XmProcessTraversal
NAME
XmProcessTraversal - A function that determines
which component receives keyboard events when a widget has the focus
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Boolean XmProcessTraversal (widget, direction)
Widget widget;
XmTraversalDirection direction;
DESCRIPTION
XmProcessTraversal determines which component of a
hierarchy receives keyboard events when the hierarchy that contains
the given widget has keyboard focus. Using
XmProcessTraversal to traverse to MenuBars, Pulldown
MenuPanes, or Popup MenuPanes is not supported.
- widget
- Specifies the widget ID of the widget whose hierarchy is to be
traversed. The hierarchy is only traversed up to the top of the
shell. If that shell does not currently have the focus, any changes to
the element with focus within that shell will not occur until the next
time the shell receives focus.
- direction
- Specifies the direction of traversal
The direction parameter can have the following values,
which cause the routine to take the corresponding actions:
- XmTRAVERSE_CURRENT - Finds the hierarchy and
the tab group that contain widget. If this tab group is not
the active tab group, makes it the active tab group. If
widget is an item in the active tab group, makes it the
active item. If widget is the active tab group, makes the
first traversable item in the tab group the active item.
- XmTRAVERSE_DOWN - Finds the hierarchy that
contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab
group and makes the item below it the active item. If there is no
item below, wraps.
- XmTRAVERSE_HOME - Finds the hierarchy that
contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab
group and makes the first traversable item in the tab group the active
item.
- XmTRAVERSE_LEFT - Finds the hierarchy that
contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab
group and makes the item to the left the active item. If there is no
item to the left, wraps.
- XmTRAVERSE_NEXT - Finds the hierarchy that
contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab
group and makes the next item in child order the active item.
- XmTRAVERSE_NEXT_TAB_GROUP - Finds the
hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active tab group
(if any) and makes the next tab group the active tab group in the
hierarchy.
- XmTRAVERSE_PREV - Finds the hierarchy that
contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab
group and makes the previous item in child order the active item.
- XmTRAVERSE_PREV_TAB_GROUP - Finds the
hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active tab group
(if any) and makes the previous tab group the active tab group in the
hierarchy.
- XmTRAVERSE_RIGHT - Finds the hierarchy that
contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab
group and makes the item to the right the active item. If there is no
item to the right, wraps.
- XmTRAVERSE_UP - Finds the hierarchy that
contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab
group and makes the item above it the active item. If there is no
item above, wraps.
CAUTIONS
- XmProcessTraversal will not allow traversal to
a widget in a different shell.
- XmProcessTraversal will only allow traversal
to widgets that are currently mapped.
- You cannot call XmProcessTraversal from inside
a focusCallback routine (or you will get a segmentation fault).
RETURN VALUE
Returns True if the setting succeeded. Returns False if the
keyboard focus policy is not XmEXPLICIT, if there are
no traversable items, or if the call to the routine has invalid
parameters.
