XmDrawnButton


NAME

XmDrawnButton - The DrawnButton widget class

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/DrawnB.h>

DESCRIPTION

The DrawnButton widget consists of an empty widget window surrounded by a shadow border. It provides the application developer with a graphics area that can have PushButton input semantics.

Callback types are defined for widget exposure and widget resize to allow the application to redraw or reposition its graphics. If the DrawnButton widget has a highlight and shadow thickness, the application should not draw in that area. To avoid drawing in the highlight and shadow area, create the graphics context with a clipping rectangle for drawing in the widget. The clipping rectangle should take into account the size of the widget's highlight thickness and shadow.

Classes

DrawnButton inherits behavior and resources from Core, XmPrimitive, and XmLabel Classes.

The class pointer is xmDrawnButtonWidgetClass.

The class name is XmDrawnButton.

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).

Callback Information

A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback:

typedef struct
{
   int     reason;
   XEvent  * event;
   Window  window;
   int     click_count;
} XmDrawnButtonCallbackStruct;
reason
Indicates why the callback was invoked.
event
Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback. This is NULL for XmNresizeCallback.
window
Is set to the window ID in which the event occurred.
click_count
Contains the number of clicks in the last multiclick sequence if the XmNmultiClick resource is set to XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, otherwise it contains 1. The activate callback is invoked for each click if XmNmultiClick is set to XmMULTICLICK_KEEP.

Translations

XmDrawnButton includes translations from Primitive. Additional XmDrawnButton translations are listed below. These translations may not directly correspond to a translation table.

BSelect Press:       Arm()
BSelect Click:       Activate()
                     Disarm()
BSelect Release:     Activate()
                     Disarm()
BSelect Press 2+:    MultiArm()
BSelect Release 2+:  MultiActivate()
KSelect:             ArmAndActivate()
KHelp:               Help()

Action Routines

The XmDrawnButton action routines are described below:

Activate():
If XmNpushButtonEnabled is True, redraws the shadow in the unselected state; otherwise, redraws the shadow according to XmNshadowType. If the pointer is within the DrawnButton, calls the XmNactivateCallback callbacks.
Arm():
If XmNpushButtonEnabled is True, redraws the shadow in the selected state; otherwise, redraws the shadow according to XmNshadowType. Calls the callbacks for XmNarmCallback.
ArmAndActivate():
If XmNpushButtonEnabled is True, redraws the shadow in the selected state; otherwise, redraws the shadow according to XmNshadowType. Calls the callbacks for XmNarmCallback.

Arranges for the following to happen, either immediately or at a later time: If XmNpushButtonEnabled is True, the shadow is redrawn in the unselected state; otherwise, the shadow is redrawn according to XmNshadowType. The callbacks for XmNactivateCallback and XmNdisarmCallback are called.

Disarm():
Marks the DrawnButton as unselected and calls the callbacks for XmNdisarmCallback.
Help():
Calls the callbacks for XmNhelpCallback if any exist. If there are no help callbacks for this widget, this action calls the help callbacks for the nearest ancestor that has them.
MultiActivate():
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, this action does nothing.

If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, this action does the following: Increments click_count in the callback structure. If XmNpushButtonEnabled is True, redraws the shadow in the unselected state; otherwise, redraws the shadow according to XmNshadowType. If the pointer is within the DrawnButton, calls the XmNactivateCallback callbacks. Calls the callbacks for XmNdisarmCallback.

MultiArm():
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, this action does nothing.

If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, this action does the following: If XmNpushButtonEnabled is True, redraws the shadow in the selected state; otherwise, redraws the shadow according to XmNshadowType. Calls the callbacks for XmNarmCallback.

Additional Behavior

This widget has the additional behavior described below:

<EnterWindow>:
Draws the shadow in its selected state if XmNpushButtonEnabled is True and if the cursor leaves and re-enters the window while BSelect is pressed.
<LeaveWindow>:
Draws the shadow in its unselected state if XmNpushButtonEnabled is True and if the cursor leaves the window while BSelect is pressed.
