 XmToggleButton(Xm)             6 January 1993             XmToggleButton(Xm)


 Name

    XmToggleButton - the ToggleButton widget class

 Syntax


    #include <Xm/ToggleB.h>


 Description

    ToggleButton sets nontransitory state data within an application. Usually
    this widget consists of an indicator (square or diamond) with either text
    or a pixmap on one side of it.  However, it can also consist of just text
    or a pixmap without the indicator.

    The toggle graphics display a 1-of-many or N-of-many selection state.
    When a toggle indicator is displayed, a square indicator shows an N-of-
    many selection state and a diamond indicator shows a 1-of-many selection
    state.

    ToggleButton implies a selected or unselected state.  In the case of a
    label and an indicator, an empty indicator (square or diamond shaped)
    indicates that ToggleButton is unselected, and a filled indicator shows
    that it is selected. In the case of a pixmap toggle, different pixmaps
    are used to display the selected/unselected states.

    The default behavior associated with a ToggleButton in a menu depends on
    the type of menu system in which it resides.  By default, BSelect con-
    trols the behavior of the ToggleButton.  In addition, BMenu controls the
    behavior of the ToggleButton if it resides in a PopupMenu system.  The
    actual mouse button used is determined by its RowColumn parent.

    To accommodate the toggle indicator when created, Label's resource
    XmNmarginLeft may be increased.

    Classes

    ToggleButton inherits behavior and resources from Core, XmPrimitive, and
    XmLabel classes.

    The class pointer is xmToggleButtonWidgetClass.

    The class name is XmToggleButton.

    New resources

    The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the pro-
    grammer 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).

    XmNarmCallback
            Specifies the list of callbacks called when the ToggleButton is
            armed.  To arm this widget, press the active mouse button while
            the pointer is inside the ToggleButton.  For this callback, the
            reason is XmCRARM.

    XmNdisarmCallback
            Specifies the list of callbacks called when ToggleButton is
            disarmed.  To disarm this widget, press and release the active
            mouse button while the pointer is inside the ToggleButton.  This
            widget is also disarmed when the user moves out of the widget and
            releases the mouse button when the pointer is outside the widget.
            For this callback, the reason is XmCRDISARM.

    XmNfillOnSelect
            Fills the indicator with the color specified in XmNselectColor
            and switches the top and bottom shadow colors when set to True.
            Otherwise, it switches only the top and bottom shadow colors. The
            default is set to the value of XmNindicatorOn. When XmNindica-
            torOn is False, and XmNfillOnSelect is set explicitly to True,
            the background is filled with the color specified by
            XmNselectColor.

    XmNindicatorOn
            Specifies that a toggle indicator is drawn to one side of the
            toggle text or pixmap when set to True. When set to False, no
            space is allocated for the indicator, and it is not displayed. If
            XmNindicatorOn is True, the indicator shadows are switched when
            the button is selected or unselected, but, any shadows around the
            entire widget are not switched.  However, if XmNindicatorOn is
            False, any shadows around the entire widget are switched when the
            toggle is selected or unselected.

    XmNindicatorSize
            Sets the size of the indicator.  If no value is specified, the
            size of the indicator is based on the size of the label string or
            pixmap.  If the label string or pixmap changes, the size of the
            indicator is recomputed based on the size of the label string or
            pixmap.  Once a value has been specified for XmNindicatorSize,
            the indicator has that size, regardless of the size of the label
            string or pixmap, until a new value is specified.

    XmNindicatorType
            Specifies if the indicator is a 1-of or N-of indicator. For the
            1-of indicator, the value is XmONEOFMANY. For the N-of indica-
            tor, the value is XmNOFMANY. The N-of-many indicator is square.
            The 1-of-many indicator is diamond shaped. This resource speci-
            fies only the visuals and does not enforce the behavior.  When
            the ToggleButton is in a RadioBox, the default is XmONEOFMANY;
            otherwise, the default is XmNOFMANY.

    XmNselectColor
            Allows the application to specify what color fills the center of
            the square or diamond-shaped indicator when it is set.  If this
            color is the same as either the top or the bottom shadow color of
            the indicator, a one-pixel-wide margin is left between the sha-
            dows and the fill; otherwise, it is filled completely.  This
            resource's 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. To set the background
            of the button to XmNselectColor when XmNindicatorOn is False, the
            value of XmNfillOnSelect must be explicitly set to True.

    XmNselectInsensitivePixmap
            Specifies a pixmap used as the button face when the ToggleButton
            is selected and the button is insensitive if the Label resource
            XmNlabelType is set to XmPIXMAP.  If the ToggleButton is
            unselected and the button is insensitive, the pixmap in XmNlabel-
            InsensitivePixmap is used as the button face.  If no value is
            specified for XmNlabelInsensitivePixmap, that resource is set to
            the value specified for XmNselectInsensitivePixmap.

    XmNselectPixmap
            Specifies the pixmap to be used as the button face if XmNlabel-
            Type is XmPIXMAP and the ToggleButton is selected.  When the Tog-
            gleButton is unselected, the pixmap specified in Label's XmNla-
            belPixmap is used.  If no value is specified for XmNlabelPixmap,
            that resource is set to the value specified for XmNselectPixmap.

    XmNset  Represents the state of the ToggleButton. A value of false indi-
            cates that the ToggleButton is not set. A value of true indicates
            that the ToggleButton is set. Setting this resource sets the
            state of the ToggleButton.

    XmNspacing
            Specifies the amount of spacing between the toggle indicator and
            the toggle label (text or pixmap).

