Command widgets are often referred to as ``push buttons.'' When the pointer is over a Command widget, the widget becomes highlighted by drawing a rectangle around its perimeter. This highlighting indicates that the widget is ready for selection. When mouse button 1 is pressed, the Command widget indicates that it has been selected by reversing its foreground and background colors. When the mouse button is released, the Command widget's \fBnotify\fP action is invoked, calling all functions on its callback list. If the pointer is moved off of the widget before the pointer button is released, the widget reverts to its normal foreground and background colors, and releasing the pointer button has no effect. This behavior allows the user to cancel an action. .NH 3 Resources .LP When creating a Command widget instance, the following resources are retrieved from the argument list or from the resource database: .LP .IN "Command widget" "resources" .TS H expand; lw(1i) lw(1i) lw(1i) lw(.5i) lw(2i). _ .sp 3p .TB Name Class Type Notes Default Value .sp 3p _ .TH .R .sp 3p accelerators Accelerators AcceleratorTable NULL ancestorSensitive AncestorSensitive Boolean D True background Background Pixel XtDefaultBackground backgroundPixmap Pixmap Pixmap XtUnspecifiedPixmap bitmap Bitmap Pixmap None borderColor BorderColor Pixel XtDefaultForeground borderPixmap Pixmap Pixmap XtUnspecifiedPixmap borderWidth BorderWidth Dimension 1 callback Callback XtCallbackList NULL colormap Colormap Colormap Parent's Colormap cornerRoundPercent CornerRoundPercent Dimension 25 cursor Cursor Cursor None cursorName Cursor String NULL depth Depth int C Parent's Depth destroyCallback Callback XtCallbackList NULL encoding Encoding UnsignedChar XawTextEncoding8bit font Font XFontStruct XtDefaultFont foreground Foreground Pixel XtDefaultForeground height Height Dimension A graphic height + 2 * \fBinternalHeight\fP highlightThickness Thickness Dimension A 2 (0 if Shaped) insensitiveBorder Insensitive Pixmap GreyPixmap internalHeight Height Dimension 2 internalWidth Width Dimension 4 international International Boolean C False justify Justify Justify XtJustifyCenter (center) label Label String name of widget leftBitmap LeftBitmap Bitmap None mappedWhenManaged MappedWhenManaged Boolean True pointerColor Foreground Pixel XtDefaultForeground pointerColorBackground Background Pixel XtDefaultBackground resize Resize Boolean True screen Screen Screen R Parent's Screen sensitive Sensitive Boolean True shapeStyle ShapeStyle ShapeStyle Rectangle translations Translations TranslationTable See below width Width Dimension A graphic width + 2 * \fBinternalWidth\fP x Position Position 0 y Position Position 0 .sp 3p _ .TE \" Resource Descriptions .Ac .As .Bg .Gp .Bm .Bc .Bp .Bw .Cb Bold .Cm .Cr Bold .Cu .Cn .Dp .Dc .Le .Lf .Ls .Lg .Hw .Ht Bold .Ib .Ih .In .Ju .La .Ll .Mm .Pf .Pb .Re .Sc .Se .Ss Bold .Tr .Xy .NH 3 Command Actions .IN "Command widget" "actions" .LP The Command widget supports the following actions: .IP \(bu 5 Switching the button's interior between the foreground and background colors with \fBset\fP, \fBunset\fP, and \fBreset\fP. .IP \(bu 5 Processing application callbacks with \fBnotify\fP .IP \(bu 5 Switching the internal border between highlighted and unhighlighted states with \fBhighlight\fP and \fBunhighlight\fP .LP .IN "Command widget" "translation bindings" The following are the default translation bindings used by the Command widget: .LP .Ds 0 .TA .5i 2.25i .ta .5i 2.25i : highlight(\|) : reset(\|) : set(\|) : notify(\|) unset(\|) .De .LP The full list of actions supported by Command is: .IP \fBhighlight\fP(\fIcondition\fP) 1.5i Displays the internal highlight border in the color (\fBforeground\fP or \fBbackground\fP ) that contrasts with the interior color of the Command widget. The conditions \fBWhenUnset\fP and \fBAlways\fP are understood by this action procedure. If no argument is passed, \fBWhenUnset\fP is assumed. .IP \fBunhighlight\fP(\|) 1.5i Displays the internal highlight border in the color (\fBforeground\fP or \fBbackground\fP ) that matches the interior color of the Command widget. .IP \fBset\fP(\|) 1.5i Enters the \fIset\fP state, in which \fBnotify\fP is possible. This action causes the button to display its interior in the \fBforeground\fP color. The label or bitmap is displayed in the \fBbackground\fP color. .IP \fBunset\fP(\|) 1.5i Cancels the \fIset\fP state and displays the interior of the button in the \fBbackground\fP color. The label or bitmap is displayed in the \fBforeground\fP color. .IP \fBreset\fP(\|) 1.5i Cancels any \fIset\fP or \fIhighlight\fP and displays the interior of the button in the \fBbackground\fP color, with the label or bitmap displayed in the \fBforeground\fP color. .IP \fBnotify\fP(\|) 1.5i When the button is in the \fBset\fP state this action calls all functions in the callback list named by the \fBcallback\fP resource. The value of the \fIcall_data\fP argument passed to these functions is undefined. .LP A very common alternative to registering callbacks is to augment a Command's translations with an action performing the desired function. This often takes the form of: .LP .Ds 0 .TA .5i 2.25i .ta .5i 2.25i *Myapp*save.translations: #augment ,: Save() .De .LP .NT When a bitmap of depth greater that one (1) is specified the \fIset\fP(), \fIunset\fP(), and \fIreset\fP() actions have no effect, since there are no foreground and background colors used in a multi-plane pixmap. .NE
