FlatNonexclusives(3w)  —  OLIT Widget Set

CLASS NAME

FlatNonexclusives − flat nonexclusive choice widget

SYNOPSIS

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
#include <X11/StringDefs.h>
#include <Xol/OpenLook.h>
#include <Xol/FNonexclus.h>
 . . .
Widget my_flatnonexclusive, my_parent;
String my_name;
ArgList args;
Cardinal num_args;

my_flatnonexclusive =  XtCreate( my_name, flatNonexclusivesWidgetClass,

my_parent, args, num_args);

DESCRIPTION

Default Spacing

default spacing FlatNonexclusives"default spacing FlatNonexclusives

The default spacing between items is 50% of the prevailing point size for the container’s font.

The FlatNonexclusives can be added as child in a menu pane to implement a several-of-many menu choice. 

Coloration

The FlatNonexclusives container inherits its background color from the container’s parent widget.  Setting the background color affects only the sub-objects’ background. 

Keyboard Traversal

The FlatNonexclusives widget is a Primitive widget that manages the traversal between a set of sub-objects.  When the user traverses to a FlatNonexclusives widget, the first sub-object in the set will display itself as having input focus (see the RectButton Widget for a description of this appearance.) 

The MOVEUP, MOVEDOWN, MOVERIGHT, and MOVELEFT keys move the input focus between the sub-objects.  To traverse out of the FlatNonexclusives widget, the following keys can be used:

—NEXT_FIELD moves to the next traversable widget in the window

—PREV_FIELD moves to the previous traversable widget in the window

—NEXTWINDOW moves to the next window in the application. 

—PREVWINDOW moves to the previous window in the application. 

—NEXTAPP moves to the first window in the next application. 

—PREVAPP moves to the first window in the previous application.

RESOURCES

Sub-object Resources

The following tables list the resources for the FlatExclusives.  Resources marked by a bullet (•) denote sub-object resources.  If these resources are not included in the XtNitemFields list, they are inherited from the container widget.  An application can change the default values for sub-object resources by setting them on the container directly.  Even though a sub-object resource is not included in the XtNitemFields list, the application can query the value of any sub-object resource with OlFlatGetValues().

• sub-object resources; see below
∗ see below
† see Resources(3W)

XtNancestorSensitive

 class:XtCSensitivetype:Booleandefault:TRUETRUE’u’access:GG’u’

Action: indicates sensitivity of sub-object’s ancestors. 

Values: TRUE – all the sub-object’s ancestors are sensitive and the sub-object is sensitive to user input.  FALSE – one or more of the sub-object’s ancestors are insensitive, so the sub-object displays an inactive visual and is not sensitive to user input. 

XtNbackground

 class:XtCBackgroundtype:Pixeldefault:XtDefaultBackgroundXtDefaultBackground’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: indicates pixel color used to fill background of sub-object. 

XtNbackgroundPixmap

 class:XtCBackgroundPixmaptype:Pixmapdefault:NoneNone’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: specifies pixmap displayed as sub-object’s label. 

Any supplied pixmap must have the same depth as the flat widget’s depth.  Pixmaps of None and ParentRelative are not considered valid values.  If either XtNlabel or XtNlabelImage has a non-NULL value, this resource is ignored. 

XtNclientData

 class:XtCClientDatatype:XtPointerdefault:NULLNULL’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: client data supplied to all callback procedures. 

XtNdefault

 class:XtCDefaulttype:Booleandefault:FALSEFALSE’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: indicates whether sub-object is default. 

Values: TRUE, FALSE

When used on the container, this resource indicates whether or not one of the sub-objects is a default item. When used on the sub-object, this resource specifies whether or not the sub-object is a default item. 

Values: TRUE, FALSE

If a sub-object is a default item, XtNdefault has a value of TRUE; else it has a value of FALSE. 

Setting this resource on the container widget indicates whether or not one of the sub-objects should be a default item.  If the application sets this value to: TRUE on the container, the container will set the first managed and mapped sub-object as the default item if a default item does not exist.  If the application sets this value to: FALSE the container will unset its default item if one exists.  Even if the application does not use XtNdefault in its item fields list, the container will correctly maintain the default item and the application can change the default item via OlFlatSetValues.

When used on the sub-object, this resource specifies whether or not the sub-object is a default item.  If more than one item is a set as a default item, a warning is generated and all but the first default item is unselected. 

XtNdim

 class:XtCDimtype:Booleandefault:FALSEFALSE’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: visually indicates whether sub-objects are in different states. 

Values: TRUE – the sub-object shows a dimmed visual indicating that the item represents the state of one or more objects, that as a group, are in different states.  FALSE – dim visual is not shown. 

XtNfont

 class:XtCFonttype:XFontStruct∗default:(OPEN LOOK font)(OPEN LOOK font)’u’access:SISI’u’

Action: displays the string specified by the XtNlabel resource. 

XtNfontColor

 class:XtCFontColortype:Pixeldefault:XtDefaultForegroundXtDefaultForeground’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: This resource specifies the foreground color of the sub-object’s label, even if the label is an XImage. 

