NAME

       XmIsTraversable  —  A  function that identifies whether a widget can be
       traversed

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       Boolean XmIsTraversable(
       Widget widget);

DESCRIPTION

       XmIsTraversable determines whether the specified widget is eligible  to
       receive  focus  through  keyboard  traversal.   In general, a widget is
       eligible to receive focus when all  of  the  following  conditions  are
       true:

          ·  The  widget  and  its  ancestors  are  not  being  destroyed, are
             sensitive, and have a value of True for XmNtraversalOn.

          ·  The widget and its ancestors are realized, managed,  and  (except
             for  gadgets) mapped.  If an application unmaps a widget that has
             its XmNmappedWhenManaged resource set to True, the  return  value
             is undefined.

          ·  Some  part  of the widget’s rectangular area is unobscured by the
             widget’s ancestors, or some part of the widget’s rectangular area
             is  inside the work window (but possibly outside the clip window)
             of a ScrolledWindow whose XmNscrollingPolicy is  XmAUTOMATIC  and
             whose XmNtraverseObscuredCallback is not NULL.

       Some widgets may not be eligible to receive focus even if they meet all
       these conditions.  For example,  most  managers  cannot  receive  focus
       through  keyboard  traversal.   Some widgets may be eligible to receive
       focus under particular  conditions.   For  example,  a  DrawingArea  is
       eligible  to  receive focus if it meets the conditions above and has no
       child whose XmNtraversalOn resource is True.

       Note that when  all  widgets  in  a  shell  hierarchy  have  been  made
       untraversable, they are considered to have lost focus. When a widget in
       this hierarchy is made traversable again, it regains focus.

       XmIsTraversable may  return  unexpected  results  when  widget  or  its
       ancestors are overlapped by their siblings.

       widget    Specifies the ID of the widget

RETURN

       Returns  True  if  the  widget  is  eligible  to  receive focus through
       keyboard traversal; otherwise, returns False.
