NAME
XmSelectionBox — The SelectionBox widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/SelectioB.h>
DESCRIPTION
SelectionBox is a general dialog widget that allows the user to select
one item from a list. By default, a SelectionBox includes the
following:
· A scrolling list of alternatives
· An editable text field for the selected alternative
· Labels for the list and text field
· Three or four buttons
The default button labels are OK, Cancel, and Help. By default an
Apply button is also created; if the parent of the SelectionBox is a
DialogShell, it is managed; otherwise it is unmanaged. Additional
children may be added to the SelectionBox after creation. The first
child is used as a work area. The value of XmNchildPlacement determines
if the work area is placed above or below the Text area, or above or
below the List area. Additional children are laid out in the following
manner:
Menubar The first menu bar child is placed at the top of the window.
The XmQTmenuSystem trait is used to check that it is the
first MenuBar child.
Buttons All XmPushButton widgets or gadgets, and their subclasses are
placed after the OK button in the order of their creation
(this order is checked using the XmQTactivatable trait). The
layout direction of the buttons depends on the
XmNlayoutDirection resource.
The layout of additional children that are not in the above categories
is undefined.
The user can select an item in two ways: by scrolling through the list
and selecting the desired item or by entering the item name directly
into the text edit area. Selecting an item from the list causes that
item name to appear in the selection text edit area.
The user may select a new item as many times as desired. The item is
not actually selected until the user presses the OK PushButton.
The default value for the XmBulletinBoard resource XmNcancelButton is
the Cancel button, unless XmNdialogType is XmDIALOG_COMMAND, when the
default is NULL. The default value for the XmBulletinBoard
XmNdefaultButton resource is the OK button, unless XmNdialogType is
XmDIALOG_COMMAND, when the default is NULL.
For SelectionBox and its subclasses, the default value for
XmNinitialFocus is the text edit area.
The user can specify resources in a resource file for the automatically
created widgets and gadgets of SelectionBox. The following list
identifies the names of these widgets (or gadgets) and the associated
SelectionBox areas:
List Items Label
Items
List Items
ItemsList
Selection Label
Selection
Selection Text
Text or TextField
Selection Separator
Separator
SelectionBox uses the XmQTaccessTextual, XmQTactivatable, and
XmQTmenuSystem traits.
Descendants
SelectionBox automatically creates the descendants shown in the
following table. An application can use XtNameToWidget to gain access
to the named descendant. In addition, a user or an application can use
the named descendant when specifying resource values.

Classes
SelectionBox inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Core,
Composite, Constraint, XmManager, and XmBulletinBoard.
The class pointer is xmSelectionBoxWidgetClass.
The class name is XmSelectionBox.
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 set at creation time (C),
set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is
not applicable (N/A).

XmNapplyCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks called when the user
activates the Apply button. The callback reason is
XmCR_APPLY.
XmNapplyLabelString
Specifies the string label for the Apply button. The default
for this resource depends on the locale. In the C locale the
default is Apply.
Now that some default localized label strings are provided
through message catalogs for the children of composite
widgets, the labelString resources cannot be set on the child
through default resource files. Instead, the resource
provided at the parent level must be used.
XmNcancelCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks called when the user
activates the Cancel button. The callback reason is
XmCR_CANCEL.
XmNcancelLabelString
Specifies the string label for the Cancel button. The
default for this resource depends on the locale. In the C
locale the default is Cancel.
Now that some default localized label strings are provided
through message catalogs for the children of composite
widgets, the labelString resources cannot be set on the child
through default resource files. Instead, the resource
provided at the parent level must be used.
XmNchildPlacement
Specifies the placement of the work area child. The possible
values are
XmPLACE_ABOVE_SELECTION
Places the work area child above the Text area
XmPLACE_BELOW_SELECTION
Places the work area child below the Text area
XmPLACE_TOP
Places the work area child above the List area, and
below a MenuBar, if one is present
XmNdialogType
Determines the set of SelectionBox children widgets that are
created and managed at initialization. The possible values
are
XmDIALOG_PROMPT
All standard children except the list and list
label are created, and all except the Apply button
are managed
XmDIALOG_COMMAND
Only the list, the selection label, and the text
field are created and managed
XmDIALOG_SELECTION
All standard children are created and managed
XmDIALOG_FILE_SELECTION
All standard children are created and managed
XmDIALOG_WORK_AREA
All standard children are created, and all except
the Apply button are managed
If the parent of the SelectionBox is a DialogShell, the
default is XmDIALOG_SELECTION; otherwise, the default is
XmDIALOG_WORK_AREA. XmCreatePromptDialog and
XmCreateSelectionDialog set and append this resource to the
creation arglist supplied by the application. This resource
cannot be modified after creation.
XmNhelpLabelString
Specifies the string label for the Help button. The default
for this resource depends on the locale. In the C locale the
default is Help.
Now that some default localized label strings are provided
through message catalogs for the children of composite
widgets, the labelString resources cannot be set on the child
through default resource files. Instead, the resource
provided at the parent level must be used.
XmNlistItems
Specifies the items in the SelectionBox list. XtGetValues
for this resource returns the list items themselves, not a
copy of the list items. The application must not free the
returned items.
XmNlistItemCount
Specifies the number of items in the SelectionBox list. The
value must not be negative.
XmNlistLabelString
Specifies the string label to appear above the SelectionBox
list containing the selection items. The default for this
resource depends on the locale. In the C locale the default
is Items unless XmNdialogType is XmDIALOG_PROMPT; in this
case the default is NULL.
Now that some default localized label strings are provided
through message catalogs for the children of composite
widgets, the labelString resources cannot be set on the child
through default resource files. Instead, the resource
provided at the parent level must be used.
XmNlistVisibleItemCount
Specifies the number of items displayed in the SelectionBox
list. The value must be greater than 0 (zero) unless
XmNdialogType is XmDIALOG_PROMPT; in this case, the value is
always 0. The default is dynamic based on the height of the
list.
XmNminimizeButtons
Sets the buttons to the width of the widest button and height
of the tallest button if False. If True, button width and
height are not modified.
XmNmustMatch
Specifies whether the selection widget should check if the
user’s selection in the text edit field has an exact match in
the SelectionBox list when the OK button is activated. If
the selection does not have an exact match, and XmNmustMatch
is True, the XmNnoMatchCallback callbacks are called. If the
selection does have an exact match or if XmNmustMatch is
False, XmNokCallback callbacks are called.
XmNnoMatchCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks called when the user makes a
selection from the text edit field that does not have an
exact match with any of the items in the list box. The
callback reason is XmCR_NO_MATCH. Callbacks in this list are
called only if XmNmustMatch is true.
XmNokCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks called when the user
activates the OK button. The callback reason is XmCR_OK. If
the selection text does not match a list item, and
XmNmustMatch is True, the XmNnoMatchCallback callbacks are
called instead.
XmNokLabelString
Specifies the string label for the OK button. The default
for this resource depends on the locale. In the C locale the
default is OK.
Now that some default localized label strings are provided
through message catalogs for the children of composite
widgets, the labelString resources cannot be set on the child
through default resource files. Instead, the resource
provided at the parent level must be used.
XmNselectionLabelString
Specifies the string label for the selection text edit field.
The default for this resource depends on the locale. In the
C locale the default is Selection.
Now that some default localized label strings are provided
through message catalogs for the children of composite
widgets, the labelString resources cannot be set on the child
through default resource files. Instead, the resource
provided at the parent level must be used.
XmNtextAccelerators
Specifies translations added to the Text widget child of the
SelectionBox. The default includes bindings for the up and
down keys for auto selection of list items. This resource is
ignored if XmNaccelerators is initialized to a nondefault
value.
XmNtextColumns
Specifies the number of columns in the Text widget. The
value must be greater than 0 (zero).
XmNtextString
Specifies the text in the text edit selection field.

