implementation defines its own policy.  The X Toolkit
design allows for, but does not necessarily encourage, the free mixing
of radically differing widget implementations.
</p><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Introduction_to_the_X_Toolkit"></a>Introduction to the X Toolkit</h2></div></div></div><p>





The X Toolkit provides tools that simplify the design of
application user interfaces in the X Window System programming environment.
It assists application programmers by providing a set of common
underlying user-interface functions.  It also lets widget programmers
modify existing widgets, by subclassing, or add new widgets.  By using
the X Toolkit in their applications, programmers can present a similar
user interface across applications to all workstation users.
</p><p>

The X Toolkit consists of:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
A set of Intrinsics functions for building widgets
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
An architectural model for constructing widgets
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
A widget set for application programming
    </p></li></ul></div><p>

While the majority of the Intrinsics functions are intended
for the widget programmer,
a subset of the Intrinsics functions are to be used by application programmers
(see  <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>).
The architectural model lets the widget programmer design new widgets
by using the Intrinsics and by combining other widgets.
The application interface layers built on top of the X Toolkit include a
coordinated set of widgets and composition policies.
Some of these widgets and policies are specific to a single
application domain, and others are common to a variety of
applications.
</p><p>

The remainder of this chapter discusses the X Toolkit and Athena widget set:

</p><p>

In addition to the terms already defined for X programming (see
<span class="emphasis"><em>Xlib - C Language Interface</em></span>),
the following terms are specific to the Intrinsics and Athena widget set
and used throughout this document.
</p><p>

<code class="function">Application programmer</code>

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
A programmer who uses the X Toolkit to produce an application user interface.

A specific widget object as opposed to a general widget class.
    </p></li></ul></div><p>

<code class="function">Method</code>

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
The name that is specific to an instance of a widget for a given client.

    </p></li></ul></div><p>

<code class="function">Object</code>

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
A data abstraction consisting of private data and private and public
functions that operate on the private data.
Users of the abstraction can interact with the object only through calls
to the object's public functions.
In the X Toolkit,
some of the object's public functions are called directly by the application,
while others are called indirectly when the application calls the common
Intrinsics functions.
In general, if a function is common to all widgets,
an application uses a single Intrinsics function to invoke the function for all
types of widgets.
If a function is unique to a single widget type,
the widget exports the function.
    </p></li></ul></div><p>

<code class="function">Parent</code>

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>

widget).
    </p></li></ul></div><p>

<code class="function">Widget class</code>

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
The general group to which a specific widget belongs,
otherwise known as the type of the widget.
    </p></li></ul></div><p>

The underlying architectural model is based on the following premises:

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Every user-interface widget is associated with an X window.
The X window ID for a widget is readily available from the widget.
Standard Xlib calls can be used by widgets for many of their input and
output operations.


    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
The data for every widget is private to the widget and its subclasses.
That is, the data is neither directly accessible
nor visible outside of the module implementing the widget.
All program interaction with the widget is performed by a set of operations
(methods) that are defined for the widget.


    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Widget semantics are clearly separated from widget layout geometry.
Widgets are concerned with implementing specific user-interface
semantics.  They have little control over issues such as their size or
placement relative to other widget peers.  Mechanisms are provided for
associating geometric managers with widgets and for widgets to make
suggestions about their own geometry.

    </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Conventions_Used_in_this_Manual"></a>Conventions Used in this Manual</h2></div></div></div><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>

All resources available to the widgets are listed with each widget.  Many
of these are available to more than one widget class due to the object
oriented nature of the Intrinsics.  The new resources for each widget are
listed in bold text, and the inherited resources are listed in plain text.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Global symbols are printed in <code class="function">bold</code> and can be function names,
symbols defined in include files, or structure names.  Arguments are
printed in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Each function is introduced by a general discussion that distinguishes
it from other functions.  The function declaration itself follows, and
each argument is specifically explained.  General discussion of the
function, if any is required, follows the arguments.  Where
applicable, the last paragraph of the explanation lists the return values
of the function.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
To eliminate any ambiguity between those arguments that you pass and
those that a function returns to you, the explanations for all
arguments that you pass start with the word <span class="emphasis"><em>specifies</em></span> or, in the
case of multiple arguments, the word <span class="emphasis"><em>specify</em></span>. The explanations
for all arguments that are returned to you start with the word
<span class="emphasis"><em>returns</em></span> or, in the case of multiple arguments, the word
<span class="emphasis"><em>return</em></span>.  The explanations for all arguments that you can pass
and are returned start with the words <span class="emphasis"><em>specifies and returns</em></span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Any pointer to a structure that is used to return a value is
designated as such by the <span class="emphasis"><em>_return</em></span> suffix as part of its name.
All other pointers passed to these functions are used for reading
only.  A few arguments use pointers to structures that are used for
both input and output and are indicated by using the <span class="emphasis"><em>_in_out</em></span>
suffix.

The majority of this document is a reference guide for the Athena
widget set.  Chapters three through six give the programmer all
information necessary to use the widgets.  The layout of the chapters
follows a specific pattern to allow the programmer to easily find the
desired information.
</p><p>

The first few pages of every chapter give an overview of the widgets
in that section.  Widgets are grouped into chapters by functionality.
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      "Chapter 
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Simple Widgets
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">

      "Chapter 
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Composite and Constraint Widget
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

Following the introduction will be a description of each widget in that
chapter.  When no functional grouping is obvious the widgets are listed
in alphabetical order, such as in chapters three and six.
</p><p>

The first section of each widget's description is a table that
contains general information about this widget class.  Here is the
table for the Box widget, and an explanation of all the entries.
</p><pre class="literallayout">



Application Header file	&lt;X11/Xaw/Box.h&gt;
Class Header file	&lt;X11/Xaw/BoxP.h&gt;
Class		boxWidgetClass
Class Name	Box
Superclass	Composite

</pre><p>
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Application Header File</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>

This file must be included when an application uses this widget.
It usually contains the class definition, and some resource macros.
This is often called the ``public'' header file.

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Class Header File</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This file will only be used by widget programmers.  It will need to be
included by any widget that subclasses this widget.  This is often
called the ``private'' header file.

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Class</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This is the widget class of this widget.  This global symbol is passed to
<code class="function">XtCreateWidget</code> so that the Intrinsics will know which type of widget
to create.

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Class Name</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This is the resource name of this class.  This name can be used in
a resource file to match any widget of this class.

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Superclass</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This is the superclass that this widget class is descended from.  If
you understand how the superclass works it will allow you to more quickly
understand what this widget does, since much of its functionality may be
inherited from its superclass.

    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

After this table follows a general description of the default behavior of
this widget, as seen by the user.  In many cases this functionality
may be overridden by the application programmer, or by the user.
</p><p>

The next section is a table showing the
name, class, type and default value of each resource that is available
to this widget.  There is also a column containing notes describing
special restrictions placed upon individual resources.





</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      A
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This resource may be automatically adjusted when another
resource is changed.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      C
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This resource is only settable at widget creation time, and may not
be modified with <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a>.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      D
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Do not modify this resource.  While setting this resource will
work, it can cause unexpected behavior.  When this symbol appears
there is another, preferred, interface provided by the X Toolkit.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      R
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This resource is READ-ONLY, and may not be modified.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

After the resource table is a detailed description of every resource
available to that widget.  Many of these are redundant, but printing
them with each widget saves page flipping.  The names of the resources
that are inherited are printed in plain text, while the names of the
resources that are new to this class are printed in <code class="function">bold</code>.
If you have already read the description of the superclass you need
only pay attention to the resources printed in bold.
</p><p>

For each composite widget there is a section on layout semantics that
follows the resource description.  This section will describe the
effect of constraint resources on the layout of the children, as well
as a general description of where it prefers to place its children.
</p><p>

Descriptions of default translations and action routines come next, for
widgets to which they apply.  The last item in each widget's
documentation is the description of all convenience routines provided by
the widget.
</p></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Input_Focus"></a>Input Focus</h2></div></div></div><p>

The Intrinsics define a resource on all Shell widgets that interact with
the window manager called <code class="function">input</code>.  This resource requests the
assistance of window manager in acquiring the input focus.  The
resource defaults to <code class="function">False</code> in the Intrinsics, but is redefined to
default to <code class="function">True</code> when an application is using the Athena widget
set.  An application programmer may override this default and set the
resource back to <code class="function">False</code> if the application does not need the window
manager to give it the input focus.  See the
<span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span> for details
on the <span class="emphasis"><em>input</em></span> resource.

Widgets serve as the primary tools for building a user interface or
application environment.  The Athena widget set consists of primitive
widgets that contain no children (for example, a command button) and
composite widgets which may contain one or more widget children (for
example, a Box widget).
</p><p>
The remaining chapters explain the widgets that are provided
by the Athena widget set.
These user-interface components serve as an interface for
application programmers who do not want to implement their own widgets.
In addition, they serve as a starting point
for those widget programmers who, using the Intrinsics mechanisms,
want to implement alternative application programming interfaces.
</p><p>
This chapter is a brief introduction to widget programming.  The
examples provided use the Athena widgets, though most of the concepts
will apply to all widget sets.  Although there are several programming
interfaces to the X Toolkit, only one is described here.  A full
description of the programming interface is provided in the document
<span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.
</p><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Setting_the_Locale"></a>Setting the Locale</h3></div></div></div><p>




If it is desirable that the application take advantage of
internationalization (i18n), you must establish locale with
<code class="function">XtSetLanguageProc</code>
before <code class="function">XtDisplayInitialize</code> or <a class="xref" href="#XtAppInitialize"><code class="function"> XtAppInitialize</code></a>
is called.  For full details, please refer to the document
<span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>, section 2.2. However, the following simplest-case
call is sufficient in many or most applications.
</p><p>




</p><pre class="literallayout">


	XtSetLanguageProc(NULL, NULL, NULL);
</pre><p>
</p><p>

Most notably, this will affect the Standard C locale, determine which
resource files will be loaded, and what fonts will be required of FontSet
specifications.  In many cases, the addition of this line is the only source change
required to internationalize Xaw programs, and will not disturb the function
of programs in the default "C" locale.
</p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Initializing_the_Toolkit"></a>Initializing the Toolkit</h3></div></div></div><p>




You must call a toolkit initialization function before invoking any
other toolkit routines (besides locale setting, above).

