DwtCautionBox(3Dwt) DwtCautionBox(3Dwt) Name DwtCautionBox, DwtCautionBoxCreate - Creates a caution box widget for the application to display caution messages. Syntax Widget DwtCautionBox(parent_widget, name, default_position, x, y, style, label, yeslabel, nolabel, cancel_label, default_push_button, callback, help_callback) Widget parent_widget; char *name; Boolean default_position; Position x, y; int style; DwtCompString label; DwtCompString yeslabel; DwtCompString nolabel; DwtCompString cancel_label; int default_push_button; DwtCallbackPtr callback, help_callback; Widget DwtCautionBoxCreate (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. default_position Specifies a boolean value that, when True, causes DwtNx and DwtNy to be ignored and forces the default widget position. The default widget position is centered in the parent window. If False, the specified DwtNx and DwtNy attributes are used to posi- tion the widget. This argument sets the DwtNdefaultPosition attribute associated with DwtDialogBoxCreate. 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 upper left corner of the widget window relative to the inner upper left corner of the parent window. This argument sets the DwtNy core widget attribute. style Specifies the style of the caution box widget. You can pass DwtModal (modal) or DwtModeless (modeless). This argument sets the DwtNstyle attribute associated with DwtDialogBoxPopupCreate. label Specifies the text in the message line or lines. This argument sets the DwtNlabel attribute associated with DwtCautionBoxCreate. yeslabel Specifies the label for the Yes push button. If the label is a zero length string, the button is not displayed. This argument sets the DwtNyesLabel attribute associated with DwtCautionBoxCreate. nolabel Specifies the label for the No push button. If the label is a zero length string, the button is not displayed. This argument sets the DwtNnoLabel attribute associated with DwtCautionBoxCreate. cancel_label Specifies the label for the Cancel push button. If the label is a NULL string, the button is not displayed. This argument sets the DwtNcancelLabel attribute associated with DwtCautionBoxCreate. default_push_button Specifies the push button that represents the default user action. You can pass DwtYesButton, DwtNoButton, or DwtCancelButton. This argument sets the DwtNdefaultPushbutton attribute associated with DwtCautionBoxCreate. callback Specifies the callback function or functions called when the user activates the Yes, No, or Cancel buttons. This argument sets the DwtNyesCallback, DwtNnoCallback, and DwtNcancelCallback attributes associated with DwtCautionBoxCreate. help_callback Specifies the callback function or functions called when a help request is made. This argument sets the DwtNhelpCallback common widget attribute. parent_widget Specifies the parent widget ID. name Specifies the name of the created widget. 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 DwtCautionBox and DwtCautionBoxCreate functions create a caution box widget and return its associated widget ID. When calling DwtCau- tionBox, you set the caution box widget attributes presented in the formal parameter list. For DwtCautionBoxCreate, however, you specify a list of attribute name/value pairs that represent all the possible caution box widget attributes. A caution box warns the user of the application of the consequences of carrying out an action. It stops application activity and requires the user to provide instructions on how to proceed. Your application should generate a caution box when an action by the user could destroy data or cause a simialr irrevocable event. The caution box usually contains Yes, No, and Cancel push buttons. When possible, cau- tion messages should be written as inquiries. In all cases, the default push button should be the least destructive operation. If DwtNstyle is DwtModal when the user activates any push button, the widget is cleared from the screen, but not destroyed. You can redisplay the widget by calling XtManageChild.

DwtNyesLabel Specifies the label for the Yes push button. If the label is a zero length string, the button is not displayed. DwtNnoLabel Specifies the label for the No push button. If the label is a zero length string, the button is not displayed. DwtNcancelLabel Specifies the label for the Cancel push button. If the label is a NULL string, the button is not displayed. DwtNdefaultPushbutton Specifies the push button that represents the default user action. You can pass DwtYesButton, DwtNoButton, or DwtCancelBut- ton. DwtNyesCallback Specifies the callback function or functions called when the user clicks on the Yes button. For this callback, the reason is DwtCRYes. DwtNnoCallback Specifies the callback function or functions called when the user clicks on the No button. For this callback, the reason is DwtCRNo. DwtNcancelCallback Specifies the callback function or functions called when the user clicks on the Cancel button. For this callback, the rea- son is DwtCRCancel. 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; } DwtAnyCallbackStruct; 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: DwtCRYes The user activated the Yes button. DwtCRNo The user activated the No button. DwtCRCancel The user activated the Cancel button. DwtCRFocus The caution box has received the input focus. DwtCRHelpRequested The user selected Help somewhere in the caution box. 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.
