<chapter id='Translation_Management'>
<title>Translation Management</title>
<para>
Except under unusual circumstances,
widgets do not hardwire the mapping of user events into widget behavior
by using the event manager.
Instead, they provide a default mapping of events into behavior
that you can override.
</para>

<para>
The translation manager provides an interface to specify and manage the
mapping of X event sequences into widget-supplied functionality,
for example, calling procedure <emphasis remap='I'>Abc</emphasis> when the <emphasis remap='I'>y</emphasis> key
is pressed.
</para>

<para>
The translation manager uses two kinds of tables to perform translations:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing='compact'>
  <listitem>
    <para>
The action tables, which are in the widget class structure,
specify the mapping of externally available procedure name strings
to the corresponding procedure implemented by the widget class.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
A translation table, which is in the widget class structure,
specifies the mapping of event sequences to procedure name strings.
    </para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
You can override the translation table in the class structure
for a specific widget instance by supplying a different translation table
for the widget instance.  The resources
XtNtranslations and XtNbaseTranslations are used to modify the class
default translation table; see <xref linkend='Translation_Table_Management' />.
</para>
<sect1 id="Action_Tables">
<title>Action Tables</title>
<para>
All widget class records contain an action table,
an array of
<function>XtActionsRec</function>
entries.
In addition,
an application can register its own action tables with the translation manager
so that the translation tables it provides to widget instances can access
application functionality directly.
The translation action procedure pointer is of type
<xref linkend='XtActionProc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.

typedef struct _XtActionsRec {

</literallayout>
<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>string</emphasis> field is the name used in translation tables to access
the procedure.
The <emphasis remap='I'>proc</emphasis> field is a pointer to a procedure that implements
the functionality.
</para>

<para>
When the action list is specified as the
<function>CoreClassPart</function>
<emphasis remap='I'>actions</emphasis> field, the string pointed to by <emphasis remap='I'>string</emphasis> must be
permanently allocated prior to or during the execution of the class
initialization procedure and must not be subsequently deallocated.
</para>

<para>
Action procedures should not assume that the widget in which they
are invoked is realized; an accelerator specification can cause
an action procedure to be called for a widget that does not yet
have a window.  Widget writers should also note which of a widget's
callback lists are invoked from action procedures and warn clients
not to assume the widget is realized in those callbacks.
</para>

<para>
For example, a Pushbutton widget has procedures to take the following actions:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing='compact'>
  <listitem>
    <para>
Set the button to indicate it is activated.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
Unset the button back to its normal mode.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
Highlight the button borders.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
Unhighlight the button borders.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
Notify any callbacks that the button has been activated.
    </para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
The action table for the Pushbutton widget class makes these functions
available to translation tables written for Pushbutton or any subclass.
The string entry is the name used in translation tables.
The procedure entry (usually spelled identically to the string)
is the name of the C procedure that implements that function:
</para>
<literallayout >
XtActionsRec actionTable[] = {
	{"Set",	Set},
	{"Unset",	Unset},
	{"Highlight",	Highlight},
	{"Unhighlight",	Unhighlight}
	{"Notify",	Notify},
};
</literallayout>
<para>
The Intrinsics reserve all action names and parameters starting with
the characters ``Xt'' for future standard enhancements.  Users,
applications, and widgets should not declare action names or pass
parameters starting with these characters except to invoke specified
built-in Intrinsics functions.

The <emphasis remap='I'>actions</emphasis> and <emphasis remap='I'>num_actions</emphasis> fields of
<function>CoreClassPart</function>
specify the actions implemented by a widget class.  These are
automatically registered with the Intrinsics when the class is initialized
and must be allocated in writable storage prior to Core class_part
initialization, and never deallocated.  To save memory and optimize
access, the Intrinsics may overwrite the storage in order to compile the
list into an internal representation.

<para>
All widget instance records contain a translation table,
which is a resource with a default value specified elsewhere in the
class record.
A translation table specifies what action procedures are invoked for
an event or a sequence of events.
A translation table
is a string containing a list of translations from an event sequence
into one or more action procedure calls.
The translations are separated from one another by newline characters
(ASCII LF).
The complete syntax of translation tables is specified in Appendix B.

