They extend the -fundamental abstractions provided by the X Window System while still -remaining independent of any particular user interface policy or -style. -.LP -The Intrinsics use object-oriented programming techniques to supply a -consistent architecture for constructing and composing user interface -components, known as widgets. This -allows programmers to extend a widget set in new ways, either by -deriving new widgets from existing ones (subclassing) or by writing -entirely new widgets following the established conventions. -.LP -When the \*(xI were first conceived, the root of the object -hierarchy was a widget class named -Core. -.IN "Core" -In Release 4 of the -\*(xI, three nonwidget superclasses were added above Core. -These superclasses are described in Chapter 12. The name of the class -now at the root of the Intrinsics class hierarchy is -Object. -.IN "Object" -The remainder of this -specification refers uniformly to \fIwidgets\fP and \fICore\fP -as if they were the -base class for all \*(xI operations. The argument descriptions -for each Intrinsics procedure and Chapter 12 describe which operations -are defined for the nonwidget superclasses of Core. The reader may -determine by context whether a specific reference to \fIwidget\fP -actually means ``widget'' or ``object.'' - -.NH 2 -Languages -.XS -\fB\*(SN Languages\fP -.XE -.LP -The Intrinsics are intended to be used for two programming purposes. -Programmers writing widgets will be using most of the facilities -provided by the -Intrinsics to construct user interface components from the simple, such -as buttons and scrollbars, to the complex, such as control panels and -property sheets. Application programmers will use a much smaller subset of -the Intrinsics procedures in combination with one or more sets of widgets to -construct and present complete user interfaces on an X display. The -Intrinsics -programming interfaces primarily -intended for application use are designed to be callable from most -procedural programming languages. Therefore, most arguments are passed by -reference rather than by value. The interfaces primarily -intended for widget programmers are expected to be used principally -from the C language. In these cases, the usual C programming -conventions apply. In this specification, the term \fIclient\fP refers to -any module, widget, or application that calls an Intrinsics procedure. -.LP -Applications that use the \*(xI mechanisms -must include the header files -.Pn < X11/Intrinsic.h > -and -.Pn < X11/StringDefs.h >, -or their equivalent, -and they may also include -.Pn < X11/Xatoms.h > -and -.Pn < X11/Shell.h >. -In addition, widget implementations should include -.Pn < X11/IntrinsicP.h > -instead of -.Pn < X11/Intrinsic.h >. -.LP -The applications must also include the additional header files for -each widget class that they are to use (for example, -.Pn < X11/Xaw/Label.h > -or -.Pn < X11/Xaw/Scrollbar.h >). -On a POSIX-based system, -the \*(xI object library file is named -.PN libXt.a -and is usually referenced as \-lXt when linking the application. - -.NH 2 -Procedures and Macros -.LP -.XS -\fB\*(SN Procedures and Macros\fP -.XE -All functions defined in this specification except those specified below -may be implemented as C macros with arguments. C applications may use -``#undef'' to remove a macro definition and ensure that the actual function -is referenced. Any such macro will expand to a single expression that -has the same precedence as a function call and that evaluates each -of its arguments exactly once, fully protected by parentheses, so that -arbitrary expressions may be used as arguments. -.LP -The following symbols are macros that do not have function -equivalents and that may expand their arguments in a manner other -than that described above: -.PN XtCheckSubclass , -.PN XtNew , -.PN XtNumber , -.PN XtOffsetOf , -.PN XtOffset , -and -.PN XtSetArg . - -.NH 2 -Widgets -.LP -.XS -\fB\*(SN Widgets\fP -.XE -.LP -The fundamental abstraction and data type of the \*(tk is the widget, -which is a combination of an X window and its associated -input and display semantics -and which is dynamically allocated and contains state information. -Some widgets display information (for example, text or graphics), -and others are merely containers for other widgets (for example, a menu box). -Some widgets are output-only and do not react to pointer or keyboard input, -and others change their display in response to input -and can invoke functions that an application has attached to them. -.LP -Every widget belongs to exactly one widget class, which is statically -allocated and initialized and which contains the operations allowable on -widgets of that class. -Logically, a widget class is the procedures and data associated -with all widgets belonging to that class. -These procedures and data can be inherited by -subclasses. -Physically, a widget class is a pointer to a structure. -The contents of this structure are constant for all widgets of the widget -class but will vary from class to class. -(Here, ``constant'' means the class structure is initialized at compile time -and never changed, except for a one-time class initialization -and in-place compilation of resource lists, -which takes place when the first widget of the class or subclass is created.) -For further information, -see Section 2.5. -.LP -The distribution of the declarations and code for a new widget class -among a public .h file for application programmer use, a private .h file -for widget programmer use, -and the implementation .c file is described in Section 1.6. -The predefined widget classes adhere to these conventions. -.LP -A widget instance is composed of two parts: -.IP \(bu 5 -A data structure which contains instance-specific values. -.IP \(bu 5 -A class structure which contains information that is applicable to -all widgets of that class. -.LP -Much of the input/output of a widget (for example, fonts, colors, sizes, -or border widths) is customizable by users. -.LP -This chapter discusses the base widget classes, -Core, Composite, and Constraint, and -ends with a discussion of widget classing. - -.NH 3 -Core Widgets -.XS -\*(SN Core Widgets -.XE -.LP -.IN "Core" "" "@DEF@" -The -Core -widget class contains the definitions of fields common to all widgets. -All widgets classes are subclasses of the -Core class, -which is defined by the -.PN CoreClassPart -and -.PN CorePart -structures. - -.NH 4 -CoreClassPart Structure -.XS -\*(SN CoreClassPart Structure -.XE -.LP -All widget classes contain the fields defined in the -.PN CoreClassPart -structure. -.LP -.IN "CoreClassPart" "" "@DEF@" -.sM -.Ds 0 -.TA .5i 3.5i -.ta .5i 3.5i -typedef struct { - WidgetClass superclass;

