NAME [Toc] [Back]
XmPushButtonGadget - The PushButtonGadget widget class
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <Xm/PushBG.h>
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
PushButtonGadget issues commands within an application. It consists
of a text label or pixmap surrounded by a border shadow. When
PushButtonGadget is selected, the shadow changes to give the
appearance that the PushButtonGadget has been pressed in. When
PushButtonGadget is unselected, the shadow changes to give the
appearance that the PushButtonGadget is out.
The default behavior associated with a PushButtonGadget in a menu
depends on the type of menu system in which it resides. By default,
<Btn1> controls the behavior of the PushButtonGadget. In addition,
<Btn3> controls the behavior of the PushButtonGadget if it resides in
a PopupMenu system. The actual mouse button used is determined by its
RowColumn parent.
Thickness for a second shadow may be specified with the
XmNshowAsDefault resource. If it has a nonzero value, the Label's
XmNmarginLeft, XmNmarginRight, XmNmarginTop, and XmNmarginBottom
resources may be modified to accommodate the second shadow.
If an initial value is specified for XmNarmPixmap but not for
XmNlabelPixmap, the XmNarmPixmap value is used for XmNlabelPixmap.
PushButtonGadget uses the XmQTmenuSystem and XmQTspecifyRenderTable
traits, and holds the XmQactivatable, XmQTmenuSavvy, and
XmQTtakesDefault traits.
Classes [Toc] [Back]
PushButtonGadget inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Object,
RectObj, XmGadget and XmLabelGadget.
The class pointer is xmPushButtonGadgetClass.
The class name is XmPushButtonGadget.
New Resources [Toc] [Back]
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

XmNactivateCallback [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the
PushButtonGadget is activated. It is activated when the
user presses and releases the active mouse button while the
pointer is inside the PushButtonGadget. Activating
PushButtonGadget also disarms it. For this callback, the
reason is XmCR_ACTIVATE. This callback uses the
XmQTactivatable trait.
XmNarmCallback [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when
PushButtonGadget is armed. It is armed when the user
presses the active mouse button while the pointer is inside
the PushButtonGadget. For this callback, the reason is
XmCR_ARM.
XmNarmColor [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the color with which to fill the armed button.
XmNfillOnArm must be set to True for this resource to have
an effect. The default for a color display is a color
between the background and the bottom shadow color. For a
monochrome display, the default is set to the foreground
color, and any text in the label appears in the background
color when the button is armed.

XmPushButtonGadget(library call) XmPushButtonGadget(library call)
XmNarmPixmap [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the pixmap to be used as the button face if
XmNlabeltype is XmPIXMAP and PushButtonGadget is armed.
This resource is disabled when the PushButtonGadget is in a
menu.
XmNdefaultButtonShadowThickness [Toc] [Back]
This resource specifies the width of the default button
indicator shadow. If this resource is 0 (zero), the width
of the shadow comes from the value of the XmNshowAsDefault
resource. If this resource is greater than zero, the
XmNshowAsDefault resource is only used to specify whether
this button is the default. The default value is the
initial value of XmNshowAsDefault.
XmNdisarmCallback [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the
PushButtonGadget is disarmed. PushButtonGadget is disarmed
when the user presses and releases the active mouse button
while the pointer is inside that gadget. For this callback,
the reason is XmCR_DISARM.
XmNfillOnArm [Toc] [Back]
Forces the PushButtonGadget to fill the background of the
button with the color specified by XmNarmColor when the
button is armed and when this resource is set to True. If it
is False, only the top and bottom shadow colors are
switched. When the PushButtonGadget is in a menu, this
resource is ignored and assumed to be False.
XmNmultiClick [Toc] [Back]
If a button click is followed by another button click within
the time span specified by the display's multiclick time,
and this resource is set to XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, the second
click is not processed. If this resource is set to
XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, the event is processed and click_count is
incremented in the callback structure. When the button is
in a menu, the default is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD; otherwise,
for a button not in a menu, the default value is
XmMULTICLICK_KEEP.
XmNshowAsDefault [Toc] [Back]
If XmNdefaultButtonShadowThickness is greater than 0 (zero),
a value greater than zero in this resource specifies to mark
this button as the default button. If
XmNdefaultButtonShadowThickness is 0, a value greater than 0
in this resource specifies to mark this button as the
default button with the shadow thickness specified by this
resource. The space between the shadow and the default
shadow is equal to the sum of both shadows. The default
value is 0. When the Display resource

XmPushButtonGadget(library call) XmPushButtonGadget(library call)
XmNdefaultButtonEmphasis has a value of XmEXTERNAL_HIGHLIGHT
(the default), PushButton draws the location cursor outside
of the outer shadow. When this resource has a value of
XmINTERNAL_HIGHLIGHT, the highlight is drawn between the
inner and outer shadows. When this value is not 0, the
Label XmNmarginLeft, XmNmarginRight, XmNmarginTop, and
XmNmarginBottom resources may be modified to accommodate the
second shadow. This resource is disabled when the
PushButton is in a menu.
Inherited Resources [Toc] [Back]
PushButtonGadget inherits behavior and resources from the superclasses
described in the following tables. For a complete description of each
resource, refer to the reference page for that superclass.