This function will remove the command line arguments that the toolkit
reads from <span class="emphasis"><em>argc_in_out</em></span>, and <span class="emphasis"><em>argv_in_out</em></span>.  It will then
attempt to open the display.  If the display cannot be opened, an error

the display is opened, all resources are read from the locations
specified by the Intrinsics.  This function returns an ApplicationShell

Creating a widget is a three-step process.  First, the widget instance
is allocated, and various instance-specific attributes are set by
using <code class="function">XtCreateWidget</code>.  Second, the widget's parent is informed
of the new child by using <code class="function">XtManageChild</code>.  Finally, X windows are
created for the parent and all its children by using <a class="xref" href="#XtRealizeWidget"><code class="function"> XtRealizeWidget</code></a>
and specifying the top-most widget. The first two steps can be
combined by using <a class="xref" href="#XtCreateManagedWidget"><code class="function"> XtCreateManagedWidget</code></a>.  In addition,
<a class="xref" href="#XtRealizeWidget"><code class="function"> XtRealizeWidget</code></a> is automatically called when the child becomes
managed if the parent is already realized.
</p><p>

To allocate, initialize, and manage a widget, use

When a widget instance is successfully created, the widget identifier
is returned to the application.  If an error is encountered, the
<code class="function">XtError</code>

Although a widget can have unique arguments that it understands, all
widgets have common arguments that provide some regularity of operation.
The common arguments allow arbitrary widgets to be managed by
higher-level components without regard for the individual widget type.
Widgets will ignore any argument that they do not understand.
</p><p>

The following resources are retrieved from the argument list
or from the resource database by all of the Athena widgets:

</p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Resource_Conversions"></a>Resource Conversions</h3></div></div></div><p>

Most resources in the Athena widget set have a converter registered that
will translate the string in a resource file to the correct internal
representation.  While some are obvious (string to integer, for example),
others need specific mention of the allowable values.  Three general
converters are described here:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Cursor
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Pixel
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Bitmap
    </p></li></ul></div><p>

Many widgets have defined special converters that apply only to that
widget.  When these occur, the documentation section for that widget
will describe the converter.
</p><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Cursor_Conversion"></a>Cursor Conversion</h4></div></div></div><p>

The value for the <code class="function">cursorName</code> resource is specified in the resource
database as a string, and is of the following forms:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
A standard X cursor name from <code class="function">&lt; X11/cursorfont.h &gt;</code>.
The names in <code class="function">cursorfont.h</code> each describe a specific cursor.  The
resource names for these cursors are exactly like the names in this file
except the <code class="function">XC_</code> is not used.  The cursor definition <code class="function">XC_gumby</code>
has a resource name of <code class="function">gumby</code>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Glyphs, as in <span class="emphasis"><em>FONT font-name glyph-index [[ font-name ] glyph-index ]</em></span>.
The first font and glyph specify the cursor source pixmap.
The second font and glyph specify the cursor mask pixmap.
The mask font defaults to the source font,
and the mask glyph index defaults to the source glyph index.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
A relative or absolute file name.
If a relative or absolute file name is specified, that file is used to
create the source pixmap.  Then the string "Mask" is appended to
locate the cursor mask pixmap.  If the "Mask" file does not exist, the
suffix "msk" is tried.  If "msk" fails, no cursor mask will be used.
If the filename does not start with '/' or './' the the bitmap
file path is used (see section 2.4.3). 
    </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Pixel_Conversion"></a>Pixel Conversion</h4></div></div></div><p>






The string-to-pixel converter takes any name that is acceptable to
XParseColor (see <span class="emphasis"><em>Xlib - C Language Interface</em></span>).  In addition this routine understands
the special toolkit symbols `XtDefaultForeground' and
`XtDefaultBackground', described in <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.  In short the acceptable
pixel names are:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Any color name for the rgb.txt file (typically in the directory
/usr/lib/X11 on POSIX systems).
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
A numeric specification of the form #&lt;red&gt;&lt;green&gt;&lt;blue&gt; where these
numeric values are hexadecimal digits (both upper and lower case).
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
The special strings `XtDefaultForeground' and `XtDefaultBackground'
    </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Bitmap_Conversion"></a>Bitmap Conversion</h4></div></div></div><p>

The string-to-bitmap converter attempts to locate a file containing
bitmap data whose name is specified by the input string.  If the file
name is relative (i.e. does not begin with / or ./), the directories to
be searched are specified in the <code class="function">bitmapFilePath</code> resource--class
<code class="function">BitmapFilePath</code>.  This resource specifies a colon (:) separated
list of directories that will be searched for the named bitmap or
cursor glyph (see section 2.4.1).  The <code class="function">bitmapFilePath</code> resource is
global to the application, and may <code class="function">not</code> be specified differently
for each widget that wishes to convert a cursor to bitmap.  In addition
to the directories specified in the <code class="function">bitmapFilePath</code> resource a
default directory is searched.  When using POSIX the default
directory is
<code class="function">/usr/include/X11/bitmaps .</code>
</p></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Realizing_a_Widget"></a>Realizing a Widget</h3></div></div></div><p>





The
<a class="xref" href="#XtRealizeWidget"><code class="function"> XtRealizeWidget</code></a>
function performs two tasks:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Calculates the geometry constraints of all managed descendants
of this widget.  The actual calculation is put off until realize time
for performance reasons.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Creates an X window for the widget and, if it is a composite widget,
realizes each of its managed children.

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XtRealizeWidget"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XtRealizeWidget</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Specifies the widget.
    </p></li></ul></div><p>

</p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Processing_Events"></a>Processing Events</h3></div></div></div><p>






Now that the application has created, managed and realized its
widgets, it is ready to process the events that will be delivered by the
X Server to this client.  A function call that will process the
events is <a class="xref" href="#XtAppMainLoop"><code class="function"> XtAppMainLoop</code></a>.

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XtAppMainLoop"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XtAppMainLoop</strong>(</code>XtAppContext<var class="pdparam"> app_context</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

      <span class="emphasis"><em>app_context</em></span>

normally returned by <a class="xref" href="#XtAppInitialize"><code class="function"> XtAppInitialize</code></a>.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

This function never returns: it is an infinite loop that processes the
X events.  User input can be handled through callback procedures and
application defined action routines.  More details are provided in
<span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.
</p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Standard_Widget_Manipulation_Functions"></a>Standard Widget Manipulation Functions</h3></div></div></div><p>

After a widget has been created, a client can interact with that
widget by calling one of the standard widget manipulation routines
provided by the Intrinsics, or a widget class-specific manipulation routine.
</p><p>

The Intrinsics provide generic routines to give the application programmer
access to a set of standard widget functions.  The common widget
routines let an application or composite widget perform the following
operations on widgets without requiring explicit knowledge of the widget
type.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Control the mapping of widget windows

By default,
widget windows are mapped (made viewable) automatically by
<a class="xref" href="#XtRealizeWidget"><code class="function"> XtRealizeWidget</code></a>.  This behavior can be disabled by using
<a class="xref" href="#XtSetMappedWhenManaged"><code class="function"> XtSetMappedWhenManaged</code></a>, making the client responsible for calling
<a class="xref" href="#XtMapWidget"><code class="function"> XtMapWidget</code></a> to make the widget viewable.



</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XtSetMappedWhenManaged"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XtSetMappedWhenManaged</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var>, Boolean<var class="pdparam"> map_when_managed</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

The definition for
<a class="xref" href="#XtMapWidget"><code class="function"> XtMapWidget</code></a>

</p><p>

When you are creating several children in sequence for a previously
realized common parent it is generally more efficient to construct a
list of children as they are created (using <code class="function">XtCreateWidget</code>) and
then use <a class="xref" href="#XtManageChildren"><code class="function"> XtManageChildren</code></a> to request that their parent managed
them all at once.  By managing a list of children at one time, the
parent can avoid wasteful duplication of geometry processing and the
associated ``screen flash''.

If the parent is already visible on the screen, it is especially
important to batch updates so that the minimum amount of visible window
reconfiguration is performed.

The arguments and values that are passed will depend on the widget
being modified.  Some widgets may not allow certain resources to be
modified after the widget instance has been created or realized.
No notification is given if any part of a <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a> request is
ignored.
</p><p>

For further information about these functions, see the <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.



The argument list entry for
<a class="xref" href="#XtGetValues"><code class="function"> XtGetValues</code></a>
specifies the address to which the caller wants the value copied.  The
argument list entry for
<code class="function">XtSetValues ,</code>
however, contains the new value itself, if the size of value is less than
sizeof(XtArgVal) (architecture dependent, but at least sizeof(long));
otherwise, it is a pointer to the value.  String resources are always
passed as pointers, regardless of the length of the string.

Widgets can communicate changes in their state to their clients
by means of a callback facility.
The format for a client's callback handler is:

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="CallbackProc"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> CallbackProc</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var>, XtPointer<var class="pdparam"> client_data</var>, XtPointer<var class="pdparam"> call_data</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <span class="emphasis"><em>w</em></span>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies widget for which the callback is registered.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <span class="emphasis"><em>client_data</em></span>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies arbitrary client-supplied data that the widget should pass
back to the client when the widget executes the client's callback
procedure.  This is a way for the client registering the callback to
also register client-specific data: a pointer to additional information
about the widget, a reason for invoking the callback, and so on. If no
additional information is necessary, NULL may be passed as this argument.
This field is also frequently known as the <span class="emphasis"><em>closure</em></span>.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <span class="emphasis"><em>call_data</em></span>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies any callback-specific data the widget wants to pass to the client.
For example, when Scrollbar executes its <code class="function">jumpProc</code> callback list,
it passes the current position of the thumb in <span class="emphasis"><em>call_data</em></span>.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

Callbacks can be registered either by creating an argument containing
the callback list described below or by using the special convenience
routines <a class="xref" href="#XtAddCallback"><code class="function"> XtAddCallback</code></a> and <code class="function">XtAddCallbacks</code>.  When the widget
is created, a pointer to a list of callback procedure and data pairs can
be passed in the argument list to
<code class="function">XtCreateWidget .</code>
The list is of type
<code class="function">XtCallbackList :</code>





</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


typedef struct {
	XtCallbackProc callback;
	XtPointer closure;
} XtCallbackRec, *XtCallbackList;
</pre><p>
</p><p>

The callback list must be allocated and initialized before calling
<code class="function">XtCreateWidget .</code>

The end of the list is identified by an entry containing NULL in
callback and closure.  Once the widget is created, the client can change
or de-allocate this list; the widget itself makes no further reference
to it.  The closure field contains the client_data passed to the
callback when the callback list is executed.
</p><p>

The second method for registering callbacks is to use
<a class="xref" href="#XtAddCallback"><code class="function"> XtAddCallback</code></a>
after the widget has been created.

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XtAddCallback"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XtAddCallback</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var>, String<var class="pdparam"> callback_name</var>, XtCallbackProc<var class="pdparam"> callback</var>, XtPointer<var class="pdparam"> client_data</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

      <span class="emphasis"><em>callback_name</em></span>

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <span class="emphasis"><em>callback</em></span>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies the callback procedure to add.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <span class="emphasis"><em>client_data</em></span>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies the data to be passed to the callback when it is invoked.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

<a class="xref" href="#XtAddCallback"><code class="function"> XtAddCallback</code></a>
adds the specified callback to the list for the named widget.
</p><p>

All widgets provide a callback list named
<code class="function">destroyCallback</code>

where clients can register procedures that are to be executed when the
widget is destroyed.  The destroy callbacks are executed when the widget
or an ancestor is destroyed.  The <span class="emphasis"><em>call_data</em></span> argument is unused for
destroy callbacks.

This section provides some guidelines on how to set up an application
program that uses the X Toolkit.
</p><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Writing_Applications"></a>Writing Applications</h4></div></div></div><p>




When writing an application that uses the X Toolkit,
you should make sure that your application performs the following:
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
Include
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Intrinsic.h &gt;</code>
in your application programs.
This header file automatically includes
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xlib.h &gt;,</code>
so all Xlib functions also are defined.
It may also be necessary to include <code class="function">&lt; X11/StringDefs.h &gt;</code> when setting
up argument lists, as many of the XtN<span class="emphasis"><em>something</em></span> definitions are
only defined in this file.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Include the widget-specific header files for each widget type
that you need to use.
For example,
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xaw/Label.h &gt;</code>
and
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xaw/Command.h &gt;.</code>
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Call the
<a class="xref" href="#XtAppInitialize"><code class="function"> XtAppInitialize</code></a>

function before invoking any other toolkit or Xlib functions.
For further information,
see Section 2.1 and the <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
To pass attributes to the widget creation routines that will override
any site or user customizations, set up argument lists.  In this
document, a list of valid argument names is provided in the discussion
of each widget.  The names each have a global symbol defined that begins
with <code class="function">XtN</code> to help catch spelling errors.  For example,
<code class="function">XtNlabel</code> is defined for the <code class="function">label</code> resource of many widgets.