be as complicated as -how other children should change if this child is moved or resized. -Constraint -widgets let a parent define constraints as resources that are supplied for their children. -For example, if the -Constraint -parent defines the maximum sizes for its children, -these new size resources are retrieved for each child as if they were -resources that were defined by the child widget's class. -Accordingly, -constraint resources may be included in the argument list or resource file just -like any other resource for the child. -.LP -Constraint -widgets have all the responsibilities of normal composite widgets -and, in addition, must process and act upon the constraint information -associated with each of their children. -.LP -To make it easy for widgets and the \*(xI to keep track of the -constraints associated with a child, -every widget has a \fIconstraints\fP field, -which is the address of a parent-specific structure that contains -constraint information

constraint data to the constraint record defined by their superclass. -To allow this, widget writers should define the constraint -records in their private .h file by using the same conventions as used for -widget records. -For example, a widget class that needs to maintain a maximum -width and height for each child might define its constraint record as -follows: -.LP -.Ds -.TA .5i 3i -.ta .5i 3i -typedef struct { - Dimension max_width, max_height; -} MaxConstraintPart; - -typedef struct { - MaxConstraintPart max; -} MaxConstraintRecord, *MaxConstraint; -.De -.LP -A subclass of this widget

procedures that are defined and implemented by the parent, -but they are called whenever actions are performed on the parent's children. -.LP -The -.PN XtCreateWidget -function uses the

get the values or -set the values of constraints associated with that child. -.PN XtSetValues -then calls the constraint set_values procedures so that the parent can -recompute derived constraint fields and move or resize the child -as appropriate. -If a -Constraint -widget class or any of its superclasses have declared a -.PN ConstraintClassExtension -record in the -.PN ConstraintClassPart

windows outside of the -window hierarchy defined by the widget tree. -Each pop-up child has a window that is a descendant of the root window, -so that the pop-up window is not clipped by the pop-up widget's parent window. -.\"One thing that all pop-ups in common is that they break -.\"the widget/window hierarchy. -.\"Pop-ups windows are not geometry constrained by their parent widget. -.\"Instead, they are window children of the root. -Therefore, pop-ups are created and attached differently to their widget parent -than normal widget children. -.LP -A parent of a pop-up widget does not actively manage its pop-up children; -in fact, it usually does not operate upon them in any way. -The \fIpopup_list\fP field in the -.PN CorePart -structure contains the list of its pop-up children. -This pop-up list exists mainly to provide the proper place in the widget -hierarchy for the pop-up to get resources and to provide a place for -.PN XtDestroyWidget -to look for all extant children. -.LP -A -composite -widget can have both normal and pop-up children. -A pop-up can be popped up from almost anywhere, not just by its parent. -The term \fIchild\fP always refers to a normal, geometry-managed widget -on the composite widget's list of children, and the term -\fIpop-up child\fP always refers to a -widget on the pop-up list. -.IN "pop-up" "" "@DEF@" -.IN "pop-up" "list" -.IN

