DwtCSText(3Dwt) DwtCSText(3Dwt) Name DwtCSText, DwtCSTextCreate - Creates a compound-string text widget. Syntax Widget DwtCSText(parent_widget, name, x, y, cols, rows, value) Widget parent_widget; char *name; Position x, y; Dimension cols, rows; DwtCompString value; Widget DwtCSTextCreate (parent_widget, name, override_arglist, override_argcount) Widget parent_widget; char *name; ArgList override_arglist; int override_argcount; Arguments parent_widget Specifies the parent widget ID. name Specifies the name of the created widget. x Specifies the placement, in pixels, of the left side of the widget window relative to the inner upper left corner of the parent window. This argument sets the DwtNx core widget attribute. y Specifies, in pixels, the placement of the top of the widget window relative to the inner upper left corner of the parent window. This argument sets the DwtNy core widget attribute. cols Specifies the width of the text window measured in character cells. This argument sets the DwtNcols attribute associated with DwtCSTextCreate. rows Specifies the height of the text window measured in character cells or number of lines. This argument sets the DwtNrows attribute associated with DwtCSTextCreate. value Specifies the text contents of the compound-string text widget. This argument sets the DwtNvalue attribute associated with DwtC- STextCreate. override_arglist Specifies the application override argument list. override_argcount Specifies the number of attributes in the application override argument list (override_arglist). Description The DwtCSText and DwtCSTextCreate functions create an instance of a compound-string text widget and return its associated widget ID. When calling DwtCSText, you set the compound-string text widget attributes presented in the formal parameter list. For DwtCSTextCreate, how- ever, you specify a list of attribute name/value pairs that represent all the possible compound-string text widget attributes. The com- pound-string text widget enables the application to display a single or multiline field of text for input and editing by the user. By default the text window expands or shrinks as the user enters or deletes text characters. Note that the text window does not shrink below the initial size set at creation time. The compound-string text widget does not support children; therefore, there is no geometry or resize semantics.

DwtNmarginHeight Specifies the number of pixels between the top or bottom edge of the window and the text. DwtNcols Specifies the width of the text window measured in character spaces. DwtNrows Specifies the height of the text window measured in character heights or number of line spaces. DwtNtopPosition Specifies the position to display at the top of the window. DwtNwordWrap Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that lines are broken at word breaks and text does not run off the right edge of the window. DwtNscrollVertical Specifies a boolean value that, when True, adds a scroll bar that allows the user to scroll vertically through the text. DwtNresizeHeight Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that the compound-string text widget resizes its height to accommodate all the text contained in the widget. If this is set to True, the text will always be displayed starting from the first position in the source, even if instructed otherwise. This attribute is ignored if DwtNscrollVertical is True. DwtNresizeWidth Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that the compound-string text widget resizes its width to accommodate all the text contained in the widget. This argument is ignored if DwtNwordWrap is True. DwtNvalue Specifies the text contents of the compound-string text widget. If you accept the default of NULL, the text path and edit- ing path are set to DwtDirectionRightDown. Otherwise, the text path and editing path are set from the direction of the first segment of the value. DwtNeditable Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that the user can edit the text in the compound-string text widget. If False, prohibits the user from editing the text. DwtNmaxLength Specifies the maximum length of the text string, in characters, in the compound-string text widget. DwtNfocusCallback Specifies the callback function or functions called when the compound-string text widget accepted the input focus. For this callback, the reason is DwtCRFocus. DwtNhelpCallback Specifies the callback function or functions called when a help request is made. For this callback, the reason is DwtCRHel- pRequested. DwtNlostFocusCallback Specifies the callback function or functions called when the compound-string text widget loses input focus. For this call- back, the reason is DwtCRLostFocus. DwtNvalueChangedCallback Specifies the callback function or functions called when the value of the compound-string text widget changes. For this callback, the reason is DwtCRValueChanged. DwtNinsertionPointVisible Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that the insertion point is marked by a blinking text cursor. DwtNautoShowInsertPoint Specifies a boolean value that, when True, ensures that the text visible in the compound-string text widget window contains the insertion point. This means that if the insertion point changes, the contents of the compound-string text widget window might scroll in order to bring the insertion point into the window. DwtNinsertionPosition Specifies the current location of the insertion point. DwtNforeground Specifies the pixel for the foreground of the compound-string text widget. DwtNfont Specifies the font list to be used for the compound-string text widget. DwtNblinkRate Specifies the blink rate of the text cursor in milliseconds. DwtNscrollLeftSide Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that the vertical scroll bar should be placed on the left side of the compound-string text window. This attribute is ignored if DwtNscrollVertical is False. DwtNhalfBorder Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that a border is displayed only on the starting edge and bottom edge of the compound-string text widget. DwtNpendingDelete Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that selected text containing the insertion point is deleted when new text is entered. DwtNdirectionRToL Specifies the direction in which the text is drawn and wraps. You can pass DwtDirectionLeftDown (text is drawn from left to right and wraps down); DwtDirectionRightUp (text is drawn from left to right and wraps up); DwtDirectionLeftDown (text is drawn from right to left and wraps down); or DwtDirectionLeftUp (text is drawn from right to left and wraps up). The Dwt- NdirectionRToL attribute only affects the direction toward which the window is resized. DwtNtextPath Specifies a read-only value that holds the main text path (direction) of the text in the compound-string text widget. It is set from the initial compound-string value of the widget. This attribute is used only if DwtNvalue is NULL. DwtNeditingPath Specifies a read-only value that holds the current editing text path (direction) in the compound-string text widget. It is set initially equal to DwtNtextPath. This attribute is used only if DwtNvalue is NULL. DwtNbidirectionalCursor Specifies a boolean value that, when True, indicates that the shape of the cursor at the insertion point will be dependent on the current editing direction. DwtNnofontCallback Specifies a callback function called when the compound-string text widget has failed to find a font needed for the display of a text tagged by a specific character set. For this callback, the reason is DwtCRNoFont. Return Values These functions return the ID of the created widget. Callback Information The following structure is returned to your callback: typedef struct { int reason; XEvent *event; char *charset; unsigned int charset_len; } DwtCSTextCallbackStruct; The reason member is set to a constant that represents the reason why this callback was invoked. For this callback, the reason member can be set to: DwtCRFocus The compound-string text widget has received the input focus. DwtCRLostFocus The compound-string text widget has lost the input focus. DwtCRValueChanged The user changed the value of the text in the compound-string text wid- get. DwtCRHelpRequested The user selected Help. DwtCRNoFont The widget font list con- tained no entry for the required character set. The event member is a pointer to the Xlib structure XEvent, which describes the event that generated this callback. This structure is a union of the individual structures declared for each event type. For information on XEvent and event processing, see the Guide to the Xlib Library: C Language Binding. The charset member is set to the character set ID for which the widget has no matching font in its font list. The callback should modify the widget font list to include an entry for the required character set. The charset_len member is set to the length of the charset string.