    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
For further information, see Section 2.9.2.2.  
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
When the argument list is set up, create the widget with the

If the widget has any callback routines, set by the

The Intrinsics support two methods of changing the default resource
values; the resource manager, and an argument list passed into
XtCreateWidget.  While resources values will get updated no matter
which method you use, the two methods provide slightly different
functionality.
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">Resource Manager</span></p></td><td><p>
This method picks up resource definitions described in <span class="emphasis"><em>Xlib - C Language Interface</em></span> from
many different locations at run time.  The locations most important to
the application programmer are the <span class="emphasis"><em>fallback resources</em></span> and the
<span class="emphasis"><em>app-defaults</em></span> file, (see <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span> for the complete list).
Since these resource are loaded at run time, they can be overridden by
the user, allowing an application to be customized to fit the
particular needs of each individual user.  These values can also be
modified without the need to rebuild the application, allowing rapid
prototyping of user interfaces.  Application programmers should use
resources in preference to hard-coded values whenever possible.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">Argument Lists</span></p></td><td><p>
The values passed into the widget at creation time via an argument list
cannot be modified by the user, and allow no opportunity for
customization.  It is used to set resources that cannot be specified as
strings (e.g. callback lists) or resources that should not be
overridden (e.g. window depth) by the user.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><div class="sect4"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a id="Specifying_Resources"></a>Specifying Resources</h5></div></div></div><p>

It is important for all X Toolkit application programmers to
understand how to use the X Resource Manager to specify resources for
widgets in an X application.  This section will describe the most common
methods used to specify these resources, and how to use the X Resource
manager.

</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Xrdb</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
The <code class="function">xrdb</code> utility may be used to load a file containing
resources into the X server.   Once the resources are loaded, the
resources will affect any new applications started on the display that
they were loaded onto.



      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">Application Defaults</span></p></td><td><p>
The application defaults (app-defaults) file (normally in
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/<span class="emphasis"><em>classname</em></span>) for an application is loaded
whenever the application is started.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

The resource specification has two colon-separated parts, a name, and
a value.  The <span class="emphasis"><em>value</em></span> is a string whose format is dependent on the
resource specified by <span class="emphasis"><em>name</em></span>.  <span class="emphasis"><em>Name</em></span> is constructed by
appending a resource name to a full widget name.
</p><p>

The full widget name is a list of the name of every ancestor of the
desired widget separated by periods (.).  Each widget also has a class
associated with it.  A class is a type of widget (e.g. Label or
Scrollbar or Box).  Notice that class names, by convention, begin with
capital letters and instance names begin with lower case letters.  The
class of any widget may be used in place of its name in a resource
specification.  Here are a few examples:
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      xman.form.button1
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This is a fully specified resource name, and will affect only widgets
called button1 that are children of widgets called form that are
children of
applications named xman.  (Note that while typically two widgets that
are siblings will have different names, it is not prohibited.)

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      Xman.Form.Command
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This will match any Command widget that is a child of a Form widget
that is itself a child of an application of class <span class="emphasis"><em>Xman</em></span>.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      Xman.Form.button1
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This is a mixed resource name with both widget names and classes specified.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

This syntax allows an application programmer to specify any widget
in the widget tree.  To match more than one widget (for example a user
may want to make all Command buttons blue), use an asterisk (*)
instead of a period.  When an asterisk is used, any number of widgets
(including zero) may exist between the two widget names. For example:
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      Xman*Command
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This matches all Command widgets in the Xman application.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      Foo*button1
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This matches any widget in the Foo application that is named <span class="emphasis"><em>button1</em></span>.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

The root of all application widget trees is the widget returned by
<a class="xref" href="#XtAppInitialize"><code class="function"> XtAppInitialize</code></a>.  Even though this is actually an
ApplicationShell widget, the toolkit replaces its widget class with the
class name of the application.  The name of this widget is either
the name used to invoke the application (<code class="function">argv[0]</code>) or the name of
the application specified using the standard <span class="emphasis"><em>-name</em></span> command line
option supported by the Intrinsics.
</p><p>

The last step in constructing the resource name is to append the name of
the resource with either a period or asterisk to the full or partial
widget name already constructed.
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      *foreground:Blue
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies that all widgets in all applications will have a foreground
color of blue.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      Xman*borderWidth:10
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies that all widgets in an application whose class is Xman will
have a border width of 10 (pixels).
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      xman.form.button1.label:Testing
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies that a particular widget in the xman application will have a
label named <span class="emphasis"><em>Testing</em></span>.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

An exclamation point (!) in the first column of a line indicates
that the rest of the line should be treated as a comment.
</p><p>

<code class="function">Final Words</code>
</p><p>

The Resource manager is a powerful tool that can be used very
effectively to customize X Toolkit applications at run time by either the
application programmer or the user.  Some final points to note:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
An application programmer may add new resources to their
application.  These resources are associated with the global
application, and not any particular widget.  The X Toolkit function used for
adding the application resources is <code class="function">XtGetApplicationResources</code>.

    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Be careful when creating resource files.  Since widgets will
ignore resources that they do not understand, any spelling
errors will cause a resource to have no effect.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Only one resource line will match any given resource.  There is a set
of precedence rules, which take the following general stance.

    </p></li><li class="listitem"><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: circle; "><li class="listitem"><p>
More specific overrides less specific, thus period always overrides asterisk.
        </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Names on the left are more specific and override names on the right.
        </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
When resource specifications are exactly the same, user defaults
will override program defaults.
        </p></li></ul></div></li></ul></div><p>

For a complete explanation of the rules of precedence, and
other specific topics see <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>Xlib - C Language Interface</em></span>.
</p></div><div class="sect4"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a id="Creating_Argument_Lists"></a>Creating Argument Lists</h5></div></div></div><p>

To set up an argument list for the inline specification of widget attributes,
you may use any of the four approaches discussed in this section.
Each resource name has a global symbol associated with it.  This
global symbol has the form XtN<span class="emphasis"><em>resource name</em></span>.  For example, the
symbol for ``foreground'' is <code class="function">XtNforeground</code>. For further information,
see the <span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.
</p><p>

Argument are specified by using the following structure:


</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


typedef struct {
	String name;
	XtArgVal value;
} Arg, *ArgList;
</pre><p>
</p><p>

The first approach is to statically initialize the argument list.
For example:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


static Arg arglist[] = {
	{XtNwidth, (XtArgVal) 400},
	{XtNheight, (XtArgVal) 300},
};
</pre><p>
</p><p>

This approach is convenient for lists that do not need to be computed
at runtime and makes adding or deleting new elements easy.
The

<code class="function">XtNumber</code>
macro is used to compute the number of elements in the argument list,
preventing simple programming errors:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">
XtCreateWidget(<span class="emphasis"><em>name</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>class</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>parent</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>arglist</em></span>, XtNumber(<span class="emphasis"><em>arglist</em></span>));
</pre><p>

</p><p>

The second approach is to use the
<code class="function">XtSetArg</code>
macro.
For example:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


Arg arglist[10];
XtSetArg(arglist[1], XtNwidth, 400);
XtSetArg(arglist[2], XtNheight, 300);
</pre><p>
</p><p>

To make it easier to insert and delete entries,
you also can use a variable index:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


Arg arglist[10];
Cardinal i=0;
XtSetArg(arglist[i], XtNwidth,  400);       i++;
XtSetArg(arglist[i], XtNheight, 300);       i++;
</pre><p>
</p><p>

The i variable can then be used as the argument list count in the widget
create function.
In this example,

<code class="function">XtNumber</code>
would return 10, not 2, and therefore is not useful.

You should not use auto-increment or auto-decrement
within the first argument to
<code class="function">XtSetArg .</code>
As it is currently implemented,
<code class="function">XtSetArg</code>
is a macro that dereferences the first argument twice.

</p><p>

The third approach is to individually set the elements of the
argument list array:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


Arg arglist[10];
arglist[0].name  = XtNwidth;
arglist[0].value = (XtArgVal) 400;
arglist[1].name  = XtNheight;
arglist[1].value = (XtArgVal) 300;
</pre><p>
</p><p>

Note that in this example, as in the previous example,

<code class="function">XtNumber</code>
would return 10, not 2, and therefore would not be useful.
</p><p>

The fourth approach is to use a mixture of the first and third approaches:
you can statically define the argument list but modify some entries at runtime.
For example:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


static Arg arglist[] = {
	{XtNwidth, (XtArgVal) 400},
	{XtNheight, (XtArgVal) NULL},
};
arglist[1].value = (XtArgVal) 300;
</pre><p>
</p><p>

In this example,

<code class="function">XtNumber</code>
can be used, as in the first approach, for easier code maintenance.

The Command widget is an area, often rectangular, that contains text
or a graphical image. Command widgets are often referred to as
``push buttons.''  When the pointer is over a Command widget, the
widget becomes highlighted by drawing a rectangle around its perimeter.
This highlighting indicates that the widget is ready for selection.
When mouse button 1 is pressed, the Command widget indicates that
it has been selected by reversing its foreground and background colors.
When the mouse button is released, the Command widget's <code class="function">notify</code>
action is invoked, calling all functions on its callback list.  If
the pointer is moved off of the widget before the pointer button is
released, the widget reverts to its normal foreground and background
colors, and releasing the pointer button has no effect.  This behavior
allows the user to cancel an action.

The Command widget supports the following actions:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Switching the button's interior between the foreground and background
colors with <code class="function">set</code>, <code class="function">unset</code>, and <code class="function">reset</code>.

Switching the internal border between highlighted
and unhighlighted states with <code class="function">highlight</code> and <code class="function">unhighlight</code>
    </p></li></ul></div><p>


The following are the default translation bindings used by the
Command widget:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


	&lt;EnterWindow&gt;:	highlight(\|)
	&lt;LeaveWindow&gt;:	reset(\|)
	&lt;Btn1Down&gt;:	set(\|)
	&lt;Btn1Up&gt;:	notify(\|) unset(\|)
</pre><p>
</p><p>

The full list of actions supported by Command is:
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">

or <code class="function">background</code> ) that contrasts with the interior color of the
Command widget.  The conditions <code class="function">WhenUnset</code> and <code class="function">Always</code> are
understood by this action procedure.  If no argument is passed,
<code class="function">WhenUnset</code> is assumed.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">unhighlight</code>(\|)

Command widget.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">set</code>(\|)
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Enters the <code class="function">set</code> state, in which <code class="function">notify</code> is possible.  This

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">

When the button is in the <code class="function">set</code> state this action calls all functions in
the callback list named by the <code class="function">callback</code> resource.  The value of
the <span class="emphasis"><em>call_data</em></span> argument passed to these functions is undefined.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

A very common alternative to registering callbacks is to augment a
Command's translations with an action performing the desired
function.  This often takes the form of:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


*Myapp*save.translations: #augment &lt;Btn1Down&gt;,&lt;Btn1Up&gt;: Save()
</pre><p>
</p><p>


When a bitmap of depth greater that one (1) is specified the
<span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>(), <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>(), and <span class="emphasis"><em>reset</em></span>() actions have no effect,
since there are no foreground and background colors used in a
multi-plane pixmap.

The Grip widget provides a small rectangular region in which user input
events (such as ButtonPress or ButtonRelease) may be handled.  The most
common use for the Grip widget is as an attachment point for visually
repositioning an object, such as the pane border in a Paned widget.

The Grip widget does not declare any default event translation bindings,
but it does declare a single action routine named <code class="function">GripAction</code>.  The

client specifies an arbitrary event translation table, optionally giving
parameters to the <code class="function">GripAction</code> routine.
</p><p>

The <code class="function">GripAction</code> routine executes the callbacks on the
<code class="function">callback</code> list, passing as <code class="function">call_data</code> a pointer to a
<code class="function">XawGripCallData</code> structure, defined in the Grip widget's application
header file.
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">





typedef struct _XawGripCallData {
	XEvent *event;
	String *params;
	Cardinal num_params;
} XawGripCallDataRec, *XawGripCallData,
  GripCallDataRec, *GripCallData; /* supported for R4 compatibility */




</pre><p>
</p><p>

In this structure, the <span class="emphasis"><em>event</em></span> is a pointer to the input event that
triggered the action.  <span class="emphasis"><em>params</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>num_params</em></span> give the string
parameters specified in the translation table for the particular event
binding.

</p><p>

The following is an example of a translation table that uses the GripAction:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">



	&lt;Btn1Down&gt;:	GripAction(press)
	&lt;Btn1Motion&gt;:	GripAction(move)
	&lt;Btn1Up&gt;:	GripAction(release)

</pre><p>

<span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>.