XtNforeground

 class:XtCForegroundtype:Pixeldefault:XtDefaultForegroundXtDefaultForeground’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: gives pixel color used when drawing sub-object’s outline. 

XtNitems

 class:XtCItemstype:XtPointerdefault:NULLNULL’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: points to the list of sub-object items. 

This value must point to a static list since flat containers reference this list after initialization but do not cache its information. 

XtNitemFields

 class:XtCItemFieldstype:Stringdefault:NULLNULL’u’access:GIGI’u’

Action: list of resource names used to parse the records in XtNitems list. 

This resource does not have to point to static information since the flat container does not use this information after initialization.  Though the flat container does not reference this resource’s value after initialization, it holds onto it for responding to an XtGetValues() request and supplying it in the OlFlatCallData structure during callbacks.  Therefore, if the application plans on querying this resource, it’s recommended that the application make this resource point to static information. 

XtNitemsTouched

 class:XtCItemsTouchedtype:Booleandefault:FALSEFALSE’u’access:SGSG’u’

Action: indicated the need for the container to update the visuals

Values: TRUE, FALSE

Whenever the application modifies an item list directly, it must supply this resource (with a value of TRUE to the flat widget container so that the container can update the visual.  If the resource value is supplied, the flat widget container treats its current item list as a new list and hence, updates its entire visual.  Since the list is treated as a new list, the flat container may request a change in geometry from its parent. 

Note: It is not necessary to use this resource if the application modifies the list with the OlFlatSetValues procedure, nor is it necessary to use this resource whenever the application supplies a new list to the flat container. 

XtNlabel

 class:XtCLabeltype:Stringdefault:NULLNULL’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: is the text string that appears in the sub-object. 

XtNlabelImage

 class:XtCLabelImagetype:XImagedefault:NULLNULL’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: is an XImage pointer that can appear in a sub-object.  This resource is ignored if XtNlabel is non-NULL. 

XtNlabelJustify

 class:XtCLabelJustifytype:OlDefinedefault:OL_LEFTOL_LEFT’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: specifies how to justify sub-object’s label or image. 

Values: OL_LEFT, OL_CENTER, OL_RIGHT

This resource specifies the justification of the label or XImage that appears within a sub-object. 

XtNlabelTile

 class:XtCLabelTiletype:Booleandefault:FALSEFALSE’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: partially controls tiling of background.  The XtNlabelTile resource is ignored for text labels. 

Values: TRUE, FALSE

This resource augments the XtNlabelImage/XtNlabelPixmap resource to allow tiling of the sub-object’s background.  For an image/pixmap that is smaller than the sub-object’s background, the label area is tiled with the image/pixmap to fill the sub-object’s background if this resource is TRUE; otherwise, the label is placed as described by the XtNlabelJustify resource. 

XtNmappedWhenManaged

 class:XtCMappedWhenManagedtype:Booleandefault:TRUETRUE’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: specifies whether or not a managed sub-object is displayed. 

Note This resource is never inherited from the container, so its default value is always TRUE

Values: TRUE, FALSE

Regardless of this resource’s value, all managed sub-objects will be including when determining the layout. 

XtNnumItems

 class:XtCNumItemstype:Cardinaldefault:00’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: specifies the number of sub-object items. 

XtNnumItemFields

 class:XtCNumItemFieldstype:Cardinaldefault:00’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: indicates the number of resource names contained in XtNitemFields

XtNsameHeight

 class:XtCSameHeighttype:OlDefinedefault:OL_ALLOL_ALL’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: specifies the rows that are forced to the same height

Values: OL_ALL, OL_ROWS, OL_NONE

XtNsameWidth

 class:XtCSameWidthtype:OlDefinedefault:OL_COLUMNSOL_COLUMNS’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: specifies the columns that are forced to the same width. 

Values: OL_ALL, OL_COLUMNS, OL_NONE

XtNselectProc

 class:XtCCallbackProctype:XtCallbackProcdefault:NULLNULL’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: callback procedure for sub-object becoming selected by user input. 

XtNsensitive

 class:XtCSensitivetype:Booleandefault:TRUETRUE’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: Sensitivity to user input. 

Values: TRUE – the sub-object is sensitive to user input.  FALSE – is insensitive to user input and an inactive visual is displayed to indicate this state. 

Note: This resource is never inherited from the container, so its default value is always TRUE. 

XtNset

 class:XtCSettype:Booleandefault:FALSEFALSE’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: reflects current state of sub-object. 

Values: TRUE, FALSE

Note: This resource is never inherited from the container, so its default value is always FALSE.  Even if the application does not use XtNset in its item fields list, the container will correctly maintain the set item and the application can change the set item via OlFlatSetValues. 

XtNunselectProc

 class:XtCCallbackProctype:XtCallbackProcdefault:NULLNULL’u’access:SGISGI’u’

Action: callback procedure when the sub-object becomes unselected by user input.