example, a dialog box that does not prevent -continued interaction with the rest of the application) -can usually be manipulated by the window manager -and looks like any other application window from the -user's point of view. -The application main window itself is a special case of a modeless pop-up. -.IP \(bu 5 -Modal pop-ups -.IP -A modal pop-up (for example, a dialog box that requires user input to -continue) -can sometimes be manipulated by the window manager, -and except for events that occur in the dialog box, -it disables user-event distribution to the rest of the application. -.IP \(bu 5 -Spring-loaded pop-ups -.IP -A spring-loaded pop-up (for example, a menu) -can seldom be manipulated by the window manager, -and except for events that occur in the pop-up or its descendants, -it disables user-event distribution to all other applications. -.LP -Modal pop-ups and spring-loaded pop-ups are very similar and should be coded as -if they were the same. -In fact, the same widget (for example, a ButtonBox or Menu widget) can be used both -as a modal pop-up and as a spring-loaded pop-up within the same application. -The main difference is that spring-loaded pop-ups are brought up -with the pointer and, because of the grab that the pointer button causes, -require different processing by the \*(xI. -Furthermore, all user input remap events occurring outside the spring-loaded -pop-up (e.g., in a descendant) are also delivered to the spring-loaded -pop-up after they have been dispatched to the appropriate descendant, so -that, for example, button-up can take down a spring-loaded pop-up no -matter where the -button-up occurs. -.LP -Any kind of pop-up, in turn, can pop up other widgets. -Modal and spring-loaded pop-ups can constrain user events to -the most recent such pop-up or allow user events to be dispatched -to any of the modal or spring-loaded pop-ups -currently mapped. -.LP -Regardless of their type, -all pop-up widget classes are responsible for

procedure" -.IN "Geometry Management" -.IN "Configure Window" -A widget does not directly control its size and location; -rather, its parent is responsible for controlling them. -Although the position of children is usually left up to their parent, -the widgets themselves often have the best idea of their optimal sizes -and, possibly, preferred locations. -.LP -To resolve physical layout conflicts between sibling widgets and between -a widget and its parent, the \*(xI provide the geometry management mechanism. -Almost all -composite -widgets have a geometry manager specified in the \fIgeometry_manager\fP field -in the widget class record that is responsible for the size, position, and -stacking order of the widget's children. -The only exception is fixed boxes, -which create their children themselves and can ensure that -their children will never make a geometry request. - -.NH 2 -Initiating Geometry Changes -.LP -.XS -\*(SN Initiating Geometry Changes -.XE -Parents, children, and clients each initiate geometry changes differently. -Because a parent has absolute control of its children's geometry, -it changes the geometry directly by calling -.PN XtMove\%Widget , -.PN XtResizeWidget , -or -.PN XtConfigureWidget . -A child must ask its parent for a geometry change by calling -.PN XtMakeGeometryRequest -or -.PN XtMakeResizeRequest . -An application or other client code initiates a geometry change by calling -.PN XtSetValues -on the appropriate geometry fields, -thereby giving the widget the opportunity to modify or reject the client -request before it gets propagated to the parent and the opportunity -to respond appropriately to the parent's reply. -.LP -When a widget that needs to change its size, position, border width, -or stacking depth asks its parent's geometry manager to make the desired -changes, -the geometry manager can allow the request, disallow the request, or -suggest a compromise. -.LP -When the geometry manager is asked to change the geometry of a child, -the geometry manager may also rearrange and resize any or all -of the other children that it controls. -The geometry manager can move children around freely using -.PN XtMoveWidget . -When it resizes a child (that is, changes the width, height, or -border width) other than the one making the request, -it should do so by calling -.PN XtResizeWidget . -The requesting child may be given special treatment; see Section 6.5. -It can simultaneously move and resize a child with a single call to -.PN XtConfigureWidget . -.LP -Often, geometry managers find that they can satisfy a request only if -they can reconfigure a widget that they are not in control of; in particular, -the -composite -widget may want to change its own size. -In this case, -the geometry manager makes a request to its parent's geometry manager. -Geometry requests can cascade this way to arbitrary depth. -.LP -Because such cascaded arbitration of widget geometry can involve extended -negotiation, -windows are not actually allocated to widgets at application -startup until all widgets are satisfied with their geometry; -see Sections 2.5 and 2.6. -.NT Notes -.IP 1. 5 -The \*(xI treatment of stacking requests is deficient in several areas. -Stacking requests for unrealized widgets are granted but will have no effect. -In addition, there is no way to do an -.PN XtSetValues -that will generate a stacking geometry request. -.IP 2. 5 -After a successful geometry request (one that returned -.PN XtGeometryYes ), -a widget does not know whether its resize procedure has been