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>tm_table</emphasis> field of the
<function>CoreClassPart</function>
should be filled in at class initialization time with
the string containing the class's default translations.
If a class wants to inherit its superclass's translations,
it can store the special value
<function>XtInheritTranslations</function>
into <emphasis remap='I'>tm_table</emphasis>.
In Core's class part initialization procedure,
the Intrinsics compile this translation table into an efficient internal form.
Then, at widget creation time,
this default translation table is
combined with the XtNtranslations
and XtNbaseTranslations resources; see
<xref linkend='Translation_Table_Management' />.
</para>

<para>
The resource conversion mechanism automatically compiles
string translation tables that are specified in the resource database.
If a client uses translation tables that are not retrieved via a
resource conversion,
it must compile them itself using
<xref linkend='XtParseTranslationTable' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
</para>

<para>
The Intrinsics use the compiled form of the translation table to register the
necessary events with the event manager.
Widgets need do nothing other than specify the action and translation tables
for events to be processed by the translation manager.
</para>
<sect2 id="Event_Sequences">
<title>Event Sequences</title>
<para>
An event sequence is a comma-separated list of X event descriptions
that describes a specific sequence of X events to map to a set of
program actions.
Each X event description consists of three parts:
The X event type, a prefix consisting of the X modifier bits, and
an event-specific suffix.
</para>

<para>
Various abbreviations are supported to make translation tables easier
to read.  The events must match incoming events in left-to-right order
to trigger the action sequence.

<sect2 id="Action_Sequences">
<title>Action Sequences</title>
<para>
Action sequences specify what program or widget actions to take in response to
incoming X events. An action sequence consists of space-separated
action procedure call specifications.
Each action procedure call consists of the name of an action procedure and a
parenthesized list of zero or more comma-separated
string parameters to pass to that procedure.
The actions are invoked in left-to-right order as specified in the
action sequence.

<sect1 id="Translation_Table_Management">
<title>Translation Table Management</title>
<para>
Sometimes an application needs to merge
its own translations with a widget's translations.
For example, a window manager provides functions to move a window.
The window manager wishes to bind this operation to a specific
pointer button in the title bar without the possibility of user
override and bind it to other buttons that may be overridden by the user.
</para>

<para>
To accomplish this,
the window manager should first create the title bar
and then should merge the two translation tables into
the title bar's translations.
One translation table contains the translations that the window manager
wants only if the user has not specified a translation for a particular event
or event sequence (i.e., those that may be overridden).
The other translation table contains the translations that the
window manager wants regardless of what the user has specified.
</para>

Three Intrinsics functions support this merging:

<para>
To make it possible for users to easily modify translation tables in their
resource files,
the string-to-translation-table resource type converter
allows the string to specify whether the table should replace,
augment, or override any
existing translation table in the widget.
To specify this,
a pound sign (#) is given as the first character of the table
followed by one of the keywords ``replace'', ``augment'', or
``override'' to indicate
whether to replace, augment, or override the existing table.
The replace or merge
operation is performed during the
Core
instance initialization.
Each merge operation produces a new
translation resource value; if the original tables were shared by
other widgets, they are unaffected.  If no directive is
specified, ``#replace'' is assumed.
</para>

<para>
At instance initialization
the XtNtranslations resource is first fetched.  Then, if it was
not specified or did not contain ``#replace'', the
resource database is searched for the resource XtNbaseTranslations.
If XtNbaseTranslations is found, it is merged into the widget class
translation table.  Then the widget <emphasis remap='I'>translations</emphasis> field is
merged into the result or into the class translation table if
XtNbaseTranslations was not found.  This final table is then
stored into the widget <emphasis remap='I'>translations</emphasis> field.  If the XtNtranslations
resource specified ``#replace'', no merge is done.
If neither XtNbaseTranslations or XtNtranslations are specified,
the class translation table is copied into the widget instance.

