VendorShell is a Motif widget class used as a supporting superclass for
all shell classes that are visible to the window manager and that are
not override redirect.
It contains resources that describe the MWM-specific
look and feel. It also manages the MWM-specific communication
needed by all VendorShell subclasses.
See the
mwm(X3mot)
man page for more information.
If an application uses the XmNmwmDecorations,
XmNmwmFunctions, or XmNmwmInputMode resource, it should
include the file <Xm/MwmUtil.F>.
Setting XmNheight, XmNwidth, or XmNborderWidth for
either a VendorShell or its managed child usually sets that resource to the
same value in both the parent and the child. When an off-the-spot input
method exists, the height and width of the shell may be greater than
those of the managed child in order to accommodate the input method.
In this case setting XmNheight or XmNwidth for the
shell does not necessarily set that resource to the same value in
the managed child, and setting XmNheight or XmNwidth
for the child does not necessarily set that resource to the same
value in the shell.
For the managed child of a VendorShell, regardless of the value
of the shell's XmNallowShellResize, setting XmNx or
XmNy sets the corresponding resource of the parent but does
not change the child's position relative to the parent.
XtGetValues for the child's XmNx or XmNy
yields the value of the corresponding resource in the parent.
The x and y coordinates of the child's upper left outside
corner relative to the parent's upper left inside corner are both zero
minus the value of XmNborderWidth.
Note that the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual
allows a window manager to change or control the border width of a
reparented top-level window.
Classes
VendorShell inherits behavior and resources from Core,
Composite, Shell, and WMShell classes.
The class pointer is vendorShellWidgetClass.
The class name is VendorShell.
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
subresource 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 subresource 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 subresource can be
set at creation time (C),
set by using XtSetValues (S),
retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNaudibleWarning
Determines whether an action activates its associated audible cue.
The possible values are: XmBELL and XmNONE.
XmNbuttonFontList
Specifies the font list used for VendorShell's button descendants.
If this value is NULL at initialization and if the value of
XmNdefaultFontList is not NULL, XmNbuttonFontList
is initialized to the value of XmNdefaultFontList. If the value
of XmNdefaultFontList is NULL, XmNbuttonFontList
is initialized by looking up the parent hierarchy of the widget for
an ancestor that is a subclass of the XmBulletinBoard, VendorShell,
or XmMenuShell widget class. If such an ancestor is found,
XmNbuttonFontList is initialized to the XmNbuttonFontList
of the ancestor widget. If no such ancestor is found, the default
is implementation dependent.
XmNdefaultFontList
Specifies a default font list for VendorShell's descendants.
This resource is obsolete and exists for compatibility with
earlier releases. It has been replaced by XmNbuttonFontList,
XmNlabelFontList, and XmNtextFontList.
XmNdeleteResponse
Determines what action the shell takes in response to a
WM_DELETE_WINDOW message.
The setting can be one of three values: XmDESTROY, XmUNMAP,
and XmDO_NOTHING.
The resource is scanned, and the appropriate action is taken, after the
WM_DELETE_WINDOW callback list (if any) that is registered with
the Protocol manager has been called.
XmNinputMethod
Specifies the string that sets the locale modifier for the input method.
XmNkeyboardFocusPolicy
Determines allocation of keyboard focus within the widget hierarchy rooted
at this shell. The X keyboard focus must be directed to somewhere in the
hierarchy for this client-side focus management to take effect.
Possible values are XmEXPLICIT, specifying a click-to-type policy,
and XmPOINTER, specifying a pointer-driven policy.
XmNlabelFontList
Specifies the font list used for VendorShell's label descendants
(Labels and LabelGadgets). If this value is NULL at initialization
and if the value of XmNdefaultFontList is not NULL,
XmNlabelFontList is initialized to the value of
XmNdefaultFontList. If the value of XmNdefaultFontList is
NULL, XmNlabelFontList is initialized by looking up the parent
hierarchy of the widget for an ancestor that is a subclass of the
XmBulletinBoard, VendorShell, or XmMenuShell widget class. If such
an ancestor is found, XmNlabelFontList is initialized to the
XmNlabelFontList of the ancestor widget. If no such ancestor
is found, the default is implementation dependent.
XmNmwmDecorations
Specifies the decoration flags (specific decorations to add or remove
from the window manager frame) for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
If any decoration flags are specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property, only decorations indicated by both that property and
the MWM
clientDecoration and transientDecoration resources are
displayed.
If no decoration flags are specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property, decorations indicated by the MWM
clientDecoration and
transientDecoration resources are displayed.
The default for the XmNmwmDecorations resource is not to specify
any decoration flags for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
The value of this resource is the bitwise inclusive OR of one or more
flag bits.
