Name

XtIsSensitive — check the current sensitivity state of a widget. 

Synopsis

Boolean XtIsSensitive(object)

    Widget object;

Arguments

objectSpecifies the object whose state is to be tested; may be of class Object or any subclass thereof. 

Description

XtIsSensitive returns True or False to indicate whether the widget is sensitive, (i.e., whether user input events are being dispatched to its actions).  If both core.sensitive and core.ancestor_sensitive are True, XtIsSensitive returns True; otherwise, it returns False. 

A widget’s sensitivity is often checked by its parent.  For example the parent may wish to determine whether it should should pass the keyboard focus to the child, or it may choose to follow the lead of its children, and make itself insensitive.
