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).

XmNbottomShadowColor
Contains the color to use to draw the bottom and right sides of the border shadow.

XmNhelpCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the help key sequence is pressed. The reason sent by the callback is XmCR_HELP.

XmNhighlightColor
Contains the color of the highlighting rectangle.

XmNhighlightOnEnter
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.

XmNhighlightThickness
Specifies the thickness of the highlighting rectangle.

XmNnavigationType
Determines whether the widget is a tab group.

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.


XmNshadowThickness
Specifies the size of the drawn border shadow.

XmNtopShadowColor
Contains the color to use to draw the top and left sides of the border shadow.

XmNtraversalOn
Specifies traversal activation for this gadget.

XmNunitType
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:


XmNuserData
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.

Callback information

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

reason
Indicates why the callback was invoked. For this callback, reason is set to XmCR_HELP.

event
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.