A Label widget holds a graphic displayed within a
rectangular region of the screen.  The graphic may be a
text string containing multiple lines of characters in an
8 bit or 16 bit character set (to be displayed with a
<span class="emphasis"><em>font</em></span>), or in a multi-byte encoding (for use with a
<span class="emphasis"><em>fontset</em></span>).  The graphic may also be a bitmap or
pixmap.  The Label widget will allow its graphic to be
left, right, or center justified.  Normally, this widget
can be neither selected nor directly edited by the user.
It is intended for use as an output device only.

Many programmers create a ``scrolled list'' by putting a List
widget with many entries as a child of a Viewport widget.  The
List continues to create a window as big as its contents, but
that big window is only visible where it intersects the parent
Viewport's window.  (I.e., it is ``clipped.'')
</p><p>

While this is a useful technique, there is a serious drawback.
X does not support windows above 32,767 pixels in width or
height, but this height limit will be exceeded by a List's
window when the List has many entries (i.e., with a 12 point
font, about 3000 entries would be too many.)

A Panner widget is a rectangle, called the
``canvas,'' on which another rectangle, the ``slider,'' moves in two
dimensions.  It is often used with a Porthole widget to move, or
``scroll,'' a third widget in two dimensions, in which case the
slider's size and position gives feedback as to what portion of
the third widget is visible.
</p><p>

The slider may be scrolled around the canvas by pressing,
dragging, and releasing Button1; the default translation also
enables scrolling via arrow keys and some other keys.  While
scrolling is in progress, the application receives notification
through callback procedures.  Notification may be done either
continuously whenever the slider moves or discretely whenever the
slider has been given a new location.

	&lt;LeaveWindow&gt;:	unhighlight(\|)
	&lt;Btn1Down&gt;:	set(\|) start(\|)

Class                       scrollbarWidgetClass

</pre><p>
A Scrollbar widget is a rectangle, called the ``canvas,'' on
which another rectangle, the ``thumb,'' moves in one
dimension, either vertically or horizontally.  A Scrollbar
can be used alone, as a value generator, or it can be used
within a composite widget (for example, a Viewport).  When a
Scrollbar is used to move, or ``scroll,'' the contents of
another widget, the size and the position of the thumb usually give
feedback as to what portion of the other widget's contents
are visible.
</p><p>
Each pointer button invokes a specific action.  Pointer
buttons 1 and 3 do not move the thumb automatically.
Instead, they return the pixel position of the cursor on the
scroll region.  When pointer button 2 is clicked, the thumb
moves to the current pointer position.  When pointer button
2 is held down and the pointer is moved, the thumb follows
the pointer.
</p><p>
The pointer cursor in the scroll region changes depending on the current
action.  When no pointer button is pressed, the cursor appears as a
double-headed arrow that points in the direction that scrolling can
occur.  When pointer button 1 or 3 is pressed, the cursor appears as a
single-headed arrow that points in the logical direction that the thumb
will move.  When pointer button 2 is pressed, the cursor
appears as an arrow that points to the top or the left of the thumb.
</p><p>
When the user scrolls, the application receives notification
through callback procedures.  For both discrete scrolling actions, the
callback returns the Scrollbar widget, the client_data, and the pixel
position of the pointer when the button was released.  For continuous
scrolling, the callback routine returns the scroll bar widget, the
client data, and the current relative position of the thumb.  When the
thumb is moved using pointer button 2, the callback procedure is invoked
continuously.  When either button 1 or 3 is pressed, the callback
procedure is invoked only when the button is released and the client
callback procedure is responsible for moving the thumb.

There are two callback lists provided by the Scrollbar widget.
The procedural interface for these functions is described here.

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="ScrollProc"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> ScrollProc</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> scrollbar</var>, XtPointer<var class="pdparam"> client_data</var>, XtPointer<var class="pdparam"> position</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">

      <span class="emphasis"><em>position</em></span>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies a pixel position in integer form.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
The <code class="function">scrollProc</code> callback is used for incremental scrolling
and is called by the <code class="function">NotifyScroll</code> action.
The position argument is a signed quantity and should be cast to an int
when used. Using the default button bindings, button 1 returns a
positive value, and button 3 returns a negative value. In both cases,
the magnitude of the value is the distance of the pointer in
pixels from the top (or left) of the Scrollbar. The value will never
be greater than the length of the Scrollbar.
</p><p>
The calling interface to the <code class="function">jumpProc</code> callback procedure is:
</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="JumpProc"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> JumpProc</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> scrollbar</var>, XtPointer<var class="pdparam"> client_data</var>, XtPointer<var class="pdparam"> percent_ptr</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">

Specifies the floating point position of the thumb (0.0 \- 1.0).
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
The <code class="function">jumpProc</code> callback is used to implement smooth scrolling and
is called by the <code class="function">NotifyThumb</code> action.  Percent_ptr must be cast
to a pointer to float before use; i.e.
</p><pre class="literallayout">
     float percent = *(float*)percent_ptr;
</pre><p>
With the default button bindings, button 2 moves the thumb interactively,
and the <code class="function">jumpProc</code> is called on each new position of the pointer,
while the pointer button remains down.  The value specified by
<span class="emphasis"><em>percent_ptr</em></span> is the current location of the thumb (from the top or
left of the Scrollbar) expressed as a percentage of the length of the
Scrollbar.

The <code class="function">shown</code> and <code class="function">topOfThumb</code> resources are of type
<span class="emphasis"><em>float</em></span>.  These resources can be difficult to get into an
argument list.  The reason is that C performs an automatic cast of
the float value to an integer value, usually truncating the important
information.  The following code fragment is one portable method of
getting a float into an argument list.

The Toggle widget is an area, often rectangular,
that displays a graphic.  The graphic may be a text
string containing multiple lines of characters in an 8
bit or 16 bit character set (to be displayed with a
<span class="emphasis"><em>font</em></span>), or in a multi-byte encoding (for use with
a <span class="emphasis"><em>fontset</em></span>).  The graphic may also be a bitmap or
pixmap.
</p><p>
This widget maintains a Boolean state (e.g.
True/False or On/Off) and changes state whenever it is selected.  When
the pointer is on the Toggle widget, the Toggle widget may become highlighted by
drawing a rectangle around its perimeter.  This highlighting indicates
that the Toggle widget is ready for selection.  When pointer button 1 is
pressed and released, the Toggle widget indicates that it has changed
state by reversing its foreground and background colors, and its
<code class="function">notify</code> action is invoked, calling all functions on its callback
list.  If the pointer is moved off of the widget before the pointer button is
released, the Toggle widget reverts to its previous foreground and background
colors, and releasing the pointer button has no effect.  This behavior allows
the user to cancel the operation.
</p><p>
Toggle widgets may also be part of a ``radio group.''  A radio group is a
list of at least two Toggle widgets in which no more than one Toggle may
be set at
any time.  A radio group is identified by the widget ID of any one of
its members.  The convenience routine <a class="xref" href="#XawToggleGetCurrent"><code class="function"> XawToggleGetCurrent</code></a> will
return information about the Toggle widget in the radio group.
</p><p>
Toggle widget state is preserved across changes in sensitivity.

There are typically two types of radio groups desired by applications.
The default translations for the Toggle widget implement a "zero or one

of many" radio group.  This means that there may be no more than one
Toggle widget active, but there need not be any Toggle widgets active.
</p><p>
The other type of radio group is "one of many" and has the more strict
policy that there will always be exactly one radio button active.
Toggle widgets can be used to provide this interface with a slight
modification to the translation table of each Toggle in the group.
</p><pre class="literallayout">
     &lt;EnterWindow&gt;:     highlight(Always)
     &lt;LeaveWindow&gt;:     unhighlight()

</pre><p>
This translation table will not allow any Toggle to be <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>
except as a result of another Toggle becoming <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>.  It is
the application programmer's responsibility to choose an initial
state for the radio group by setting the <code class="function">state</code> resource of one of
its member widgets to <code class="function">True</code>.

The Athena widget set provides support for single paned non-hierarchical
popup and pulldown menus.  Since menus are such a common user interface
tool, support for them must be provided in even the most basic widget
sets.  In menuing as in other areas, the Athena Widget Set provides only
basic functionality.
</p><p>
Menus in the Athena widget set are implemented as a menu container (the
SimpleMenu widget) and a collection of objects that comprise the
menu entries.  The SimpleMenu widget is itself a direct subclass of the
OverrideShell widget class, so no other shell is necessary when
creating a menu.  The managed children of a SimpleMenu must be
subclasses of the Sme (Simple Menu Entry) object.
</p><p>
The Athena widget set provides three classes of Sme objects that may be
used to build menus.
</p><p>
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">Sme</span></p></td><td><p>
The base class of all menu entries.  It may be used as a menu entry
itself to provide blank space in a menu.  "Sme" means "Simple Menu
Entry."
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">SmeBSB</span></p></td><td><p>
This menu entry provides a selectable entry containing a text string.
A bitmap may also be placed in the left and right margins.  "BSB" means
"Bitmap String Bitmap."
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">SmeLine</span></p></td><td><p>
This menu entry provides an unselectable entry containing a separator line.
      </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>
The SimpleMenu widget informs the window manager that it should ignore
its window by setting the <code class="function">Override Redirect</code> flag.  This is the
correct behavior for the press-drag-release style of menu operation.  If
click-move-click or "pinable" menus are desired it is the
responsibility of the application programmer, using the SimpleMenu
resources, to inform the window manager of the menu.
</p><p>
To allow easy creation of pulldown menus, a MenuButton widget is
also provided as part of the Athena widget set.
</p><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Using_the_Menus"></a>Using the Menus</h2></div></div></div><p>

The default configuration for the menus is press-drag-release.
The menus will typically be
activated by clicking a pointer button while the pointer is over a
MenuButton, causing the menu to appear in a fixed location relative to
that button; this is a <code class="function">pulldown</code> menu.  Menus may also be activated

when a specific pointer and/or key sequence is used anywhere in the
application; this is a <code class="function">popup</code> menu (e.g. clicking Ctrl-&lt;pointer

button 1&gt; in the common application <code class="function">xterm</code>).  In this
case the menu should be positioned under
the cursor. Typically menus will be placed so the pointer cursor is on
the first menu entry, or the last entry selected by the user.
</p><p>

The menu remains on the screen as long as the pointer button is held
down.  Moving the pointer will highlight different menu items.
If the pointer leaves the menu, or moves over an entry that cannot
be selected then no menu entry will highlighted.  When the desired menu
entry has been highlighted, releasing the pointer button removes the menu,
and causes any mechanism associated with this entry to be invoked.

To Create a new Sme object <span class="emphasis"><em>class</em></span> you will need to define three class methods.
These methods allow the SimpleMenu to highlight and unhighlight the
menu entry as the pointer cursor moves over it, as well as notify the
entry when the user has selected it.  All of
these methods may be inherited from the Sme object, although the default
semantics are not very interesting.
</p><p>
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Highlight</code>(\|)

Called to put the menu entry into the highlighted state.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Unhighlight</code>(\|)
    </span></p></td><td><p>

Called to return the widget to its normal (unhighlighted) state.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Notify</code>(\|)
    </span></p></td><td><p>

Called when the user selects this menu entry.
      </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>


Other then these methods, creating a new object
is straight forward.  Here is some information that may help you
avoid some common mistakes.
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>Objects can be zero pixels high.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Objects draw on their parent's window, therefore the Drawing dimensions
are different from those of widgets.  For instance, y locations vary
from <code class="function">y</code> to <code class="function">y + height</code>, not <code class="function">0</code> to <code class="function">height</code>.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>

XtSetValues calls may come from the application while the Sme is highlighted,
and if the SetValues method returns True, will result in an expose event.
The SimpleMenu may later call the menu entry's <code class="function">unhighlight</code>
procedure.  However, due to the asynchronous nature of
X, the expose event generated by <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a> will come <span class="emphasis"><em>after</em></span>
this unhighlight.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Remember that your subclass of the Sme does not own the
window.  Share the space with other menu entries, and refrain
from drawing outside the subclass's own section of the menu.