<sect1 id="Using_Accelerators">
<title>Using Accelerators</title>
<para>
It is often desirable to be able to bind events in one widget to actions in
another.
In particular,
it is often useful to be able to invoke menu actions from the keyboard.
The Intrinsics provide a facility, called accelerators, that lets you
accomplish this.
An accelerator table is a translation table that is bound with its
actions in the context of a particular widget, the <emphasis remap='I'>source</emphasis> widget.
The accelerator table can then be installed on one or more <emphasis remap='I'>destination</emphasis> widgets.
When an event sequence in the destination widget would cause an
accelerator action to be taken, and if the source widget is sensitive,
the actions are executed as though triggered by the same event sequence
in the accelerator source
widget.  The event is
passed to the action procedure without modification.  The action
procedures used within accelerators must not assume that the source
widget is realized nor that any fields of the event are in reference
to the source widget's window if the widget is realized.
</para>

<para>
Each widget instance contains that widget's exported accelerator table
as a resource.
Each class of widget exports a method that takes a
displayable string representation of the accelerators
so that widgets can display their current accelerators.
The representation is the accelerator table in canonical
translation table form (see Appendix B).
The display_accelerator procedure pointer is of type
<xref linkend='XtStringProc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.

<para>
Accelerators can be specified in resource files,
and the string representation is the same as for a translation table.
However,
the interpretation of the
<function>#augment</function>
and
<function>#override</function>
directives applies to
what will happen when the accelerator is installed;
that is, whether or not the accelerator translations will override the
translations in the destination widget.
The default is
<function>#augment</function>,
which means that the accelerator translations have lower priority
than the destination translations.
The
<function>#replace</function>
directive is ignored for accelerator tables.

</variablelist>

<para>
<xref linkend='XtRegisterGrabAction' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
adds the specified <emphasis remap='I'>action_proc</emphasis> to a list known to
the translation manager.  When a widget is realized, or when the
translations of a realized widget or the accelerators installed on a
realized widget are modified, its translation table and any installed
accelerators are scanned for action procedures on this list.
If any are invoked on
<function>ButtonPress</function>
or
<function>KeyPress</function>
events as the only or final event
in a sequence, the Intrinsics will call
<xref linkend='XtGrabButton' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
or
<xref linkend='XtGrabKey' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
for the widget with every button or KeyCode which maps to the
event detail field, passing the specified <emphasis remap='I'>owner_events</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>event_mask</emphasis>,
<emphasis remap='I'>pointer_mode</emphasis>, and <emphasis remap='I'>keyboard_mode</emphasis>.  For
<function>ButtonPress</function>
events, the modifiers
specified in the grab are determined directly from the translation
specification and <emphasis remap='I'>confine_to</emphasis> and <emphasis remap='I'>cursor</emphasis> are specified as
<function>None</function>.
For
<function>KeyPress</function>
events, if the translation table entry specifies colon (:) in
the modifier list, the modifiers are determined by calling the key
translator procedure registered for the display and calling
<xref linkend='XtGrabKey' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
for every combination of standard modifiers which map the KeyCode to
the specified event detail KeySym, and ORing any modifiers specified in
the translation table entry, and <emphasis remap='I'>event_mask</emphasis> is ignored.  If the
translation table entry does not specify colon in the modifier list,
the modifiers specified in the grab are those specified in the
translation table entry only.  For both
<function>ButtonPress</function>
and
<function>KeyPress</function>
events, don't-care modifiers are ignored unless the translation entry
explicitly specifies ``Any'' in the <emphasis remap='I'>modifiers</emphasis> field.
</para>

<para>
If the specified <emphasis remap='I'>action_proc</emphasis> is already registered for the calling
process, the new values will replace the previously specified values
for any widgets that become realized following the call, but existing
grabs are not altered on currently realized widgets.
</para>

<para>
When translations or installed accelerators are modified for a
realized widget, any previous key or button grabs registered
as a result of the old bindings are released if they do not appear in
the new bindings and are not explicitly grabbed by the client with
<xref linkend='XtGrabKey' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
or
<xref linkend='XtGrabButton' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
