NAME

       XmComboBox — The ComboBox widget class

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/ComboBox.h>

DESCRIPTION

       XmComboBox  combines the capabilities of a single-line TextField widget
       and a List widget. It allows users to perform opoerations  like  typing
       and  pasting  information,  and  it  also  provides  a list of possible
       choices that the user can select from to complete the  TextField  entry
       field.  The list can either be displayed at all times or can be dropped
       down by the user. When the list portion  of  the  ComboBox  is  hidden,
       users  are  given  a visual cue (a downward-pointing arrow) next to the
       TextField field. The position of the arrow relative  to  the  TextField
       field  depends  on  the XmNlayoutDirection resource of the widget. This
       version of the ComboBox is called the "drop-down"  ComboBox.  Drop-down
       ComboBoxes  are useful when screen space is limited, or when users will
       complete the text entry  field  more  often  by  typing  text  than  by
       selecting  the entry field text from the list.  The user can access the
       drop-down ComboBox in either one of two ways:

          ·  By clicking and releasing <Btn1> on the downward-pointing  arrow,
             which  pops the list up, and the list stays up. A later selection
             of an item in the list will cause the item to appear in the  text
             entry field, and the list will unpost itself.

          ·  By pressing <Btn1> on the downward-pointing arrow, dragging it to
             a list item, and then releasing  it  there,  which  selects  that
             item.  The  list disappears, and the selected item appears in the
             text entry field.

       The application provides an array of strings that  fill  the  list.  At
       creation  time,  string  items  can  be  passed  to the ComboBox via an
       arglist.  Each string becomes an item  in  the  list,  with  the  first
       string  becoming the item in position 1, the second string becoming the
       item in position 2, and  so  on.  The  size  of  the  list  is  set  by
       specifying   the   number  of  items  that  are  visible  in  the  list
       (XmNvisibleItemCount). If the number of items in the list  exceeds  the
       number   of  items  that  are  visible,  a  vertical  scroll  bar  will
       automatically appear that allows the user to  scroll  through  a  large
       number of items.

       ComboBox  creates  two  child  widgets: a TextField widget for entering
       text and a ScrolledWindow containing a List for the list of items.  The
       name of the items list itself is List, and the name of the TextField is
       Text.  The application or user can specify resource  values  for  these
       widgets  in a resource file, and the application can use XtNameToWidget
       (specifying "*List" for the items list or  "*Text"  for  the  TextField
       widget)  to  obtain  the  widget  IDs  of  the  descendant widgets.  At
       creation time, ComboBox  passes  appropriate  resource  values  in  the
       creation arglist, including XmNitems, to the items list.  Note that the
       result of providing the XmNdestroyCallback  resource  in  the  creation
       arglist  is  unspecified.  The application should use the XtAddCallback
       function to add callbacks to the appropriate widget (TextField or List)
       after creating it.

       ComboBox forces the following resource values on its List child:

          ·  If  XmNcomboBoxType  is  XmCOMBO_BOX, XmNtraversalOn is forced to
             False.

          ·  XmNhighlightThickness is forced to 2 in a drop-down ComboBox  and
             to 0 in other types of ComboBoxes.

          ·  XmNborderWidth is forced to 0.

          ·  XmNnavigationType is forced to XmNONE.

          ·  XmNselectionPolicy is forced to XmBROWSE_SELECT.

          ·  XmNlistSizePolicy is forced to XmVARIABLE.

          ·  XmNspacing is forced to 0.

          ·  XmNvisualPolicy is forced to XmVARIABLE.

          ·  XmNselectedPositions is forced to NULL.

          ·  XmNselectedPositionsCount is forced to 0.

       When XmNcomboBoxType is XmDROP_DOWN_LIST, ComboBox forces the following
       resource values on its TextField child:

          ·  XmNeditable is forced to False.

          ·  XmNcursorPositionVisible is forced to False.

          ·  XmNshadowThickness is forced to 0.

       By    contrast,    when    XmNcomboBoxType    is     XmCOMBO_BOX     or
       XmDROP_DOWN_COMBO_BOX, ComboBox forces the following resource values on
       its TextField child:

          ·  XmNeditable is forced to True.

          ·  XmNcursorPositionVisible is forced to True.

          ·  XmNeditMode is forced to XmSINGLE_LINE_EDIT.

       ComboBox always forces the values of the  following  resources  on  the
       TextField:

          ·  XmNnavigationType is forced to XmNONE.

          ·  XmNhighlightThickness is forced to 0.

          ·  XmNborderWidth is forced to 0.