The Text widget provides a window that will allow an application
to display and edit one or more lines of text.  Options are provided to
allow the user to add Scrollbars to its window, search for a specific
string, and modify the text in the buffer.
</p><p>
The Text widget is made up of a number of pieces; it was modularized to
ease customization.  The AsciiText widget class (actually not limited to
ASCII but so named for compatibility) is be general enough to most
needs.  If more flexibility, special features, or extra functionality is
needed, they can be added by implementing a new TextSource or TextSink, or
by subclassing the Text Widget (See Section 5.8 for customization
details.) 
</p><p>
The words <span class="emphasis"><em>insertion point</em></span> are used in this chapter to refer to the text
caret.  This is the symbol that is displayed between two characters in
the file.  The insertion point marks the location where any new characters
will be added to the file.  To avoid confusion the pointer cursor will
always be referred to as the <span class="emphasis"><em>pointer</em></span>.
</p><p>
The text widget supports three edit modes, controlling the types of
modifications a user is allowed to make:
</p><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>Append-only</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Editable</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Read-only</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
Read-only mode does not allow the user or the programmer to modify the text
in the widget.  While the entire string may be reset in
read-only mode with <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a>, it cannot be modified via
with <a class="xref" href="#XawTextReplace"><code class="function"> XawTextReplace</code></a>.  Append-only and editable modes allow
the text at the insertion point to be modified.  The only difference is
that text may only be added to or removed from the end of a buffer in
append-only mode.
</p><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Text_Widget_for_Users"></a>Text Widget for Users</h2></div></div></div><p>

The Text widget provides many of the common keyboard editing commands.
These commands allow users to move around and edit the buffer.  If an
illegal operation is attempted, (such as deleting characters in a
read-only text widget), the X server will beep.
</p><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Default_Key_Bindings"></a>Default Key Bindings</h3></div></div></div><p>

The default key bindings are patterned after those in the EMACS text editor:

</p><pre class="literallayout">


Ctrl-a	Beginning Of Line	Meta-b	Backward Word
Ctrl-b	Backward Character	Meta-f	Forward Word
Ctrl-d	Delete Next Character	Meta-i	Insert File

Ctrl-y	Unkill	Meta-Shift Backspace	Kill Previous Word
Ctrl-z	Scroll One Line Up
Ctrl-\\	Reconnect to input method
Kanji	Reconnect to input method
</pre><p>

</p><p>

In addition, the pointer may be used to cut and paste text:
</p><p>

</p><pre class="literallayout">


	Button 1 Down	Start Selection
	Button 1 Motion	Adjust Selection
	Button 1 Up	End Selection (cut)

	Button 2 Down	Insert Current Selection (paste)

	Button 3 Down	Extend Current Selection
	Button 3 Motion	Adjust Selection
	Button 3 Up	End Selection (cut)

</pre><p>
</p><p>

Since all of these key and pointer bindings are set through the
translations and resource manager, the user and the application
programmer can modify them by changing the Text widget's
<code class="function">translations</code> resource.

</p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Search_and_Replace"></a>Search and Replace</h3></div></div></div><p>

The Text widget provides a search popup that can be used to search for a
string within the current Text widget.  The popup can be activated by
typing either <span class="emphasis"><em>Control-r</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>Control-s</em></span>.  If <span class="emphasis"><em>Control-s</em></span> is
used the search will be forward in the file from the current location of the
insertion point; if <span class="emphasis"><em>Control-r</em></span> is used the search will be backward.  The
activated popup is placed under the pointer.  It has a number of buttons
that allow both text searches and text replacements to be performed.
</p><p>

At the top of the search popup are two toggle buttons labeled
<span class="emphasis"><em>backward</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>forward</em></span>.  One of these buttons will always be
highlighted; this is the direction in which the search will be
performed.  The user can change the direction at any time by clicking on
the appropriate button.
</p><p>

Directly under the buttons there are two text areas, one labeled
<span class="emphasis"><em>Search for:</em></span> and the other labeled <span class="emphasis"><em>Replace with:</em></span>.  If this is
a read-only Text widget the <span class="emphasis"><em>Replace with:</em></span> field will be insensitive
and no replacements will be allowed.  After each of these labels will be
a text field.  This field will allow the user to enter a string to
search for and the string to replace it with.  Only one of these text
fields will have a window border around it; this is the active text
field.  Any key presses that occur when the focus in in the search popup
will be directed to the active text field.  There are also a few special
key sequences:
</p><pre class="literallayout">


<code class="function">Carriage Return</code>:	Execute the action, and pop down the search widget.
<code class="function">Tab</code>:	Execute the action, then move to the next field.
<code class="function">Shift Carriage Return</code>:	Execute the action, then move to the next field.
<code class="function">Control-q Tab</code>:	Enter a Tab into a text field.
<code class="function">Control-c</code>:	Pop down the search popup.
</pre><p>
</p><p>

Using these special key sequences should allow simple
searches without ever removing one's hands from the keyboard.
</p><p>

Near the bottom of the search popup is a row of buttons.  These buttons
allow the same actions to to be performed as the key sequences, but the
buttons will leave the popup active.  This can be quite useful if many
searches are being performed, as the popup will be left on the display.
Since the search popup is a transient window, it may be picked
up with the window manager and pulled off to the side for use
at a later time.
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">Search</span></p></td><td><p>
Search for the specified string.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">Replace</span></p></td><td><p>
Replace the currently highlighted string with the string in the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Replace with</em></span> text field, and move onto the next occurrence of the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Search for</em></span> text field.  The functionality is commonly referred to as
query-replace.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">ReplaceAll</span></p></td><td><p>
Replace all occurrences of the search string with the replace string from
the current insertion point position to the end (or beginning) of the
file.  There is no key sequence to perform this action.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">ReplaceAll</span></p></td><td><p>
Remove the search popup from the screen.
      </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>

Finally, when <code class="function">international</code> resource is <code class="function">true</code>, there may be a
pre-edit buffer below the button row, for composing input.  Its presence
is determined by the X locale in use and the VendorShell's <code class="function">preeditType</code>
resource.

are listed by class and instance name.

To insert a file into a text widget, type the key sequence <span class="emphasis"><em>Meta-i</em></span>,
which will activate the file insert popup.  This popup will appear under
the pointer, and any text typed while the focus is in this popup will be
redirected to the text field used for the filename.  When the desired
filename has been entered, click on <span class="emphasis"><em>Insert File</em></span>, or type
<span class="emphasis"><em>Carriage Return</em></span>.  The named file will then be inserted in the text
widget beginning at the insertion point position.  If an error occurs when
opening the file, an error message will be printed, prompting the user
to enter the filename again.  The file insert may be aborted by clicking
on <span class="emphasis"><em>Cancel</em></span>.  If <span class="emphasis"><em>Meta-i</em></span> is typed at a text widget that is
read-only, it will beep, as no file insertion is allowed.

The text widgets have a text selection mechanism that allows
the user to copy pieces of the text into the <code class="function">PRIMARY</code> selection,
and paste
into the text widget some text that another application (or text
widget) has put in the <code class="function">PRIMARY</code> selection.
</p><p>

One method of selecting text is to press pointer button 1
on the beginning of the text to be selected, drag the pointer until all
of the desired text is highlighted, and then release the button to
activate the selection.  Another method is to click pointer button 1 at
one end of the text to be selected, then click pointer button 3 at the
other end.
</p><p>

To modify a currently active selection, press pointer button 3 near
either the end of the selection that you want to
adjust.  This end of the selection may be moved while holding down pointer
button 3.  When the proper area has been highlighted release the pointer
button to activate the selection.
</p><p>

The selected text may now be pasted into another application, and
will remain active until some other client makes a selection.
To paste text that some other application has
put into the <code class="function">PRIMARY</code> selection use pointer button 2.
First place the insertion point where you would like the text to be inserted,
then click and release pointer button 2.
</p><p>

Rapidly clicking pointer button 1 the following number of times will adjust
the selection as described.

This action may only be attached to a key event. When the
<code class="function">international</code> resource is <code class="function">false</code>, this action
calls XLookupString to translate the event into a (rebindable) Latin-1
character (sequence) and inserts it into the text at the
insert point.  When the <code class="function">international</code> resource is <code class="function">true</code>,
characters are passed to the input method via XwcLookupString, and any
committed string returned is inserted into the text at the insert point.

This action inserts each <span class="emphasis"><em>string</em></span> into the text
at the insert point location.  Any <span class="emphasis"><em>string</em></span>
beginning with the characters "0x" followed by an even
number of hexadecimal digits is
interpreted as a hexadecimal constant and the
corresponding string is inserted instead.  This
hexadecimal string may represent up to 50 8-bit characters.
 When the<code class="function">international</code> resource is
<code class="function">true</code>, a hexadecimal string is intrepeted as
being in a multi-byte encoding, and a hexadecimal
or regular string will result in an error message
if it is not legal in the current locale.

      display-caret(<span class="emphasis"><em>state</em></span>,<span class="emphasis"><em>when</em></span>)

This action allows the insert point to be turned on and off.
The <span class="emphasis"><em>state</em></span> argument specifies the desired state of the insert point.
This value may be any of the string
values accepted for Boolean resources (e.g. <code class="function">on</code>, <code class="function">True</code>,
<code class="function">off</code>, <code class="function">False</code>, etc.).  If no arguments are specified, the
default value is <code class="function">True</code>.
The <span class="emphasis"><em>when</em></span> argument specifies, for <code class="function">EnterNotify</code> or <code class="function">LeaveNotify</code>
events whether or not the focus field in the event is to be examined.
If the second argument is not specified, or specified as something other
than <code class="function">always</code> then if the action is bound to an  <code class="function">EnterNotify</code>
or <code class="function">LeaveNotify</code> event, the action will be taken only if the focus
field is <code class="function">True</code>.  An augmented binding that might be useful is:

This action activates the search popup.  The <span class="emphasis"><em>direction</em></span> must be
specified as either <code class="function">forward</code> or <code class="function">backward</code>.  The string is
optional and is used as an initial value for the <span class="emphasis"><em>Search for</em></span>: string.

      multiply(<span class="emphasis"><em>value</em></span>)
    </span></p></td><td><p>
The multiply action allows the user to multiply the effects of many of
the text actions.  Thus the following action sequence
<span class="emphasis"><em>multiply(10) delete-next-word()</em></span> will delete 10 words.  It does not
matter whether these actions take place in one event or many events.
Using the default translations the key sequence \fIControl-u,
Control-d\fP will delete 4 characters.
Multiply actions can be chained, thus \fImultiply(5)
multiply(5)\fP is the same as <span class="emphasis"><em>multiply(25)</em></span>.  If the string
<code class="function">reset</code> is passed to the multiply action the effects of all previous
multiplies are removed and a beep is sent to the display.

This action removes all the Carriage Returns from the current

still fitting on the current screen.  Lines are broken at word boundaries if
at all possible.  This action currently works only on Text widgets
that use ASCII text.

This action is written specifically for the file insertion and the search
and replace
dialog boxes.  This action is attached to those shells by the Text widget,
in order to handle ClientMessage events with the WM_PROTOCOLS atom in the
detail field.  This action supports WM_DELETE_WINDOW on the Text widget
popups, and may support other window manager protocols if necessary in
the future.  The popup will be dismissed if the window manager sends
a WM_DELETE_WINDOW request and there are no parameters in the action
call, which is the default.  The popup will also be dismissed if the
parameters include the string ``wm_delete_window,'' and the event is a
ClientMessage event requesting dismissal or is not a ClientMessage event.
This action is not sensitive to the case of the strings passed as parameters.

When the <code class="function">international</code> resource is <code class="function">true</code>,
input is usually passed to an input method, a separate
process, for composing.  Sometimes the connection to
this process gets severed; this action will attempt to
reconnect it.  Causes for severage include network
trouble, and the user explicitly killing one input
method and starting a new one.  This action may also
establish first connection when the application is
started before the input method.