Callback Information [Toc] [Back]
A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback:
typedef struct
{
int reason;
XEvent * event;
int click_count;
} XmPushButtonCallbackStruct;
reason Indicates why the callback was invoked.
event Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback.
click_count
Valid only when the reason is XmCR_ACTIVATE. It 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.
Behavior [Toc] [Back]
- 7 - Formatted: January 24, 2005
XmPushButtonGadget(library call) XmPushButtonGadget(library call)
XmPushButtonGadget includes behavior from XmGadget.
XmPushButtonGadget includes menu traversal behavior from
XmLabelGadget. Additional behavior for XmPushButtonGadget is
described in the following list.
<Btn2Down>:
Drags the contents of a PushButtonGadget label, identified
when <Btn2> is pressed. This action is undefined for
PushButtonGadgets used in a menu system.
<Btn1Down>:
This action arms the PushButtonGadget.
In a menu, this action unposts any menus posted by the
PushButtonGadget's parent menu, disables keyboard traversal
for the menu, and enables mouse traversal for the menu. It
draws the shadow in the armed state. Unless the button is
already armed, it calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
If the button is not in a menu, this action draws the shadow
in the armed state. If XmNfillOnArm is set to True, it
fills the button with the color specified by XmNarmColor.
If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNarmPixmap is used for
the button face. It calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
<Btn1>(2+):
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, this action does
nothing.
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, this action draws the
shadow in the armed state. If the button is not in a menu
and if XmNfillOnArm is set to True, it fills the button with
the color specified by XmNarmColor. If XmNlabelType is
XmPIXMAP, the XmNarmPixmap is used for the button face.
This action calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
<Btn1Up>: In a menu, this action unposts all menus in the menu
hierarchy and activates the PushButtonGadget. It calls the
XmNactivateCallback callbacks and then the XmNdisarmCallback
callbacks.
If the PushButtonGadget is not in a menu, this action draws
the shadow in the unarmed state. If XmNfillOnArm is set to
True, the background color reverts to the unarmed color. If
XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used for the
button face. If the pointer is still within the button,
this action calls the callbacks for XmNactivateCallback and
XmNdisarmCallback.
<Btn1Up>(2+):
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, this action does
- 8 - Formatted: January 24, 2005
XmPushButtonGadget(library call) XmPushButtonGadget(library call)
nothing.
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, this action
increments click_count in the callback structure and draws
the shadow in the unarmed state. If the button is not in a
menu and if XmNfillOnArm is set to True, the background
color reverts to the unarmed color. If XmNlabelType is
XmPIXMAP, XmNlabelPixmap is used for the button face. If
the pointer is within the PushButtonGadget, this action
calls the callbacks for XmNactivateCallback and
XmNdisarmCallback.
<Key><osfActivate>:
In a menu, this action unposts all menus in the menu
hierarchy, unless the button is already armed, and calls the
XmNarmCallback callbacks, the XmNactivateCallback and the
XmNdisarmCallback callbacks. Outside a menu, KActivate has
no effect. For PushButtonGadgets outside of a menu, if the
parent is a manager, this action passes the event to the
parent.
<Key><osfSelect>:
In a menu, this action unposts all menus in the menu
hierarchy, unless the button is already armed, and calls the
XmNarmCallback callbacks. This acton calls the
XmNactivateCallback and XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, this action draws the shadow in the armed
state and, if XmNfillOnArm is set to True, fills the button
with the color specified by XmNarmColor. If XmNlabelType is
XmPIXMAP, XmNarmPixmap is used for the button face. This
action calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, this action also arranges for the following
to happen, either immediately or at a later time: the shadow
is drawn in the unarmed state and, if XmNfillOnArm is set to
True, the background color reverts to the unarmed color. If
XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used for the
button face. The XmNactivateCallback and XmNdisarmCallback
callbacks are called.
<Key><osfHelp>:
In a Pulldown or Popup MenuPane, unposts all menus in the
menu hierarchy and restores keyboard focus to the widget
that had the focus before the menu system was entered. This
action 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.
- 9 - Formatted: January 24, 2005
XmPushButtonGadget(library call) XmPushButtonGadget(library call)
<Key><osfCancel>:
In a toplevel Pulldown MenuPane from a MenuBar, unposts the
menu, disarms the MenuBar CascadeButton and the MenuBar, and
restores keyboard focus to the widget that had the focus
before the MenuBar was entered. In other Pulldown
MenuPanes, unposts the menu.
In a Popup MenuPane, unposts the menu and restores keyboard
focus to the widget from which the menu was posted. For a
PushButtonGadget outside of a menu, if the parent is a
manger, this action passes the event to the parent.
<Enter>: In a menu, if keyboard traversal is enabled, this action
does nothing. Otherwise, it draws the shadow in the armed
state and calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
If the PushButtonGadget is not in a menu and the cursor
leaves and then reenters the PushButtonGadget while the
button is pressed, this action draws the shadow in the armed
state. If XmNfillOnArm is set to True, it also fills the
button with the color specified by XmNarmColor. If
XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNarmPixmap is used for the
button face.
<Leave>: In a menu, if keyboard traversal is enabled, this action
does nothing. Otherwise, it draws the shadow in the unarmed
state and calls the XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
If the PushButtonGadget is not in a menu and the cursor
leaves the PushButtonGadget while the button is pressed,
this action draws the shadow in the unarmed state. If
XmNfillOnArm is set to True, the background color reverts to
the unarmed color. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the
XmNlabelPixmap is used for the button face.