       ComboBox  allows a single item to be selected in two ways: by selecting
       the desired item from the List or by entering text into the  TextField.
       ComboBox  does  not  automatically select a list item if the user types
       that string into the TextField. It  selects  the  item  when  the  user
       presses  KActivate  or  moves  the focus.  ComboBox supports the Browse
       Select selection model of List (see the XmList  reference  page  for  a
       description  of  this  model),  so  selections  are mutually exclusive.
       Selecting an item from the list causes that item to be displayed in the
       TextField portion of the ComboBox.  If an application sets the XmNvalue
       resource of TextField, that string is shown in the TextField.   If  the
       application  has not provided any list items, or if there is no current
       selection, the TextField is empty.

       The TextField  in  the  ComboBox  widget  can  be  either  editable  or
       noneditable, depending on the value of the XmNcomboBoxType resource.

       If the TextField is editable, the user can type into it.  When the user
       presses the Return key, the ComboBox will compare the  typed  entry  to
       the  items  in  the List.  If there is an exact match, then the matched
       List item is selected.  If  the  application  wishes  to  validate  the
       entered  text  (for  example,  to  ensure that the typed selection is a
       valid one), it can do so  by  setting  XmNmodifyVerifyCallback  on  the
       TextField widget.

       If  the  TextField  is  noneditable,  typing text may invoke a matching
       algorithm that will attempt to match the entered text with items in the
       list.  The  specific  matching algorithm applied, which may be none, is
       determined by the value of the XmNmatchBehavior resource  in  ComboBox,
       which  can  be  either  XmNONE  or  XmQUICK_NAVIGATE. A value of XmNONE
       indicates  that  no  matching  algorithm  will  occur.   A   value   of
       XmQUICK_NAVIGATE  indicates  that  when the List widget has focus, one-
       character navigation is supported. In  this  algorithm,  if  the  typed
       character  is  the  initial  character  of  some item in the List, this
       algorithm causes that item to be navigated to  and  selected,  and  the
       item  is  displayed  in  the  TextField.  Subsequently  typing the same
       character will cycle among the items with the same first character.

       Regardless of the selection mechanism used  (either  selected  directly
       from the List or typed into the TextField), when an item in the List is
       selected, that item is highlighted  in  the  List.   In  addition,  the
       selected  item  is  displayed  in the TextField of the ComboBox. If the
       user performs an action that would move focus away  from  ComboBox,  or
       selects  a List item, the XmNselectionCallback callbacks are invoked to
       notify the application of the current contents  of  the  TextField  (or
       choice).  The  application then takes whatever action is required based
       on those contents (or choice).

       ComboBox  uses  the  XmQTspecifyRenderTable   trait   and   holds   the
       XmQTaccessTextual trait.

   Classes
       XmComboBox   inherits   behavior,  resources,  and  traits  from  Core,
       Composite, and XmManager classes.

       The class pointer is xmComboBoxWidgetClass.

       The class name is XmComboBox.

   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 at creation time (C),  set
       by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not
       applicable (N/A).

       XmNarrowSize
                 Specifies the width of the arrow. The default size depends on
                 the size of the text, as well as the size of the ComboBox.

       XmNarrowSpacing
                 Specifies  the  space  between  the  text and arrow visual in
                 pixels. The default value is obtained from the XmNmarginWidth
                 resource.

       XmNcolumns
                 Specifies  the number of columns in the text field. If unset,
                 the text field’s value is used. Refer to the XmTextField  man
                 page for more detailed information.

       XmNcomboBoxType
                 Specifies the type of ComboBox to be created. This can be one
                 of the following:

                 XmCOMBO_BOX
                           Generates a  ComboBox  where  the  list  is  always
                           displayed, and the text entry field is editable.

                 XmDROP_DOWN_COMBO_BOX
                           Generates  a  ComboBox  where  the  list  is hidden
                           unless specifically requested, and the  text  entry
                           field is editable.

                 XmDROP_DOWN_LIST
                           Generates  a  ComboBox  where  the  list  is hidden
                           unless specifically requested, and the  text  entry
                           field is noneditable.

       XmNfontList
                 Specifies   the  fontlist  associated  with  XmComboBox.  The
                 fontlist is an obsolete construct, and has been superseded by
                 the  render  table.   It  is  included for compatibility with
                 earlier versions of Motif, and for applications that  do  not
                 easily support render tables. The default fontlist is derived
                 from the default render table, and if both a fontlist  and  a
                 render   table   are   specified,   the  render  table  takes
                 precedence.

       XmNhighlightThickness
                 Specifies the thickness of the highlighting rectangle.

       XmNitemCount
                 Specifies the number of items in  the  list.  If  unset,  the
                 lists’s value is used.  Refer to the XmList man page for more
                 detailed information.

       XmNitems  Specifies the items in the list. If unset, the lists’s  value
                 is  used.  Refer  to  the  XmList  man page for more detailed
                 information.

       XmNlist   The list widget.

       XmNmarginWidth
                 Specifies the horizontal spacing between  the  child  widgets
                 and the boundary of the ComboBox.