The default behavior of the text selection array is described in the
section called <code class="function">Text Selections for Users</code>.  To modify the selections
a programmer must construct a <code class="function">XawTextSelectType</code> array (called the
selection array), containing the selections desired, and pass this as
the new value for the <code class="function">selectionTypes</code> resource.  The selection
array may also be modified using the <a class="xref" href="#XawTextSetSelectionArray"><code class="function"> XawTextSetSelectionArray</code></a>

function.  All selection arrays must end with the value
<code class="function">XawselectNull</code>.  The <code class="function">selectionTypes</code> resource has no converter
registered and cannot be modified through the resource manager.
</p><p>

The array contains a list of entries that will be called when the user
attempts to select text in rapid succession with the <span class="emphasis"><em>select-start</em></span>
action (usually by clicking a pointer button).  The first entry in the
selection array will be used when the <span class="emphasis"><em>select-start</em></span> action is
initially called.  The next entry will be used when <span class="emphasis"><em>select-start</em></span>
is called again, and so on.  If a timeout value (1/10 of a second) is
exceeded, the the next <span class="emphasis"><em>select-start</em></span> action will begin at the top
of the selection array.  When <code class="function">XawselectNull</code> is reached the array
is recycled beginning with the first element.

</p><p>

The remainder of this chapter will describe customizing the Text
widget.  The Text widget may be customized by subclassing, or by
creating new sources and sinks.  Subclassing is described in
detail in Chapter 7; this section will describe only those things that
are specific to the Text widget.  Attributes of the Text widget base
class and creating new sources and sinks will be discussed.
</p><p>

The Text widget is made up of a number of different pieces, with the
Text widget as the base widget class.  It and the AsciiText widget are
the only true "widgets" in the Text widget family.  The other pieces
(sources and sinks) are X Toolkit objects and have no window
associated with them.  No source or sink is useful unless assigned to
a Text widget.
</p><p>

Each of the following pieces of the Text widget has a specific purpose,
and will be, or has been, discussed in detail in this chapter:

</p><p>
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">Text</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This is the glue that binds everything else together.  This widget reads
the text data from the source, and displays the information in the sink.
All translations and actions are handled in the Text widget itself.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">TextSink</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This object is responsible for displaying and clearing the drawing area.
It also reports the configuration of the window that contains the
drawing area.  The TextSink does not have its own window; instead it does
its drawing on the Text widget's window.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">TextSrc</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This object is responsible for reading, editing and searching through the
text buffer.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">AsciiSink</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This object is a subclass of the TextSink and knows how to display
ASCII text.  Support has been added to display any 8-bit character set, given
the font.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">MultiSink</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This object is a subclass of the TextSink and knows how to display
font sets.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">AsciiSrc</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This object is a subclass of the TextSrc and knows how to read strings
and files.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">MultiSrc</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This object is a subclass of the TextSrc and knows how to read strings
and multibyte files, converting them to wide characters based on locale.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><code class="function">AsciiText</code></span></p></td><td><p>
This widget is a subclass of the Text widget.  When created, the AsciiText
automatically creates and attaches either an AsciiSrc and AsciiSink, or a
MultiSrc and MultiSink, to itself.  The AsciiText provides the simplest
interface to the Athena Text widgets.

The TextSink object is the root object for all text sinks.  Any new text
sink objects should be subclasses of the TextSink Object.  The TextSink
Class contains all methods that the Text widget expects a text sink to
export.
</p><p>

Since all text sinks will have some resources in common, the TextSink
defines a few new resources.
</p><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="TextSink::Resources"></a>Resources</h3></div></div></div><p>

When creating an TextSink object instance, the following resources are

The Text widget will only pass one line at a time to the text sink, so
this function does not need to know how to line feed the text.  It is
acceptable for this function to just ignore Carriage Returns.  <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>

The TextSrc object is the root object for all text sources.  Any new text
source objects should be subclasses of the TextSrc Object.  The
TextSrc Class contains all methods the Text widget expects a text
source to export.
</p><p>

Since all text sources will have some resources in common the
TextSrc defines a few new resources.
</p><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="TextSource::Resources"></a>Resources</h3></div></div></div><p>
When creating an TextSrc object instance, the following resources are
retrieved from the argument list or from the resource database:
</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col align="center" class="c1" /><col align="center" class="c2" /><col align="center" class="c3" /><col align="center" class="c4" /><col align="center" class="c5" /></colgroup><thead><tr><th align="center">Name</th><th align="center">Class</th><th align="center">Type</th><th align="center">Notes</th><th align="center">Default Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">destroyCallback</td><td align="center">Callback</td><td align="center">XtCallbackList</td><td align="center"> </td><td align="center">NULL</td></tr><tr><td align="center">editType</td><td align="center">EditType</td><td align="center">EditMode</td><td align="center"> </td><td align="center">NULL</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Subclassing_the_TextSrc"></a>Subclassing the TextSrc</h3></div></div></div><p>
The only purpose of the TextSrc Object is to be subclassed.  It contains
the minimum set of class methods that all text sources must have.  All
class methods of the TextSrc must be defined, as the Text widget uses
them all.  While all may be inherited, the direct descendant of TextSrc
<code class="function">must</code> specify some of them as TextSrc does not contain enough
information to be a valid text source by itself.  Do not try to use the
TextSrc as a valid source for the Text widget; it is not intended to be
used as a source by itself and bad things will probably happen.

Class		asciiSrcObjectClass or multiSrcObjectClass

Class Name	AsciiSrc or MultiSrc

Superclass	TextSource
</pre><p>
</p><p>

The AsciiSrc or MultiSrc object is used by a text widget to read the text from a
file or string in memory.  Depending on its <code class="function">international</code> resource, an
AsciiText widget will create one or the other of these when the AsciiText
itself is created.  Both types are nearly identical; the following discussion
applies to both, with MultiSrc differences noted only as they occur.
</p><p>

The AsciiSrc understands all Latin1 characters plus Tab
and Carriage Return.  \fIThe MultiSrc understands any set of character sets that
the underlying X implementation's internationalization handles.\fP
</p><p>

The AsciiSrc can be either of two types: <code class="function">XawAsciiFile</code>
or <code class="function">XawAsciiString</code>.
</p><p>

AsciiSrc objects of type <code class="function">XawAsciiFile</code> read the text from a file and
store it
into an internal buffer.  This buffer may then be modified, provided the
text widget is in the correct edit mode, just as if it were a source of
type <code class="function">XawAsciiString</code>.  Unlike R3 and earlier versions of the AsciiSrc,
it is now possible to specify an editable disk source.  The file is not
updated, however, until a call to <a class="xref" href="#XawAsciiSave"><code class="function"> XawAsciiSave</code></a> is made.  When the
source is in this mode the <code class="function">useStringInPlace</code> resource is ignored.
</p><p>

AsciiSrc objects of type <code class="function">XawAsciiString</code> have the text buffer
implemented as a string.
\fIMultiSrc objects of type <code class="function">XawAsciiString</code> have the text buffer
implemented as a wide character string.\fP
The string owner is responsible for allocating and managing storage for the
string.
</p><p>

In the default case for AsciiSrc objects of type <code class="function">XawAsciiString</code>,
the resource <code class="function">useStringInPlace</code> is false,
and the widget owns the string.  The initial value of the
string resource, and any update made by the application
programmer to the string resource with <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a>, is copied
into memory private to the widget, and managed internally by the widget.
The application writer
does not need to worry about running out of buffer space
(subject to the total memory available to the application).
The performance does not decay linearly as the buffer grows
large, as is necessarily the case when the text buffer is used
in place.   The application writer must use <a class="xref" href="#XtGetValues"><code class="function"> XtGetValues</code></a> to
determine the contents of the text buffer, which will return
a copy of the widget's text buffer as
it existed at the time of the <a class="xref" href="#XtGetValues"><code class="function"> XtGetValues</code></a> call.   This copy
is not affected by subsequent updates to the text buffer, i.e.,
it is not updated as the user types input into the text buffer.
This copy is freed upon the next call to XtGetValues to
retrieve the string resource; however, to conserve memory,
there is a convenience routine, <a class="xref" href="#XawAsciiSourceFreeString"><code class="function"> XawAsciiSourceFreeString</code></a>, allowing the
application programmer to direct the widget to free the copy.
</p><p>

When the resource <code class="function">useStringInPlace</code> is true and the AsciiSrc object
is of type <code class="function">XawAsciiString</code>, the application
is the string owner.  The widget will take the value
of the string resource as its own text buffer, and the <code class="function">length</code>
resource indicates the buffer size.   In this case
the buffer contents change as the user types at the widget;
it is not necessary to call <a class="xref" href="#XtGetValues"><code class="function"> XtGetValues</code></a> on the string
resource to determine the contents of the buffer-it will
simply return the address of the application's implementation
of the text buffer.

fly, and remains valid until the next time a string needs to be allocated.

This function will free the memory that contains the string pointer returned

For the ease of internationalization, the AsciiText widget class name has not
been changed, although it is actually able to support non-ASCII locales.
The AsciiText widget is really a collection of smaller parts.  It
includes the Text widget itself, a ``Source'' (which supports memory management),
and a ``Sink'' (which handles the display).  There are currently two supported
sources, the AsciiSrc and MultiSrc, and two supported sinks, the AsciiSink and




MultiSink.  Some of
the resources listed below are not actually resources of the
AsciiText, but belong to the associated source or sink.  This is
is noted in the explanation of each resource where it applies.  When
specifying these resources in a resource file it is necessary to use
<span class="emphasis"><em>*AsciiText*resource_name</em></span> instead of
<span class="emphasis"><em>*AsciiText.resource_name</em></span>, since they actually belong to the
children of the AsciiText widget, and not the AsciiText widget itself.
However, these resources may be set directly on the AsciiText widget at
widget creation time, or via <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a>.

The geometry management semantics provided by the X Toolkit give full
control of the size and position of a widget to the parent of that
widget.  While the children are allowed to request a certain size or
location, it is the parent who makes the final decision.  Many of the
composite widgets here will deny any geometry request from their
children by default.  If a child widget is not getting the expected size
or location, it is most likely the parent disallowing a request, or
implementing semantics slightly different than those expected by the
application programmer.
</p><p>

If the application wishes to change the size or location of
any widget it should make a call to <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a>.  This will

allow the widget to ask its parent for the new size or location.
As noted above the parent is allowed to refuse this request,
and the child must live with the result.  If the
application is unable to achieve the desired semantics, then perhaps it
should use a different composite widget.  Under no circumstances
should an application programmer resort to <code class="function">XtMoveWidget</code> or

<code class="function">XtResizeWidget</code>; these functions are exclusively for the use of

Composite widget implementors.

The Box widget provides geometry management of arbitrary widgets in a
box of a specified dimension.  The children are rearranged when
resizing events occur either on the Box or its children, or when
children are managed or unmanaged.  The Box widget always attempts to
pack its children as tightly as possible within the geometry allowed by
its parent.
</p><p>

Box widgets are commonly used to manage a related set of buttons and
are often called ButtonBox widgets, but the children are not
limited to buttons.  The Box's children are arranged on a background that
has its own specified dimensions and color.

The Dialog widget implements a commonly used interaction semantic to
prompt for auxiliary input from a user.  For example, you can use a
Dialog widget when an application requires a small piece of information,
such as a filename, from the user.  A Dialog widget, which is simply a
special case of the Form widget, provides a convenient way to create a
preconfigured form.
</p><p>

The typical Dialog widget contains three areas.  The first line
contains a description of the function of the Dialog widget, for
example, the string <span class="emphasis"><em>Filename:</em></span>.  The second line contains an area
into which the user types input.  The third line can contain buttons
that let the user confirm or cancel the Dialog input.  Any of these
areas may be omitted by the application.