-Widgets register procedures that are to be called -when an event or class of events occurs in that widget. -.LP -A typical application consists of startup code followed by an event loop -that reads events and dispatches them by calling -the procedures that widgets have registered. -The default event loop provided by the \*(xI is -.PN XtAppMainLoop . -.LP -The event manager is a collection of functions to perform the following tasks: -.IP \(bu 5 -Add or remove event sources other than X server events (in particular, -timer interrupts, file input, or POSIX signals). -.IP \(bu 5 -Query the

widget record with a corresponding -resource entry in the \fIresources\fP list of the widget or any of its -superclasses. -This means that the field is -settable by -.PN XtCreateWidget -(by naming the field in the argument list), by an -entry in a resource file (by using either the name or class), and by -.PN XtSetValues . -In addition, it is readable by -.PN XtGetValues . -Not all fields in a widget record are resources. -Some are for bookkeeping use by the -generic routines (like \fImanaged\fP and \fIbeing_destroyed\fP). -Others can be for local bookkeeping, -and still others are derived from resources -(many graphics contexts and pixmaps). -.LP -Widgets typically need to obtain a large set of resources at widget -creation time. -Some of the resources come from the argument list supplied in the call to -.PN XtCreateWidget , -some from the resource database, -and some from the internal defaults specified by the widget. -Resources are obtained first from the argument list, -then from the resource database for all resources not specified -in the argument list, -and last, from the internal default, if needed. - -.NH 2 -Resource Lists -.XS -\*(SN Resource Lists -.XE -.LP -.IN "Resource Management" -A resource entry specifies a field in the widget, -the textual name and class of the field that argument lists -and external resource files use to refer to the field, -and

field, the strings pointed to by \fIresource_name\fP, -\fIresource_class\fP, \fIresource_type\fP, and \fIdefault_type\fP must -be permanently allocated prior to or during the execution of the class -initialization procedure and must not be subsequently deallocated. - -.LP -The \fIresource_name\fP field contains the name used by clients to access the field -in the widget. -By convention, it starts with a lowercase letter -and is spelled exactly like the field name, -except all underscores (_) are deleted and the next letter is replaced by its -uppercase counterpart. -For example, the resource name for background_pixel becomes backgroundPixel. -Resource names beginning with the two-character -sequence ``xt'', and resource classes beginning with the two-character -sequence ``Xt'' are reserved to the \*(xI for future standard and -implementation-dependent uses. -Widget header files typically contain a symbolic name for each resource name. -All resource names, classes, and types used by the \*(xI are named in -.Pn < X11/StringDefs.h >. -The \*(xI's symbolic resource names begin with -``XtN'' -and are followed by the string name (for example, XtNbackgroundPixel -for backgroundPixel). - -.LP -The \fIresource_class\fP field contains the class string used in resource -specification files to identify the field. -A resource class provides two functions: -.IP \(bu 5 -It isolates an application from different representations that widgets -can use for a similar resource. -.IP \(bu 5 -It lets you specify values for several actual resources with a single name. -A resource class should be chosen to span a group of closely related fields. -.LP -For example, -a widget can have several pixel resources: background, foreground, -border, block cursor, pointer cursor, and so on. -Typically, the background defaults to white -and everything else to black. -The resource class for each of these resources in the resource list -should be chosen so that it takes the minimal number of entries -in the resource database to make the background ivory -and everything else darkblue. -.LP -In this case, the background pixel should have a resource class of -``Background'' -and all the other pixel entries a resource class of -``Foreground''. -Then, the resource file needs only two lines to -change all pixels to ivory or darkblue: -.LP -.Ds 5 -.TA .5i 1.5i -.ta .5i 1.5i -*Background: ivory -*Foreground: darkblue -.De -.LP -Similarly, a widget may have several font resources (such as normal and bold), -but all fonts should have the class Font. -Thus, changing all fonts simply requires only a single line in the -default resource file: -.LP -.Ds 5 -.TA .5i 3i -.ta .5i 3i -*Font: 6x13 -.De -.LP -By convention, -resource classes are always spelled starting with a capital letter -to distinguish them from resource names. -Their symbolic names are preceded with -``XtC'' -(for example, XtCBackground). -.LP -The \fIresource_type\fP field gives the physical representation type of the resource -and also encodes information about the specific usage of the field. -By convention, it starts with an uppercase letter and is -spelled identically to the type name of the field. -The resource type is used when resources are fetched to -convert from the resource database format (usually -.PN String ) -or the format of the resource default value -(almost anything,