       XmNmarginHeight
                 Specifies  the vertical spacing between the child widgets and
                 the boundary of the ComboBox.

       XmNmatchBehavior
                 Defines the matching algorithm  applied  to  match  the  text
                 typed  by  the  user in the TextField field with items in the
                 list.  The current values are XmNONE and XmQUICK_NAVIGATE, as
                 follows:

                 XmNONE    Indicates   that  there  is  no  assigned  matching
                           algorithm.

                 XmQUICK_NAVIGATE
                           Is   only   valid   for   noneditable    ComboBoxes
                           (XmNcomboBoxType  resource value XmDROP_DOWN_LIST).
                           This algorithm supports 1-character navigation when
                           the  List  widget has focus. If the typed character
                           is the initial character of some item in the  List,
                           this  algorithm causes that item to be navigated to
                           and  selected.   Subsequently   typing   the   same
                           character  will cycle among the items with the same
                           first character.

       XmNpositionMode
                 Specifies how the value of the  XmNselectedPosition  resource
                 and  the item_position field of the callback structure are to
                 be  interpreted.  Note   that   the   convenience   functions
                 XmComboBoxDeletePos and XmComboBoxAddItem are not affected by
                 this  resource,  and  (like  XmList)   always   use   1-based
                 positions. Valid values for this resource are:

                 XmZERO_BASED
                           (DtComboBox     compatibility     mode:    default)
                           XmNselectedPosition  is  in  [0,itemcount-1].   The
                           item_position  in the XmComboBoxCallbackStruct is 0
                           if the first element in the list was selected. Note
                           that  0  is also returned if no element in the list
                           was selected (that is, a new item  was  entered  in
                           the text field).

                 XmONE_BASED
                           (Motif  mode)  Both  the  resource  value  and  the
                           callback fields are  1-based.  This  is  consistent
                           with other Motif widgets.

       XmNrenderTable
                 Specifies  the  render  table associated with ComboBox.  This
                 render table is used in both the TextField field and the List
                 in  the  ComboBox.  This  is  used  in  conjunction  with the
                 XmNvisibleItemCount resource of the  List  to  determine  the
                 height of the ComboBox widget.

                 If  this  value  is NULL at initialization, and if the widget
                 parent is XmBulletinBoard or its subclasses,  VendorShell  or
                 its  subclasses,  or  XmMenuShell,  then  the  widget  parent
                 provides the default render table associated with the widget.
                 If  both  a  render  table  and a fontlist are specified, the
                 render table will take precedence.

       XmNselectedItem
                 Specifies a  compound  string  that  represents  the  current
                 selection  of  the ComboBox. The selected item is the content
                 of the ComboBox text entry field.

       XmNselectedPosition
                 If the selection in the ComboBox is an item in the list, this
                 is  the index of the selected item in the list. If no item in
                 the list is selected, this is 0.

       XmNselectionCallback
                 Specifies the list  of  callbacks  called  when  an  item  is
                 selected.   The  reason field in the XmComboBoxCallbackStruct
                 is XmCR_SELECT.

       XmNtextField
                 The text field widget.

       XmNvisibleItemCount
                 Specifies the number of visible items in the list. This  will
                 override  any  value  specified  for  the list.  Refer to the
                 XmList man page for more detailed information.

   Inherited Resources
       ComboBox inherits behavior and resources from superclasses described in
       the  following  tables.  For  a  complete description of each resource,
       refer to the reference page for that superclass.

   Callback Information
       A pointer to the following structure is passed to each  callback.   The
       callback structure is defined as follows:

       typedef struct
       {
               int reason;
               XEvent *event;
               XmString item_or_text;
               int item_position;
       } XmComboBoxCallbackStruct;

       reason    Indicates why the callback was invoked.

       event     Points  to  the XEvent that triggered the callback. It can be
                 NULL.

       item_or_text
                 The contents of the text field at the time the  event  caused
                 the   callback.   The  item_or_text  parameter  points  to  a
                 temporary storage space that is reused after the callback  is
                 finished. If an application needs to save the item, it should
                 copy item_or_text into its own data space.

       item_position
                 The position of item in the list’s XmNitems 1-based array. If
                 this  is  0,  it means that the item_or_text was not selected
                 from the List.

   Translations
       The ComboBox translations are listed below.

       The following key  names  are  listed  in  the  X  standard  key  event
       translation  table  syntax.   This  format  is the one used by Motif to
       specify the widget actions corresponding  to  a  given  key.   A  brief
       overview  of  the  format  is provided under VirtualBindings(3).  For a
       complete description of the format,  please  refer  to  the  X  Toolkit
       Instrinsics Documentation.

              Note:

              The KPageUp and KPageDown translations do not take effect unless
              the List child widget is posted.