The Dialog widget uses two different sets of layout seman-
tics.  One is used when initially laying out the children.
The other is used when the Dialog is resized.
</p><p>
The first layout method uses the <code class="function">fromVert</code> mand <code class="function">fromHoriz</code>
resources to place the children of the Dialog.  A single
pass is made through the Dialog widget's children in the
order that they were created.  Each child is then placed in
the Dialog widget below or to the right of the widget speci-
fied by the <code class="function">fromVert</code> mand <code class="function">fromHoriz</code> mresources.  The distance
the new child is placed from its left or upper neighbor is
determined by the <code class="function">horizDistance</code> mand <code class="function">vertDistance</code> mresources.
This implies some things about how the order of creation
affects the possible placement of the children.  The Form
widget registers a string to widget converter which does not
postpone conversion and does not cache conversion results.
</p><p>

The second layout method is used when the Dialog is resized.
It does not matter what causes this resize, and it is possi-
ble for a resize to happen before the widget becomes visible
(due to constraints imposed by the parent of the Dialog).
This layout method uses the <code class="function">bottom</code> ,
<code class="function">top</code> , <code class="function">left</code> , and
<code class="function">right</code>
resources.  These resources are used to determine what will
happen to each edge of the child when the Dialog is resized.
If a value of <code class="function">XawChain</code>
<span class="emphasis"><em>&lt;something&gt;</em></span>
 is specified, the the edge
of the child will remain a fixed distance from the <span class="emphasis"><em>chain</em></span>
edge of the Dialog.  For example if <code class="function">XawChainLeft</code>
mis specified for the <code class="function">right</code> mresource of a child
then the right edge
of that child will remain a fixed distance from the left
edge of the Dialog widget.  If a value of <code class="function">XawRubber</code> mis spec-
ified, that edge will grow by the same percentage that the
Dialog grew.  For instance if the Dialog grows by 50% the
left edge of the child (if specified as <code class="function">XawRubber</code> mwill be
50% farther from the left edge of the Dialog).  One must be
very careful when specifying these resources, for when they
are specified incorrectly children may overlap or completely
occlude other children when the Dialog widget is resized.

If you wish to force the Dialog to never resize one or more of its children
then set <code class="function">left</code> and <code class="function">right</code> to <code class="function">XawChainLeft</code> and
<code class="function">top</code> and <code class="function">bottom</code> to <code class="function">XawChainTop</code>.  This will cause
the child to remain a fixed distance from the top and left
edges of the Dialog, and to never resize.
</p></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Special_Considerations"></a>Special Considerations</h4></div></div></div><p>

The Dialog widget automatically sets the <code class="function">top</code> and <code class="function">bottom</code>
resources for all Children that are subclasses of the Command widget,
as well as the widget children that are used to contain the <code class="function">label</code>,
<code class="function">value</code>, and <code class="function">icon</code>.  This policy allows the buttons at the
bottom of the Dialog to interact correctly with the predefined children,
and makes it possible for a client to simply create and manage a new
Command button without having to specify its constraints.
</p><p>

The Dialog will also set <code class="function">fromLeft</code> to the last button in the

Dialog for each new button added to the Dialog widget.
</p><p>

The automatically added constraints cannot be overridden, as they are
policy decisions of the Dialog widget.  If a more flexible Dialog is
desired, the application is free to use the Form widget to create its
own Dialog policy.
</p></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Automatically_Created_Children"></a>Automatically Created Children.</h3></div></div></div><p>

The Dialog uses Label widgets to contain the <code class="function">label</code> and <code class="function">icon</code>.
These widgets are named <span class="emphasis"><em>label</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>icon</em></span> respectively.  The
Dialog <code class="function">value</code> is contained in an AsciiText widget whose name is
<code class="function">value</code>.  Using <code class="function">XtNameToWidget</code> the application can change

those resources associated with each of these widgets that are not
available through the Dialog widget itself.

</p><p>

The Form widget can contain an arbitrary number of children or
subwidgets.  The Form provides geometry management for its children,
which allows individual control of the position of each child.  Any
combination of children can be added to a Form.  The initial positions
of the children may be computed relative to the positions of previously
created children.  When the Form is resized, it computes new positions and
sizes for its children.  This computation is based upon information
provided when a child is added to the Form.
</p><p>

The default width of the Form is the minimum width needed to
enclose the children after computing their initial layout, with a
margin of <code class="function">defaultDistance</code>
at the right and bottom edges.  If a width and height is assigned
to the Form that is too small for the layout, the children will
be clipped by the right and bottom edges of the Form.

The Paned widget manages children in a vertically or horizontally
tiled fashion.  The panes may be dynamically resized by the user by
using the <span class="emphasis"><em>grips</em></span> that appear near the right or bottom edge of the
border between two panes.
</p><p>

The Paned widget may accept any widget class as a pane <code class="function">except</code>
Grip.  Grip widgets have a special meaning for the Paned widget, and
adding a Grip as its own pane will confuse the Paned widget.
</p><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Using_the_Paned_Widget"></a>Using the Paned Widget</h3></div></div></div><p>

The grips allow the panes to be resized by the user.  The semantics of
how these panes resize is somewhat complicated, and warrants further
explanation here.  When the mouse pointer is positioned on a grip and
pressed, an arrow is displayed that indicates the pane that is to be to
be resized.  While keeping the mouse button down, the user can move the
grip up and down (or left and right).  This, in turn, changes the size
of the pane.  The size of the Paned widget will not change.   Instead,
it chooses another pane (or panes) to resize. For more details on which
pane it chooses to resize, see <code class="function">Layout Semantics</code>.

One pointer binding allows the border between two panes to be moved,
without affecting any of the other panes.  When this occurs the pointer
will change to an arrow that points along the pane border.

The default bindings for the Paned widget's grips are:

In order to make effective use of the Paned widget it is helpful to know
the rules it uses to determine which child will be resized in any given
situation.  There are three rules used to determine which child is
resized.  While these rules are always the same, the panes that are
searched can change depending upon what caused the relayout.
</p><p>


<code class="function">Layout Rules</code>
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">

    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

When searching the children the Paned widget looks for panes that
satisfy all the rules, and if unsuccessful then it eliminates rule 3
and then 2.  Rule 1 is always enforced.
</p><p>

If the relayout is due to a resize or change in management then the
panes are searched from bottom to top.  If the relayout is due to grip
movement then they are searched from the grip selected in the direction
opposite the pane selected.
</p><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Resizing_Panes_from_a_Grip_Action"></a>Resizing Panes from a Grip Action</h4></div></div></div><p>

The pane above the grip is resized by invoking the GripAction with
<code class="function">UpLeftPane</code> specified.  The panes below the grip are each checked
against all rules, then rules 2 and 1 and finally against rule 1 only.
No pane above the chosen pane will ever be resized.
</p><p>

The pane below the grip is resized by invoking the GripAction with
<code class="function">LowRightPane</code> specified.  The panes above the grip are each
checked in this case.  No pane below the chosen pane will ever be resized.
</p><p>

Invoking GripAction with <code class="function">ThisBorderOnly</code> specified just moves the
border between the panes.  No other panes are ever resized.

When the Pane widget is resized it must determine a new size for each
pane.  There are two methods of doing this.  The Paned widget can either
give each pane its preferred size and then resize the panes to fit, or
it can use the current sizes and then resize the panes to fit.  The
<code class="function">resizeToPreferred</code> resource allows the application to tell the
Paned widget whether to query the child about its preferred size
(subject to the the <code class="function">preferredPaneSize</code>) or to use the current size
when refiguring the pane locations after the pane has been resized.
</p><p>

There is one special case.  All panes assume they should resize to
their preferred size until the Paned widget becomes visible to the user.
</p></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Managing_Children_and_Geometry_Management"></a>Managing Children and Geometry Management</h4></div></div></div><p>

The Paned widget always resizes its children to their preferred sizes when
a new child is managed, or a geometry management request is honored.
The Paned widget will first attempt to resize itself to contain its
panes exactly.  If this is not possible then it will hunt through the
children, from bottom to top (right to left), for a pane to resize.
</p></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Paned::Special_Considerations"></a>Special Considerations</h4></div></div></div><p>

When a user resizes a pane with the grips, the Paned widget assumes that
this new size is the preferred size of the pane.
</p></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Grip_Translations"></a>Grip Translations</h3></div></div></div><p>

The Paned widget has no action routines of its own, as all actions are
handled through the grips.  The grips are each assigned a default
Translation table.
</p><p>


</p><pre class="literallayout">


	&lt;Btn1Down&gt;:	GripAction(Start, UpLeftPane)

	&lt;Btn2Down&gt;:	GripAction(Start, ThisBorderOnly)
	&lt;Btn3Down&gt;:	GripAction(Start, LowRightPane)
	&lt;Btn1Motion&gt;:	GripAction(Move, UpLeftPane)
	&lt;Btn2Motion&gt;:	GripAction(Move, ThisBorderOnly)
	&lt;Btn3Motion&gt;:	GripAction(Move, LowRightPane)
	Any&lt;BtnUp&gt;:	GripAction(Commit)
</pre><p>

</p><p>

The Paned widget interprets the <code class="function">GripAction</code> as taking two arguments.

The first argument may be any of the following:
</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Start</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
Sets up the Paned widget for resizing and changes the cursor of the
grip.  The second argument determines which pane will be resized, and
can take on any of the three values shown above.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Move</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
The internal borders are drawn over the current pane locations to
animate where the borders would actually be placed if you were to move
this border as shown.  The second argument must match the second argument
that was passed to the <code class="function">Start</code> action, that began this process.  If
these arguments are not passed, the behavior is undefined.
      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <code class="function">Commit</code>
    </span></p></td><td><p>
This argument causes the Paned widget to commit the changes selected
by the previously started action.  The cursor is changed back to the
grip's inactive cursor.  No second argument is needed in this case.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Paned::Convenience_Routines"></a>Convenience Routines</h3></div></div></div><p>



To enable or disable a child's request for pane resizing,
use
<code class="function">XawPanedAllowResize :</code>

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XawPanedAllowResize"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XawPanedAllowResize</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var>, Boolean<var class="pdparam"> allow_resize</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

Specifies whether or not resizing requests for this child will be
granted by the Paned widget.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

If allow_resize is <code class="function">True</code>, the Paned widget allows geometry
requests from the child to change the pane's height. If allow_resize
is <code class="function">False</code>, the Paned widget ignores geometry requests from the
child to change the pane's height. The default state is <code class="function">True</code>
before the Pane is realized and <code class="function">False</code> after it is realized.
This procedure is equivalent to changing the <code class="function">allowResize</code>
constraint resource for the child.
</p><p>



To change the minimum and maximum height settings for a pane, use
<code class="function">XawPanedSetMinMax :</code>

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XawPanedSetMinMax"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XawPanedSetMinMax</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var>, intmin,<var class="pdparam"> max</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

This procedure is equivalent to setting the <code class="function">min</code> and <code class="function">max</code>

To retrieve the minimum and maximum height settings for a pane, use
<code class="function">XawPanedGetMinMax :</code>

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XawPanedGetMinMax"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XawPanedGetMinMax</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var>, int*min_return,<var class="pdparam"> *max_return</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <span class="emphasis"><em>min_return</em></span>

    </span></p></td><td><p>
Returns the maximum height of the child, expressed in pixels.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

This procedure is equivalent to getting the <code class="function">min</code> and <code class="function">max</code>
resources for this child child.
</p><p>




To enable or disable automatic recalculation of pane sizes and positions,
use
<code class="function">XawPanedSetRefigureMode :</code>

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XawPanedSetRefigureMode"></a><p><code class="funcdef">void<strong class="fsfunc"> XawPanedSetRefigureMode</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var>, Boolean<var class="pdparam"> mode</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

      </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">
      <span class="emphasis"><em>mode</em></span>

Specifies whether the layout of the Paned widget is enabled (<code class="function">True</code>)
or disabled (<code class="function">False</code>).
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

When making several changes to the children of a Paned widget
after the Paned has been realized, it is a good idea to disable
relayout until after all changes have been made.
</p><p>



To retrieve the number of panes in a paned widget use
<a class="xref" href="#XawPanedGetNumSub"><code class="function"> XawPanedGetNumSub</code></a>:

</p><div class="funcsynopsis"><a id="XawPanedGetNumSub"></a><p><code class="funcdef">int<strong class="fsfunc"> XawPanedGetNumSub</strong>(</code>Widget<var class="pdparam"> w</var><code>)</code>;</p></div><p>

    </span></p></td><td><p>
Specifies the Paned widget.
    </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>

This function returns the number of panes in the Paned widget.  This is
<code class="function">not</code> the same as the number of children, since the grips are also
children of the Paned widget.