Following are the possible flag bit constants, defined in the include
file <Xm/MwmUtil.h>:
MWM_DECOR_ALL -- All decorations except those
specified by other flag bits that are set
MWM_DECOR_BORDER -- Client window border
MWM_DECOR_RESIZEH -- Resize frame handles
MWM_DECOR_TITLE -- Title bar
MWM_DECOR_MENU -- Window menu button
MWM_DECOR_MINIMIZE -- Minimize window button
MWM_DECOR_MAXIMIZE -- Maximize window button
XmNmwmFunctions
Specifies the function flags (specific window manager functions to
apply or not apply to the client window) for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property.
If any function flags are specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property, only functions indicated by both that property and theMWM
clientFunctions and transientFunctions resources are
applied.
If no function flags are specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property, functions indicated by the MWM clientFunctions
and transientFunctions resources are applied.
The default for the XmNmwmFunctions resource is not to specify any
function flags for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
The value of this resource is the bitwise inclusive OR of one or more
flag bits.
Following are the possible flag bit constants, defined in the include
file <Xm/MwmUtil.h>:
MWM_FUNC_ALL -- All functions except those specified by
other flag bits that are set
MWM_FUNC_RESIZE -- f.resize
MWM_FUNC_MOVE -- f.move
MWM_FUNC_MINIMIZE -- f.minimize
MWM_FUNC_MAXIMIZE -- f.maximize
MWM_FUNC_CLOSE -- f.kill
XmNmwmInputMode
Specifies the input mode flag (application modal or system modal input
constraints) for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
If no input mode flag is specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property, no input constraints are applied, and input goes to any
window.
The default for the XmNmwmInputMode resource is not to specify any
input mode flag for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
An application that sets input constraints on a dialog usually uses the
BulletinBoard's XmNdialogStyle resource rather than the parent
DialogShell's XmNmwmInputMode resource.
Following are the possible values for this resource, defined in the
include file <Xm/MwmUtil.h>:
MWM_INPUT_MODELESS -- Input goes to any window
MWM_INPUT_PRIMARY_APPLICATION_MODAL -- Input does not
go to ancestors of this window
MWM_INPUT_SYSTEM_MODAL -- Input goes only to this window
MWM_INPUT_FULL_APPLICATION_MODAL -- Input does not go to other
windows in this application
XmNmwmMenu
Specifies the menu items that the Motif window manager should add to the end
of the window menu. The string contains a list of items separated
by -- with the following format:
label [mnemonic] [accelerator] function
If more than one item is specified, the items should be separated by a
newline character.
XmNpreeditType
Specifies the input method style or styles available to the input
manager.
The syntax, possible values, and default value are implementation
dependent.
If more than one style is specified, the list is in priority
order. The input manager uses the first style if it is available; if
not, it uses the second style, and so on.
The supported input method styles are:
OverTheSpot
The pre-edit window is located over the point of insertion.
OffTheSpot
The pre-edit window is not located over the point of insertion.
In this case, the pre-edit window is often located at the bottom
of the application window.
Root
The pre-edit window is a child of the root window.
If no input method style in this list is available, the input
manager can support another input style method, but only if it
does not require geometry management or any additional supporting
information.
The Xlib XIMStyles data structure stores preedit information that
describes the requirements for a given input method style.
The three styles identified by XmNpreeditType are related to the
preedit settings in an XIMStyles structure. The input styles,
OverTheSpot, OffTheSpot and Root, correspond
respectively to the settings XIMPreEditPosition, XIMPreEditArea,
and XIMPreEditNothing.
XmNshellUnitType
Determines geometric resource interpretation.
The following values are allowed:
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.
XmNtextFontList
Specifies the font list used for VendorShell's Text and List
descendants. If this value is NULL at initialization
and if the value of XmNdefaultFontList is not NULL,
XmNtextFontList is initialized to the value of
XmNdefaultFontList. If the value of XmNdefaultFontList is
NULL, XmNtextFontList is initialized by looking up the parent
hierarchy of the widget for an ancestor that is a subclass of the
XmBulletinBoard or VendorShell widget class. If such
an ancestor is found, XmNtextFontList is initialized to the
XmNtextFontList of the ancestor widget. If no such ancestor
is found, the default is implementation dependent.
XmNuseAsyncGeometry
Specifies whether the geometry manager should wait for confirmation of a
geometry request to the window manager.
When the value of this resource is True, the geometry manager forces
XmNwaitForWm to False and XmNwmTimeout to 0, and it relies
on asynchronous notification.
When the value of this resource is False, XmNwaitForWm and
XmNwmTimeout are unaffected.
The default is False.
Inherited resources
VendorShell inherits behavior and resources from the following
superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the
man page for that superclass.
