NAME

XmGadget - The Gadget widget class  

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h>


 

DESCRIPTION

Gadget is a widget class used as a supporting superclass for other gadget classes. It handles shadow-border drawing and highlighting, traversal activation and deactivation, and various callback lists needed by gadgets.

The color and pixmap resources defined by XmManager are directly used by gadgets. If XtSetValues is used to change one of the resources for a manager widget, all of the gadget children within the manager also change.
 

Classes

Gadget inherits behavior and resources from Object and RectObj classes.

The class pointer is xmGadgetClass.

The class name is XmGadget.
 

New Resources

The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between words). The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XmGadget Resource Set

Class: XmCBottomShadowColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: G Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C Class: XmCHighlightColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: G Class: XmCHighlightOnEnter Default: False Type: Boolean Access: CSG Class: XmCHighlightThickness Default: 2 Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCNavigationType Default: XmNONE Type: XmNavigationType Access: CSG Class: XmCShadowThickness Default: 2 Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCTopShadowColor Default: dynamic Type: Pixel Access: G Class: XmCTraversalOn Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG Class: XmCUnitType Default: dynamic Type: unsigned char Access: CSG Class: XmCUserData Default: NULL Type: XtPointer Access: CSG

Contains the color to use to draw the bottom and right sides of the border shadow. Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the help key sequence is pressed. The reason sent by the callback is XmCR_HELP. Contains the color of the highlighting rectangle. Specifies if the highlighting rectangle is drawn when the cursor moves into the widget. If the shell's focus policy is XmEXPLICIT, this resource is ignored, and the widget is highlighted when it has the focus. If the shell's focus policy is XmPOINTER and if this resource is True, the highlighting rectangle is drawn when the cursor moves into the widget. If the shell's focus policy is XmPOINTER and if this resource is False, the highlighting rectangle is not drawn when the cursor moves into the widget. The default is False. Specifies the thickness of the highlighting rectangle. Determines whether the widget is a tab group. XmNONE indicates that the widget is not a tab group. XmTAB_GROUP indicates that the widget is a tab group, unless another widget in the hierarchy has an XmNnavigationType of XmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP. XmSTICKY_TAB_GROUP indicates that the widget is a tab group, even if another widget in the hierarchy has an XmNnavigationType of XmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP. XmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP indicates that the widget is a tab group and that widgets in the hierarchy whose XmNnavigationType is XmTAB_GROUP are not tab groups.
When a parent widget has an XmNnavigationType of XmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP, traversal of non-tab-group widgets within the group is based on the order of those widgets in their parent's XmNchildren list.
When any widget in a hierarchy has an XmNnavigationType of XmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP, traversal of tab groups in the hierarchy proceeds to widgets in the order in which their XmNnavigationType resources were specified as XmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP or XmSTICKY_TAB_GROUP, whether by creating the widgets with that value, by calling XtSetValues, or by calling XmAddTabGroup. Specifies the size of the drawn border shadow. Contains the color to use to draw the top and left sides of the border shadow. Specifies traversal activation for this gadget. Provides the basic support for resolution independence. It defines the type of units a widget uses with sizing and positioning resources. If the widget's parent is a subclass of XmManager and if the XmNunitType resource is not explicitly set, it defaults to the unit type of the parent widget. If the widget's parent is not a subclass of XmManager, the resource has a default unit type of XmPIXELS.
XmNunitType can have the following values: XmPIXELS--all values provided to the widget are treated as normal pixel values. Xm100TH_MILLIMETERS--all values provided to the widget are treated as 1/100 millimeter. Xm1000TH_INCHES--all values provided to the widget are treated as 1/1000 inch. Xm100TH_POINTS--all values provided to the widget are treated as 1/100 point. A point is a unit used in text processing applications and is defined as 1/72 inch. Xm100TH_FONT_UNITS--all values provided to the widget are treated as 1/100 of a font unit. A font unit has horizontal and vertical components. These are the values of the XmScreen resources XmNhorizontalFontUnit and XmNverticalFontUnit. Allows the application to attach any necessary specific data to the gadget. This is an internally unused resource.
 

Inherited Resources

Gadget inherits the following resources from the named superclass. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the man page for that superclass.

RectObj Resource Set

Class: XmCSensitive Default: dynamic Type: Boolean Access: G Class: XmCBorderWidth Default: 0 Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCHeight Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCSensitive Default: True Type: Boolean Access: CSG Class: XmCWidth Default: dynamic Type: Dimension Access: CSG Class: XmCPosition Default: 0 Type: Position Access: CSG Class: XmCPosition Default: 0 Type: Position Access: CSG

Object Resource Set

Class: XmCCallback Default: NULL Type: XtCallbackList Access: C


 

Callback Information

A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback: typedef struct {
  int      reason;
  XEvent   * event; } XmAnyCallbackStruct;

Indicates why the callback was invoked. For this callback, reason is set to XmCR_HELP. Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback.
 

Behavior

Gadgets cannot have translations associated with them. Because of this, a Gadget's behavior is determined by the Manager widget into which the Gadget is placed. If focus is on a Gadget, events are passed to the Gadget by its Manager.
