VendorShell(3)
NAME
VendorShell --- The VendorShell widget class "VendorShell" "widget class" "VendorShell"
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <X11/Shell.h>
DESCRIPTION
VendorShell is a Motif widget class used as a supporting superclass for
all shell classes that are visible to the window manager and that are
not override redirect. It contains resources that describe the MWM-
specific look and feel. It also manages the MWM-specific communication
needed by all VendorShell subclasses. See the mwm reference page for
more information.
It is also responsible for managing toolTips. All XmPrimitive and
XmGadget subclasses have an XmNtoolTipString resource. If
XmNtoolTipEnable is True, and the pointer enters a Primitive or Gadget
that has traversal enabled, and the XmNtoolTipString is not NULL, the
XmNtoolTipString will be displayed according to the VendorShell
resources for controlling toolTips. VendorShell displays the
XmNtooTipString in an XmLabel that is a child of a transientShell. The
name of the transientShell is TipShell, and the name of the XmLabel is
TipLabel. The appearance of the tip can be controlled by specifying
resources on these widgets.
If an application uses the XmNmwmDecorations, XmNmwmFunctions, or
XmNmwmInputMode resource, it should include the file Xm/MwmUtil.h.
Setting XmNheight, XmNwidth, or XmNborderWidth for either a VendorShell
or its managed child usually sets that resource to the same value in
both the parent and the child. When an off-the-spot input method
exists, the height and width of the shell may be greater than those of
the managed child in order to accommodate the input method. In this
case, setting XmNheight or XmNwidth for the shell does not necessarily
set that resource to the same value in the managed child, and setting
XmNheight or XmNwidth for the child does not necessarily set that
resource to the same value in the shell.
For the managed child of a VendorShell, regardless of the value of the
shell's XmNallowShellResize, setting XmNx or XmNy sets the
corresponding resource of the parent but does not change the child's
position relative to the parent. XtGetValues for the child's XmNx or
XmNy yields the value of the corresponding resource in the parent. The
x and y-coordinates of the child's upper left outside corner relative
to the parent's upper left inside corner are both 0 (zero) minus the
value of XmNborderWidth.
Note that the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM)
allows a window manager to change or control the border width of a
reparented top-level window.
VendorShell holds the XmQTspecifyRenderTable trait.
Classes
VendorShell inherits behavior, resources, and traits from the Core,
Composite, Shell, and WMShell classes.
The class pointer is vendorShellWidgetClass.
The class name is VendorShell.
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 subresource 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 subresource 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 subresource can be set at
creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using
XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNaudibleWarning
Determines whether an action activates its associated audible
cue. The possible values are XmBELL and XmNONE.
XmNbuttonFontList
Specifies the font list used for button descendants. See the
XmNbuttonRenderTable resource.
XmNbuttonRenderTable
Specifies the render table used for VendorShell's button
descendants. If this value is NULL at initialization and if
the value of XmNdefaultFontList is not NULL,
XmNbuttonRenderTable is initialized to the value of
XmNdefaultFontList. If the value of XmNdefaultFontList is
NULL, the parent hierarchy of the widget is searched for an
ancestor that holds the XmQTspecifyRenderTable trait. If
such an ancestor is found, XmNbuttonRenderTable is
initialized to the XmBUTTON_RENDER_TABLE value of the
ancestor widget. If no such ancestor is found, the default is
implementation dependent. Refer to XmRenderTable(3) for more
information on the creation and structure of a render table.
XmNdefaultFontList
Specifies a default font list for VendorShell's descendants.
This resource is obsolete and exists for compatibility with
earlier releases. It has been replaced by XmNbuttonFontList,
XmNlabelFontList, and XmNtextFontList.
XmNdeleteResponse
Determines what action the shell takes in response to a
WM_DELETE_WINDOW message. The setting can be one of three
values: XmDESTROY, XmUNMAP, and XmDO_NOTHING. The resource
is scanned, and the appropriate action is taken after the
WM_DELETE_WINDOW callback list (if any) that is registered
with the Protocol manager has been called.
XmNinputMethod
Specifies the string that sets the locale modifier for the
input method. When XtGetValues is called on this resource,
the returned value is a pointer to the actual resource value
and should not be freed.
XmNinputPolicy
Specifies the policy to follow for creating an Input Context
(IC) for this shell. This resource can have the following
values:
XmPER_SHELL
Specifies that only one XIC is created per shell.
