XtMakeResizeRequest() XtMakeResizeRequest() Name XtMakeResizeRequest - request parent to change child's size. Synopsis XtGeometryResult XtMakeResizeRequest(w, width, height, width_return, height_return) Widget w; Dimension width, height; Dimension *width_return, *height_return Inputs w Specifies the child widget making the request. width, height Specify the desired widget width and height. Outputs width_return, height_return Return a compromise size when the function returns XtGeometryAlmost. May be NULL if the widget is not interested in compro- mises. Returns A response to the request: XtGeometryYes, XtGeometryNo or XtGeometryAlmost. Description XtMakeResizeRequest() is a simplified version of XtMakeGeometryRequest() that a child can use to ask its parent to change its size. It creates an XtWidgetGeometry structure, specifies width, and height, sets request_mode to (CWWidth CWHeight), and passes it to XtMakeGeome- tryRequest(). Note that the geometry manager is free to modify any of the other window attributes (position or stacking order) to satisfy the resize request. The return values are as for XtMakeGeometryRequest(). If the return value is XtGeometryAlmost, width_return and height_return contain a compromise width and height. If these are acceptable, the widget should immediately make another XtMakeResizeRequest() and request that the compromise width and height be applied. See XtMakeGeometryRequest() for more information. Usage XtMakeResizeRequest() should only be used in widget code by widgets which would like to change their own size. Applications that want to set a widget size should use XtSetValues() on the XtNwidth and XtNheight resources of the widget. A widget that wants to change the size of one of its children should use XtResizeWidget().

XtMakeGeometryRequest, XtMakeResizeRequest - make geometry manager request SYNTAX
XtGeometryResult XtMakeGeometryRequest(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry *request, XtWidgetGeometry *reply_return); XtGeometryResult XtMakeResizeRequest(Widget w, Dimension width, height, Dimension *width_return, Dimension *height_return); ARGUMENTS
reply_return Returns the allowed widget size or may be NULL if the requesting widget is not interested in handling XtGeometryAlmost. request Specifies the desired widget geometry (size, position, border width, and stacking order). w Specifies the widget that is making the request. width_return height_return Return the allowed widget width and height. DESCRIPTION
Depending on the condition, XtMakeGeometryRequest performs the following: o If the widget is unmanaged or the widget's parent is not realized, it makes the changes and returns XtGeometryYes. o If the parent is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass or the parent's geometry_manager is NULL, it issues an error. o If the widget's being_destroyed field is True, it returns XtGeometryNo. o If the widget x, y, width, height and border_width fields are all equal to the requested values, it returns XtGeometryYes; otherwise, it calls the parent's geometry_manager procedure with the given parameters. o If the parent's geometry manager returns XtGeometryYes and if XtCWQueryOnly is not set in the request_mode and if the widget is real- ized, XtMakeGeometryRequest calls the XConfigureWindow Xlib function to reconfigure the widget's window (set its size, location, and stacking order as appropriate). o If the geometry manager returns XtGeometryDone, the change has been approved and actually has been done. In this case, XtMake- GeometryRequest does no configuring and returns XtGeometryYes. XtMakeGeometryRequest never returns XtGeometryDone. Otherwise, XtMakeGeometryRequest returns the resulting value from the parent's geometry manager. Children of primitive widgets are always unmanaged; thus, XtMakeGeometryRequest always returns XtGeometryYes when called by a child of a primitive widget. The XtMakeResizeRequest function, a simple interface to XtMakeGeometryRequest, creates a XtWidgetGeometry structure and specifies that width and height should change. The geometry manager is free to modify any of the other window attributes (position or stacking order) to satisfy the resize request. If the return value is XtGeometryAlmost, width_return and height_return contain a compromise width and height. If these are acceptable, the widget should immediately make an XtMakeResizeRequest and request that the compromise width and height be applied. If the widget is not interested in XtGeometryAlmost replies, it can pass NULL for width_return and height_return. SEE ALSO