Callback Information
A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback:
typedef struct
{
int reason;
XEvent * event;
XmString value;
int length;
} XmSelectionBoxCallbackStruct;
reason Indicates why the callback was invoked
event Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback
value Indicates the XmString value selected by the user from the
SelectionBox list or entered into the SelectionBox text field
length Indicates the size in bytes of the XmString value This member
is obsolete and exists for compatibility with earlier
releases.
Translations
XmSelectionBox inherits translations from XmBulletinBoard.
Accelerators
The XmNtextAccelerators are added to the Text descendant of
XmSelectionBox. The default accelerators are described in the
following list.
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.

Action Routines
The XmSelectionBox action routines are
SelectionBoxUpOrDown(Previous|Next|First|Last):
When called with an argument of Previous, or 0 (zero) for
compatibility, selects the previous item in the list and
replaces the text with that item.
When called with an argument of Next, or 1 for compatibility,
selects the next item in the list and replaces the text with
that item.
When called with an argument of First, or 2 for
compatibility, selects the first item in the list and
replaces the text with that item.
When called with an argument of Last, or 3 for compatibility,
selects the last item in the list and replaces the text with
that item.
SelectionBoxRestore():
Replaces the text value with the list selection. If no item
in the list is selected, clears the text.
Additional Behavior
The SelectionBox widget has the following additional behavior:
<Key><osfCancel>:
Calls the activate callbacks for the cancel button if it is
sensitive. If no cancel button exists and the parent of the
SelectionBox is a manager, passes the event to the parent.
<Key><osfActivate>:
Calls the activate callbacks for the button with the keyboard
focus. If no button has the keyboard focus, calls the
activate callbacks for the default button if it is sensitive.
In a List widget or single-line Text widget, the List or Text
action associated with <Key><osfActivate> is called before
the SelectionBox actions associated with <Key><osfActivate>.
In a multiline Text widget, any <Key><osfActivate> event
except <Key><osfEnter> calls the Text action associated with
<Key><osfActivate>, then the SelectionBox actions associated
with <Key><osfActivate>. If no button has the focus, no
default button exists, and the parent of the SelectionBox is
a manager, passes the event to the parent.
<OK Button Activated>:
If XmNmustMatch is True and the text does not match an item
in the file list, calls the XmNnoMatchCallback callbacks with
reason XmCR_NO_MATCH. Otherwise, calls the XmNokCallback
callbacks with reason XmCR_OK.
<Apply Button Activated>:
Calls the XmNapplyCallback callbacks with reason XmCR_APPLY.
<Cancel Button Activated>:
Calls the XmNcancelCallback callbacks with reason
XmCR_CANCEL.
<Help Button Activated>:
Calls the XmNhelpCallback callbacks with reason XmCR_HELP.
<MapWindow>:
Calls the callbacks for XmNmapCallback if the SelectionBox is
a child of a Dialog shell.
<UnmapWindow>:
Calls the callbacks for XmNunmapCallback if the SelectionBox
is the child of a DialogShell.
Virtual Bindings
The bindings for virtual keys are vendor specific. For information
about bindings for virtual buttons and keys, see VirtualBindings(3).