The Tree widget provides geometry management of arbitrary widgets arranged
in a directed, acyclic graph (i.e., a tree).  The hierarchy is constructed
by attaching a constraint resource called <code class="function">treeParent</code> to each widget
indicating which other node in the tree should be treated as the widget's
superior.  The structure of the tree is shown by laying out the nodes
in the standard format for tree diagrams with lines drawn connecting each
node with its children.
</p><p>
The Tree sizes itself according to the needs of its children and is not
intended to be resized by its parent.  Instead, it should be placed inside
another composite widget (such as the <code class="function">Porthole</code> or <code class="function">Viewport</code>)
that can be used to scroll around in the tree.

The Viewport widget consists of a frame window, one or two Scrollbars,
and an inner window.  The size of the frame window is determined by the
viewing size of the data that is to be displayed and the dimensions to
which the Viewport is created.  The inner window is the full size of the
data that is to be displayed and is clipped by the frame window.  The
Viewport widget controls the scrolling of the data directly.  No
application callbacks are required for scrolling.
</p><p>

When the geometry of the frame window is equal in size to the inner
window, or when the data does not require scrolling, the Viewport widget
automatically removes any scrollbars.  The <code class="function">forceBars</code> option causes
the Viewport widget to display all scrollbars permanently.

These callbacks will be executed whenever the Viewport adjusts the viewed

By default the scrollbars appear on the left and top of the screen.
These resources allow the vertical scrollbar to be placed on the right
edge of the Viewport, and the horizontal scrollbar on the bottom edge of
the Viewport.

The Viewport widget manages a single child widget.  When the size of the
child is larger than the size of the Viewport, the user can interactively
move the child within the Viewport by repositioning the scrollbars.
</p><p>

The default size of the Viewport before it is realized is the width and/or
height of the child.  After it is realized, the Viewport will allow its
child to grow vertically or horizontally if <code class="function">allowVert</code> or
<code class="function">allowHoriz</code> are set, respectively.  If the corresponding vertical
or horizontal scrollbar is not enabled, the Viewport will propagate the
geometry request to its own parent and the child will be allowed to change
size only if the Viewport's parent allows it.  Regardless of whether or not
scrollbars are enabled in the corresponding direction, if the child requests
a new size smaller than the Viewport size, the change will be allowed only
if the parent of the Viewport allows the Viewport to shrink to the
appropriate dimension.
</p><p>

The scrollbar children of the Viewport are named <code class="function">horizontal</code> and
<code class="function">vertical</code>.  By using these names the programmer can specify resources
for the individual scrollbars.  <a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a> can be used to modify
the resources dynamically once the widget ID has been obtained with
<code class="function">XtNameToWidget</code>.


</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Although the Viewport is a Subclass of the Form, no resources for the Form
may be supplied for any of the children of the Viewport.  These constraints
are managed internally and are not meant for public consumption.

Although the task of creating a new widget may at first appear a little
daunting, there is a basic simple pattern that all widgets follow.  The
Athena Widget library contains a special widget called the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Template</em></span> widget that is intended to assist
the novice widget programmer in writing a custom widget.
</p><p>
Reasons for wishing to write a custom widget include:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Providing a graphical interface not currently supported by any existing
widget set.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Convenient access to resource management procedures to obtain fonts,
colors, etc., even if user customization is not desired.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Convenient access to user input dispatch and translation management procedures.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Access to callback mechanism for building higher-level application libraries.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Customizing the interface or behavior of an existing widget to suit a
special application need.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Desire to allow user customization of resources such as fonts, colors,
etc., or to allow convenient re-binding of keys and buttons to internal
functions.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Converting a non-Toolkit application to use the Toolkit.
    </p></li></ul></div><p>
In each of these cases, the operation needed to create a new widget is
to "subclass" an existing one.  If the desired semantics of the new
widget are similar to an existing one, then the implementation of the
existing widget should be examined to see how much work would be
required to create a subclass that will then be
able to share the existing class methods.  Much time will be saved in
writing the new widget if an existing widget class Expose, Resize and/or
GeometryManager method can be used by the subclass.
</p><p>
Note that some trivial uses of a ``bare-bones'' widget may be achieved by
simply creating an instance of the Core
widget.  The class variable to use when creating a Core widget is
<code class="function">widgetClass</code>.
The geometry of the Core widget is determined entirely by the parent
widget.
</p><p>
It is very often the case than an application will have a special need
for a certain set of functions and that many copies of these functions
will be needed.  For example, when converting an older application to use
the Toolkit, it may be desirable to have a "Window Widget" class that
might have the following semantics:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Allocate 2 drawing colors in addition to a background color.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Allocate a text font.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Execute an application-supplied function to handle exposure events.
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Execute an application-supplied function to handle user input events.
    </p></li></ul></div><p>
It is obvious that a completely general-purpose WindowWidgetClass could
be constructed that would export all class methods as callbacks lists,
but such a widget would be very large and would have to choose some
arbitrary number of resources such as colors to allocate.  An application
that used many instances of the general-purpose widget would therefore
un-necessarily waste many resources.
</p><p>
In this section, an outline will be given of the procedure to follow to
construct a special-purpose widget to address the items listed above.
The reader should refer to the appropriate sections of the
<span class="emphasis"><em>X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface</em></span>
for complete details of the material outlined here.  Section 1.4 of
the <span class="emphasis"><em>Intrinsics</em></span> should be read in
conjunction with this section.
</p><p>
All Athena widgets have three separate files associated with them:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
A "public" header file containing declarations needed by applications programmers
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
A "private" header file containing additional declarations needed by the
widget and any subclasses
    </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
A source code file containing the implementation of the widget
    </p></li></ul></div><p>
This separation of functions into three files is suggested for all
widgets, but nothing in the Toolkit actually requires this format.  In
particular, a private widget created for a single application may easily
combine the "public" and "private" header files into a single file, or
merge the contents into another application header file.  Similarly, the
widget implementation can be merged into other application code.
</p><p>
In the following example, the public header file
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xaw/Template.h &gt;</code>,
the private header file
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xaw/TemplateP.h &gt;</code>
and the source code file
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xaw/Template.c &gt;</code>
will be modified to produce the "WindowWidget" described above.
In each case, the files have been designed so that a global string
replacement of "Template" and "template"
with the name of your new widget, using
the appropriate case, can be done.
</p><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Public_Header_File"></a>Public Header File</h2></div></div></div><p>
The public header file contains declarations that will be required by any
application module that needs to refer to the widget; whether to create
an instance of the class, to perform an
<a class="xref" href="#XtSetValues"><code class="function"> XtSetValues</code></a>
operation, or to call a public routine implemented by the widget class.
</p><p>

The contents of the Template public header file,
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xaw/Template.h &gt;, </code>
are:

You will notice that most of this file is documentation.  The crucial
parts are the last 8 lines where macros for any private resource names
and classes are defined and where the widget class datatypes and class
record pointer are declared.
</p><p>

For the "WindowWidget", we want 2 drawing colors, a callback list for
user input and an
<code class="function">exposeCallback</code> callback list, and we will declare three
convenience procedures, so we need to add
</p><pre class="literallayout">



/* Resources:
	...

extern Pixel WindowColor1(\|/* Widget */\|);
extern Pixel WindowColor2(\|/* Widget */\|);
extern Font\ \ WindowFont(\|/* Widget */\|);

</pre><p>

Note that we have chosen to call the input callback list by the generic
name, <code class="function">callback</code>, rather than a specific name.  If widgets that define
a single user-input action all choose the same resource name then there
is greater possibility for an application to switch between widgets of
different types.
</p></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Private_Header_File"></a>Private Header File</h2></div></div></div><p>

The private header file contains the complete declaration of the class
and instance structures for the widget and any additional private data
that will be required by anticipated subclasses of the widget.
Information in the private header file is normally hidden from the
application and is designed to be accessed only through other public
procedures; e.g.
<code class="function">XtSetValues .</code>
</p><p>

The contents of the Template private header file,
<code class="function">&lt; X11/Xaw/TemplateP.h &gt;, </code>
are:

</pre><p>
The private header file includes the private header file of its
superclass, thereby exposing the entire internal structure of the widget.
It may not always be advantageous to do this; your own project
development style will dictate the appropriate level of detail to expose
in each module.
</p><p>
The "WindowWidget" needs to declare two fields in its instance structure to
hold the drawing colors, a resource field for the font and a field for the
expose and user input callback lists:
</p><pre class="literallayout">
typedef struct {
	/* resources */
	Pixel color_1;
	Pixel color_2;
	XFontStruct* font;
	XtCallbackList expose_callback;
	XtCallbackList input_callback;
	/* private state */
	/* (none) */
} WindowPart;
</pre></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Widget_Source_File"></a>Widget Source File</h2></div></div></div><p>

The source code file implements the widget class itself.  The unique
part of this file is the declaration and initialization of the
widget class record structure and the declaration of all resources and
action routines added by the widget class.

The resource list for the "WindowWidget" might look like the following:
</p><pre class="literallayout">
static XtResource resources[] = {
#define offset(field) XtOffsetOf(WindowWidgetRec, window.field)
	/* {name, class, type, size, offset, default_type, default_addr}, */

	{ XtNcallback, XtCCallback, XtRCallback, sizeof(XtCallbackList),
		  offset(input_callback), XtRCallback, NULL },
#undef offset
};
</pre><p>

The user input callback will be implemented by an action procedure which
passes the event pointer as call_data.  The action procedure
is declared as:

</p><pre class="literallayout">
/* ARGSUSED */
static void InputAction(w, event, params, num_params)
	Widget w;
	XEvent *event;
	String *params;		/* unused */
	Cardinal *num_params;	/* unused */
{
	XtCallCallbacks(w, XtNcallback, (XtPointer)event);
}

static XtActionsRec actions[] =
{
	/* {name,	procedure}, */
	{"input",	InputAction},
};
</pre><p>

and the default input binding will be to execute the input callbacks on
<code class="function">KeyPress</code> and <code class="function">ButtonPress : </code>
</p><pre class="literallayout">
static char translations[] =
"	&lt;Key&gt;:	input(\|) \\n\\
 	&lt;BtnDown&gt;:	input(\|) \\
";
</pre><p>
In the class record declaration and initialization, the only field that
is different from the Template is the expose procedure:
</p><pre class="literallayout">
/* ARGSUSED */
static void Redisplay(w, event, region)
	Widget w;
	XEvent *event;	/* unused */
	Region region;
{
	XtCallCallbacks(w, XtNexposeCallback, (XtPointer)region);
}

WindowClassRec windowClassRec = {

	...

	/* expose	*/	Redisplay,
</pre><p>


The "WindowWidget" will also declare three public procedures to return the
drawing colors and the font id, saving the application the effort of
constructing an argument list for a call to
<code class="function">XtGetValues :</code>
</p><pre class="literallayout">
Pixel WindowColor1(w)
        Widget w;
{
        return ((WindowWidget)w)-&gt;window.color_1;
}

Pixel WindowColor2(w)
        Widget w;
{
        return ((WindowWidget)w)-&gt;window.color_2;
}

Font WindowFont(w)
        Widget w;
{
        return ((WindowWidget)w)-&gt;window.font-&gt;fid;
}
</pre><p>
The "WindowWidget" is now complete.  The application can retrieve the two
drawing colors from the widget instance by calling either
<code class="function">XtGetValues ,</code>
or the <code class="function">WindowColor</code> functions.  The actual window created for the
"WindowWidget" is available by calling the
<code class="function">XtWindow</code> function.

Many of the improvements that I have been able to make are because he
provided a solid foundation to build upon.  While much of the effort
has been Ralph's, many other people have contributed to the code.