reasons (for example, a misspelled entry in a -resource file). -.LP -Two special representation types -(XtRImmediate -and -XtRCallProc) -are usable only as default resource types. -XtRImmediate

resource, -coerced to an -.PN XtPointer . -No conversion is possible, since there is no source representation type. -XtRCallProc -indicates that the value in the \fIdefault_addr\fP field is a procedure -pointer. -This procedure is automatically invoked with the widget, -\fIresource_offset\fP, and a pointer to an -.PN XrmValue -in which to store the result. -XtRCallProc -procedure pointers

assigned: +<function>XtREditMode</function>, +<function>XtRJustify</function>, +and +<function>XtROrientation</function>. +</para> + +<para> +The <emphasis remap='I'>resource_size</emphasis> field is the size of the physical representation in bytes; +you should specify it as +<function>sizeof</function>(type) so that the +compiler fills in the value. +The <emphasis remap='I'>resource_offset</emphasis> field is the offset in bytes of the field +within the widget. +You should use the +<xref linkend='XtOffsetOf' xrefstyle='select: title'/> +macro to retrieve this value. +The <emphasis remap='I'>default_type</emphasis> field is the representation type of the default +resource value. +If <emphasis remap='I'>default_type</emphasis> is different from <emphasis remap='I'>resource_type</emphasis> and the default value +is needed, +the resource manager invokes a conversion procedure from <emphasis remap='I'>default_type</emphasis> +to <emphasis remap='I'>resource_type</emphasis>. +Whenever possible, +the default type should be identical to the resource type in order +to minimize widget creation time. +However, there are sometimes no values of the type that the program +can easily specify. +In this case, +it should be a value for which the converter is guaranteed to work (for example, +<function>XtDefaultForeground</function> +for a pixel resource). +The <emphasis remap='I'>default_addr</emphasis> field specifies the address of the default resource value. +As a special case, if <emphasis remap='I'>default_type</emphasis> is +<function>XtRString</function>, +then the value in the <emphasis remap='I'>default_addr</emphasis> field is the pointer to +the string rather than a pointer to the pointer. +The default is used if a resource is not specified in the argument list +or in the resource database or if the conversion from the representation +type stored in the resource database fails, +which can happen for various reasons (for example, a misspelled entry in a +resource file). +</para> + +<para> +Two special representation types +(XtRImmediate +and +XtRCallProc) +are usable only as default resource types.

correct representation type for the resource, +coerced to an +<function>XtPointer</function>. +No conversion is possible, since there is no source representation type. +XtRCallProc +indicates that the value in the <emphasis remap='I'>default_addr</emphasis> field is a procedure +pointer. +This procedure is automatically invoked with the widget, +<emphasis remap='I'>resource_offset</emphasis>, and a pointer to an +<function>XrmValue</function> +in which to store the result. +XtRCallProc +procedure pointers are of type +<xref linkend='XtResourceDefaultProc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>. +</para> +