XmPER_WIDGET
Specifies that one XIC is created for each widget.
XmNkeyboardFocusPolicy
Determines allocation of keyboard focus within the widget
hierarchy rooted at this shell. The X keyboard focus must be
directed to somewhere in the hierarchy for this client-side
focus management to take effect. Possible values are
XmEXPLICIT, specifying a click-to-type policy, and XmPOINTER,
specifying a pointer-driven policy.
XmNlabelFontList
Specifies the font list used for label descendants. See the
XmNlabelRenderTable resource.
XmNlabelRenderTable
Specifies the font list used for VendorShell's label
descendants (Labels and LabelGadgets). If this value is NULL
at initialization and if the value of XmNdefaultFontList is
not NULL, XmNlabelFontList is initialized to the value of
XmNdefaultFontList. If the value of XmNdefaultFontList is
NULL, the parent hierarchy of the widget is searched for an
ancestor that holds the XmQTspecifyRenderTable trait. If
such an ancestor is found, XmNlabelRenderTable is initialized
to the XmLABEL_RENDER_TABLE of the ancestor widget. If no
such ancestor is found, the default is implementation
dependent. Refer to XmRenderTable(3) for more information on
the creation and structure of a render table.
XmNlayoutDirection
Specifies the direction in which the subwidgets, children of
a widget, or other visual components are to be laid out. This
policy will apply as the default layout policy for all
descendants of this VendorShell.
XmNmwmDecorations
Specifies the decoration flags (specific decorations to add
or remove from the window manager frame) for the
_MOTIF_WM_HINTS property. If any decoration flags are
specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property, only decorations
indicated by both that property and the MWM clientDecoration
and transientDecoration resources are displayed. If no
decoration flags are specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property, decorations indicated by the MWM clientDecoration
and transientDecoration resources are displayed. The default
for the XmNmwmDecorations resource is not to specify any
decoration flags for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
The value of this resource is the bitwise inclusive OR of one
or more flag bits. The possible flag bit constants, defined
in the include file Xm/MwmUtil.h, are
MWM_DECOR_ALL
All decorations except those specified by other
flag bits that are set
MWM_DECOR_BORDER
Client window border
MWM_DECOR_RESIZEH
Resize frame handles
MWM_DECOR_TITLE
Title bar
MWM_DECOR_MENU
Window menu button
MWM_DECOR_MINIMIZE
Minimize window button
MWM_DECOR_MAXIMIZE
Maximize window button
XmNmwmFunctions
Specifies the function flags (specific window manager
functions to apply or not apply to the client window) for the
_MOTIF_WM_HINTS property. If any function flags are
specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property, only functions
indicated by both that property and the MWM clientFunctions
and transientFunctions resources are applied. If no function
flags are specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property,
functions indicated by the MWM clientFunctions and
transientFunctions resources are applied. The default for
the XmNmwmFunctions resource is not to specify any function
flags for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
The value of this resource is the bitwise inclusive OR of one
or more flag bits. The possible flag bit constants, defined
in the include file Xm/MwmUtil.h, are
MWM_FUNC_ALL
All functions except those specified by other flag
bits that are set
MWM_FUNC_RESIZE
f.resize
MWM_FUNC_MOVE
f.move
MWM_FUNC_MINIMIZE
f.minimize
MWM_FUNC_MAXIMIZE
f.maximize
MWM_FUNC_CLOSE
f.kill
XmNmwmInputMode
Specifies the input mode flag (application modal or system
modal input constraints) for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property.
If no input mode flag is specified by the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property, no input constraints are applied, and input goes to
any window. The default for the XmNmwmInputMode resource is
not to specify any input mode flag for the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property.
An application that sets input constraints on a dialog
usually uses the BulletinBoard's XmNdialogStyle resource
rather than the parent DialogShell's XmNmwmInputMode
resource.
The possible values for this resource, defined in the include
file Xm/MwmUtil.h, are
MWM_INPUT_MODELESS
Input goes to any window.
MWM_INPUT_PRIMARY_APPLICATION_MODAL
Input does not go to ancestors of this window.
MWM_INPUT_SYSTEM_MODAL
Input goes only to this window.
MWM_INPUT_FULL_APPLICATION_MODAL
Input does not go to other windows in this
application.
XmNmwmMenu
Specifies the menu items that the Motif window manager should
add to the end of the window menu. The string contains a list
of items separated by 0fP with the following format:
label [mnemonic] [accelerator] function
If more than one item is specified, the items should be
separated by a newline character.