       <Btn1Down>:
                 CBArmAndDropDownList()

       <Btn1Up>: CBDisarm()

       The following lists the List translations in the drop-down  list.  When
       ComboBox    XmNcomboBoxType    is    XmDROP_DOWN_LIST,   <osfActivate>,
       <osfCancel>, and Return are overriden by ComboBox actions.

       :c <Key><osfDown>:
                 CBDropDownList()

       :c <Key><osfUp>:
                 CBDropDownList()

       :<Key><osfCancel>:
                 CBCancel()

       :<Key><osfActivate>:
                 CBActivate()

       ∼sma<Key>Return:
                 CBActivate()

   Accelerators
       The following accelerators are added to ComboBox and its children.  The
       accelerators  may  not  directly correspond to a translation table.  If
       the translation is not listed below, it may depend on  the  context  of
       the event.

       :c <Key><osfUp>:
                 CBDropDownList()

       :<Key><osfUp>:
                 CBListAction(Up)

       :c <Key><osfDown>:
                 CBDropDownList()

       :<Key><osfDown>:
                 CBListAction(Down)

       :c <Key><osfBeginLine>:
                 CBListAction(ListBeginData)

       :c <Key><osfEndLine>:
                 CBListAction(ListEndData)

       :<Key><osfPageUp>:
                 CBListAction(ListPrevPage)

       :<Key><osfPageDown>:
                 CBListAction(ListNextPage)

       A  drop-down  ComboBox also adds accelerators to its List child.  Aside
       from the accelerators that are already listed in  this  section,  those
       accelerators are the default TextField key translations.

   Action Routines
       The XmComboBox action routines are as follows:

       CBActivate():
                 Calls    the    XmNselectionCallback    callbacks.   If   the
                 XmNcomboBoxType is XmDROP_DOWN_COMBO_BOX or XmDROP_DOWN_LIST,
                 it  unposts  the list. If the parent is a manager, passes the
                 event to the parent.

       CBArmAndDropDownList():
                 If the pointer is within the down arrow, draws the shadow  of
                 the arrow in the selected state, and then posts the list.

       CBCancel():
                 If    the   XmNcomboBoxType   is   XmDROP_DOWN_COMBO_BOX   or
                 XmDROP_DOWN_LIST, pops down the list.  If  the  parent  is  a
                 manager, passes the event to the parent.

       CBDisarm():
                 Redraws the arrow in an unselected state.

       CBDropDownList():
                 If  XmNcomboBoxType  is  XmDROP_DOWN or XmDROP_DOWN_LIST, and
                 list is not displayed, posts the list. If list is  displayed,
                 it unposts the list.

       CBListAction(ListBeginData):
                 Moves  the location cursor to the first item in the list.  In
                 Normal Mode,  this  also  deselects  any  current  selection,
                 selects   the   first   item  in  the  list,  and  calls  the
                 XmNbrowseSelectionCallback selection callback.

       CBListAction(ListEndData):
                 Moves the location cursor to the last item in the  list.   In
                 Normal  Mode,  this  also  deselects  any  current selection,
                 selects  the  last  item  in  the   list,   and   calls   the
                 XmNbrowseSelectionCallback selection callback.

       CBListAction(ListPrevPage):
                 Scrolls  the  list  to the previous page, moving the location
                 cursor to a new item.  This action also selects the new item,
                 deselects    any    current    selection,   and   calls   the
                 XmNbrowseSelectionCallback callbacks.  If the ComboBox is not
                 a drop-down type, then this action does nothing.

       CBListAction(ListNextPage):
                 Scrolls the list to the next page, moving the location cursor
                 to a new item.   This  action  also  selects  the  new  item,
                 deselects    any    current    selection,   and   calls   the
                 XmNbrowseSelectionCallback callbacks.  If the ComboBox is not
                 a drop-down type, then this action does nothing.

       CBListAction(Up):
                 Moves  the  location cursor to the previous item in the list.
                 This action also selects the  previous  item,  deselects  any
                 current  selection,  and calls the XmNbrowseSelectionCallback
                 callbacks.  Note that, unlike the List  ListPrevItem  action,
                 this action wraps around.

       CBListAction(Down):
                 Moves the location cursor to the next item in the list.  This
                 action also selects the  next  item,  deselects  any  current
                 selection,    and    calls   the   XmNbrowseSelectionCallback
                 callbacks.  Note that, unlike the List  ListNextItem  action,
                 this action wraps around.

   Virtual Bindings
       The  bindings  for  virtual  keys  are vendor specific. For information
       about bindings for virtual buttons and keys, see VirtualBindings(3).

ERRORS/WARNINGS

       The toolkit will display a warning if the application tries to set  the
       value  of  XmNlist  or  the  XmNtextField resource, which are read-only
       (marked G in the resource table).