    XmNvalueChangedCallback
            Specifies the list of callbacks called when the ToggleButton
            value is changed. To change the value, press and release the
            active mouse button while the pointer is inside the ToggleButton.
            This action also causes this widget to be disarmed.  For this
            callback, the reason is XmCRVALUECHANGED.

    XmNvisibleWhenOff
            Indicates that the toggle indicator is visible in the unselected
            state when the Boolean value is True.  When the ToggleButton is
            in a menu, the default value is False.  When the ToggleButton is
            in a RadioBox, the default value is True.

    Inherited resources

    ToggleButton inherits behavior and resources from the following superc-
    lasses. 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;
           LXEvent     * event;
           Lint        set;
       } XmToggleButtonCallbackStruct;


    reason  Indicates why the callback was invoked

    event   Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback

    set     Reflects the ToggleButton's current state when the callback
            occurred, either True (selected) or False (unselected)

    Translations

    XmToggleButton includes translations from Primitive.  Additional XmTog-
    gleButton translations for buttons not in a menu system are listed below.
    These translations may not directly correspond to a translation table.

    Note that altering translations in #override or #augment mode is unde-
    fined.

       BDragPress:          ProcessDrag()
       BSelect Press:       Arm()
       BSelect Release:     Select()
                            Disarm()
       KHelp:               Help()
       KSelect:             ArmAndActivate()


    XmToggleButton inherits menu traversal translations from XmLabel.  Addi-
    tional XmToggleButton translations for ToggleButtons in a menu system are
    listed below.  In a Popup menu system, BMenu also performs the BSelect
    actions.  These translations may not directly correspond to a translation
    table.

       BSelect Press:        BtnDown()
       BSelect Release:      BtnUp()
       KHelp:                Help()
       KActivate:            ArmAndActivate()
       KSelect:              ArmAndActivate()
       MAny KCancel:         MenuShellPopdownOne()


    Action routines

    The XmToggleButton action routines are described below:

    Arm():  If the button was previously unset, this action does the follow-
            ing:  If XmNindicatorOn is True, it draws the indicator shadow so
            that the indicator looks pressed; if XmNfillOnSelect is True, it
            fills the indicator with the color specified by XmNselectColor.
            If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the button shadow so that
            the button looks pressed.  If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the
            XmNselectPixmap is used as the button face.  Calls the XmNarm-
            Callback callbacks.

            If the button was previously set, this action does the following:
            If both XmNindicatorOn and XmNvisibleWhenOff are True, it draws
            the indicator shadow so that the indicator looks raised; if
            XmNfillOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator with the back-
            ground color.  If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the button
            shadow so that the button looks raised.  If XmNlabelType is
            XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used as the button face.  Calls
            the XmNarmCallback callbacks.

    ArmAndActivate():
            If the ToggleButton was previously set, unsets it; if the Tog-
            gleButton was previously unset, sets it.

            In a menu, does the following:  Unposts all menus in the menu
            hierarchy.  Unless the button is already armed, calls the XmNarm-
            Callback callbacks.  Calls the XmNvalueChangedCallback and XmN-
            disarmCallback callbacks.

            Outside a menu, if the button was previously unset, this action
            does the following:  If XmNindicatorOn is True, it draws the
            indicator shadow so that the indicator looks pressed; if XmNfil-
            lOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator with the color speci-
            fied by XmNselectColor.  If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the
            button shadow so that the button looks pressed.  If XmNlabelType
            is XmPIXMAP, the XmNselectPixmap is used as the button face.
            Calls the XmNarmCallback, XmNvalueChangedCallback, and XmNdisarm-
            Callback callbacks.

            Outside a menu, if the button was previously set, this action
            does the following:  If both XmNindicatorOn and XmNvisibleWhenOff
            are True, it draws the indicator shadow so that the indicator
            looks raised; if XmNfillOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator
            with the background color.  If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws
            the button shadow so that the button looks raised.  If XmNlabel-
            Type is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used as the button face.
            Calls the XmNarmCallback, XmNvalueChangedCallback, and XmNdisarm-
            Callback callbacks.

    BtnDown():
            This action unposts any menus posted by the ToggleButton's parent
            menu, disables keyboard traversal for the menu, and enables mouse
            traversal for the menu.  It draws the shadow in the armed state
            and, unless the button is already armed, calls the XmNarmCallback
            callbacks.

    BtnUp():
            This action unposts all menus in the menu hierarchy.  If the Tog-
            gleButton was previously set, unsets it; if the ToggleButton was
            previously unset, sets it.  It calls the XmNvalueChangedCallback
            callbacks and then the XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.

    Disarm():
            Calls the callbacks for XmNdisarmCallback.

    Help(): 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.

    MenuShellPopdownOne():
            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 Menu-
            Bar 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.

    ProcessDrag():
            Drags the contents of a ToggleButton label, identified by press-
            ing BDrag. This action creates a DragContext object whose XmNex-
            portTargets resource is set to COMPOUNDTEXT for a label type of
            XmSTRING; otherwise, PIXMAP if the label type is XmPIXMAP. This
            action is undefined for ToggleButtons used in a menu system.

    Select():
            If the pointer is within the button, takes the following actions:
            If the button was previously unset, sets it; if the button was
            previously set, unsets it.  Calls the XmNvalueChangedCallback
            callbacks.

    Additional behavior

    This widget has the additional behavior described below:

    <EnterWindow>:
            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 ToggleButton is not in a menu and the cursor leaves and
            then reenters the ToggleButton's window while the button is
            pressed, this action restores the button's armed appearance.

    <LeaveWindow>:
            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 ToggleButton is not in a menu and the cursor leaves the
            ToggleButton's window while the button is pressed, this action
            restores the button's unarmed appearance.