When XtGetValues is called on this resource, the returned
value is a pointer to the actual resource value and should
not be freed.
XmNpreeditType
Specifies the input method style or styles available to the
input manager. The resource can be a comma-separated list of
the following values:
Preedit Values
Preedit Value XIM Style
OffTheSpot XIMPreeditArea
Root XIMPreeditNothing
None XIMPreeditNone
OverTheSpot XIMPreeditPosition
OnTheSpot XIMPreeditCallbacks
When XtGetValues is called on this resource, the returned
value is a pointer to the actual resource value and should
not be freed.
XmNshellUnitType
This resource is obsolete, and is included only for
compatibility with earlier releases of Motif. Use the
XmNunitType resource instead.
XmNtextFontList
Specifies the font list used for text descendants. See the
XmNtextRenderTable resource.
XmNtextRenderTable
Specifies the render table used for VendorShell's Text and
List descendants. If this value is NULL at initialization and
if the value of XmNdefaultFontList is not NULL,
XmNtextRenderTable is initialized to the value of
XmNdefaultFontList. If the value of XmNdefaultFontList is
NULL, the parent hierarchy of the widget is searched for an
ancestor that holds the XmQTspecifyRenderTable trait. If
such an ancestor is found, XmNtextRenderTable is initialized
to the XmTEXT_RENDER_TABLE value of the ancestor widget. If
no such ancestor is found, the default is implementation
dependent. Refer to XmRenderTable(3) for more information on
the creation and structure of a render table.
XmNtoolTipEnable
Specifies whether toolTips are enabled for this shell or not.
XmNtoolTipPostDelay
Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait after the
pointer enters a widget before posting the toolTip associated
with this widget.
XmNtoolTipPostDuration
Specifies the time, in milliseconds, that the toolTip is
displayed. A value of 0 will display the tip indefinitely.
XmNunitType
Provides the basic support for resolution independence. It
defines the type of units a widget uses with sizing and
positioning resources. The resource has a default unit type
of XmPIXELS.
The unit type can also be specified in resource files, with
the following format:
<floating value><unit>
where:
unit is <" ", pixels, inches, centimeters, millimeters,
points, font units>
pixels is <pix, pixel, pixels>
inches is <in, inch, inches>
centimeter
is <cm, centimeter, centimeters>
millimeters
is <mm, millimeter, millimeters>
points is <pt, point, points>
font units
is <fu, font_unit, font_units>
float is {"+"|"-"}{{<"0"-"9">*}.}<"0"-"9">*
Note that the type Dimension must always be
positive.
For example,
xmfonts*XmMainWindow.height: 10.4cm
*PostIn.width: 3inches
XmNunitType can have the following values:
XmPIXELS All values provided to the widget are treated as
normal pixel values.
XmMILLIMETERS
All values provided to the widget are treated as
normal millimeter values.
Xm100TH_MILLIMETERS
All values provided to the widget are treated as
1/100 of a millimeter.
XmCENTIMETERS
All values provided to the widget are treated as
normal centimeter values.
XmINCHES All values provided to the widget are treated as
normal inch values.
Xm1000TH_INCHES
All values provided to the widget are treated as
1/1000 of an inch.
XmPOINTS All values provided to the widget are treated as
normal point values. A point is a unit used in text
processing applications and is defined as 1/72 of
an inch.
Xm100TH_POINTS
All values provided to the widget are treated as
1/100 of a point. A point is a unit used in text
processing applications and is defined as 1/72 of
an inch.
XmFONT_UNITS
All values provided to the widget are treated as
normal font units. A font unit has horizontal and
vertical components. These are the values of the
XmScreen resources XmNhorizontalFontUnit and
XmNverticalFontUnit.
Xm100TH_FONT_UNITS
All values provided to the widget are treated as
1/100 of a font unit. A font unit has horizontal
and vertical components. These are the values of
the XmScreen resources XmNhorizontalFontUnit and
XmNverticalFontUnit.
For more information about units, refer to the XmConvertUnits
reference page.
XmNuseAsyncGeometry
Specifies whether the geometry manager should wait for
confirmation of a geometry request to the window manager.
When the value of this resource is True, the geometry manager
forces XmNwaitForWm to False and XmNwmTimeout to 0, and it
relies on asynchronous notification. When the value of this
resource is False, XmNwaitForWm and XmNwmTimeout are
unaffected. The default is False.
