NAME

       The Button Box widget

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/ButtonBox.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The Button Box widget manages children (usually buttons) in a single row or single column layout.

       The  Button  Box maintains equal spacing between its children at all times and attempts to adjust its height and width as necessary so that
       all children will fit. If this is not possible, due to parent or application programmer constraints, the Button Box will resize	its  chil-
       dren as necessary to fit within the available space.

       Note: in what follows, major direction refers to the direction of orientation, and minor direction refers to the perpendicular direction.

Normal Resources
       Name	      Class	    Type		  Initial Value
       equalSize      EqualSize     Boolean		  False
       fillOption     FillOption    unsigned char	  XmFillNone
       marginHeight   Margin	    VerticalDimension	  0
       marginWidth    Margin	    HorizontalDimension   0
       orientation    Orientation   unsigned char	  XmHORIZONTAL

       All resource names begin with XmN and all resource class names begin with XmC.

equalSize
       Specifies  whether  the	children are to be maintained with equal sized heights and widths. The chosen height and width for the children is
       found by asking each child for its preferred size and taking the largest value in each direction.

fillOption
       Specifies how to use any extra space left over once all children have been sized according to either their preference or  equalSize.  There
       are four options:

XmFillNone
       No automatic filling is performed. Center the children in the minor direction and place the children with equal padding between them in the
       major direction.

XmFillMinor
       Place the children with equal padding between them in the major direction, but force all the children to  take  on  the	Button	Box  minor
       dimension as their minor direction.

XmFillMajor
       Center  the children in the minor direction, but expand all the children in their major direction so that there is no padding between them.
       Expand the children such that their relative sizes remain constant.

XmFillAll
       This option combines the placement actions and sizing actions of XmFillMinor and XmFillMajor.

       Regardless of the fill mode, the ButtonBox widget will always leave the specified margin between its edge and  the  nearest  child.  A  new
       String  to  fillOption  resource  converter has been registered to convert the following strings to fill options: "none", "major", "minor",
       "all." This resource can therefore be set in an application defaults file.

marginHeight
marginWidth
       Specifies the number of pixels to use as a margin around the entire group of children. The marginHeight value applies to both the  top  and
       bottom margins, while the marginWidth applies to the left and right margins.

orientation
       Specifies whether children are to be placed in a row or a column. The orientation may be either XmHORIZONTAL or XmVERTICAL. If the orienta-
       tion is XmHORIZONTAL, the children are placed in a row with the major dimension being width and the minor dimension being  height.  If  the
       value  is  XmVERTICAL,  the  children are placed in a column with the major dimension being height and the minor dimension being width. The
       default value is XmHORIZONTAL.

Convenience Routines

XmCreateButtonBox
       XmCreateButtonBox(
		   Widget parent,     /* Widget id of parent for new ButtonBox */
		   String name,       /* Name of the created widget */
		   ArgList args,      /* argument list */
		   Cardinal num_args  /* number of items in argument list */
		   )

Translations and Actions:
       The Button Box manager inherits all of its translations and actions from its superclass.
