XmPushButtonGadget(3X) SDK X11 R4.11MU05 XmPushButtonGadget(3X)
NAME
XmPushButtonGadget--The PushButtonGadget widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/PushBG.h>
DESCRIPTION
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,
BSelect controls the behavior of the PushButtonGadget. In addition,
BMenu 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 by using the
XmNshowAsDefault resource. If it has a non-zero value, the Label's
resources XmNmarginLeft, XmNmarginRight, XmNmarginTop, and
XmNmarginBottom 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.
Classes
PushButtonGadget inherits behavior and resources from Object,
RectObj, XmGadget and XmLabelGadget classes.
The class pointer is xmPushButtonGadgetClass.
The class name is XmPushButtonGadget.
New Resources
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 creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by
using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNactivateCallback
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 XmCRACTIVATE.
XmNarmCallback
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
XmCRARM.
XmNarmColor
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.
XmNarmPixmap
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
This resource specifies the width of the default button
indicator shadow. If this resource is 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
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 XmCRDISARM.
XmNfillOnArm
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
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
If a button click is followed by another button click
within the time span specified by the display's multi-click
time, and this resource is set to XmMULTICLICKDISCARD, do
not process the second click. If this resource is set to
XmMULTICLICKKEEP, process the event and increment
clickcount in the callback structure. When the button is
in a menu, the default is XmMULTICLICKDISCARD; otherwise,
for a button not in a menu XmMULTICLICKKEEP is the default
value.
XmNshowAsDefault
If XmNdefaultButtonShadowThickness is greater than zero, a
value greater than zero in this resource specifies to mark
this button as the default button. If
XmNdefaultButtonShadowThickness is zero, a value greater
than zero 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 zero. When this value is not zero, the
Label resources XmNmarginLeft, XmNmarginRight,
XmNmarginTop, and XmNmarginBottom may be modified to
accommodate the second shadow. This resource is disabled
when the PushButton is in a menu.
Inherited Resources
PushButtonGadget inherits behavior and resources from the following
superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to
the man page for that superclass.

Callback Information
A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback:
typedef struct
{
int reason;
XEvent * event;
int clickcount;
} XmPushButtonCallbackStruct;
reason Indicates why the callback was invoked.
event Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback.
clickcount
This value is valid only when the reason is XmCRACTIVATE.
It contains the number of clicks in the last multiclick
sequence if the XmNmultiClick resource is set to
XmMULTICLICKKEEP, otherwise it contains 1. The activate
callback is invoked for each click if XmNmultiClick is set to
XmMULTICLICKKEEP.
Behavior
XmPushButtonGadget includes behavior from XmGadget.
XmPushButtonGadget includes menu traversal behavior from
XmLabelGadget. Additional behavior for XmPushButtonGadget is
described below:
BDrag Press:
Drags the contents of a PushButtonGadget label, identified
by pressing BDrag. This action creates a DragContext
object whose XmNexportTargets resource is set to
"COMPOUND_TEXT" for a label type of XmSTRING; otherwise,
"PIXMAP" if the label type is XmPIXMAP. This action is
undefined for PushButtonGadgets used in a menu system.
BSelect Press:
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.
BSelect Press 2+:
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICKDISCARD, this action does
nothing.
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICKKEEP, this action does the
following: Draws the shadow in the armed state. If the button is not
in a menu and if XmNfillOnArm is set to True, fills the button with
the color specified by XmNarmColor. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the
XmNarmPixmap is used for the button face. Calls the XmNarmCallback
callbacks.
BSelect Click or BSelect Release:
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. Calls the callbacks for XmNdisarmCallback.
BSelect Release 2+:
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICKDISCARD, this action does
nothing.
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICKKEEP, this action does the
following: Increments clickcount in the callback structure. 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, the XmNlabelPixmap is
used for the button face. If the pointer is within the
PushButtonGadget, calls the callbacks for XmNactivateCallback. Calls
the callbacks for XmNdisarmCallback.
KActivate:
In a menu, does the following: unposts all menus in the
menu hierarchy; unless the button is already armed, calls
the XmNarmCallback callbacks; and calls the
XmNactivateCallback and 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.
KSelect: In a menu, does the following: Unposts all menus in the
menu hierarchy. Unless the button is already armed, calls
the XmNarmCallback callbacks. Calls the
XmNactivateCallback and XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, does the following: 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, the
XmNarmPixmap is used for the button face. 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.
KHelp: 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.
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.
MAny KCancel:
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.
