19 The ComboBox widget allows the user to select elements
20 from a list of choices, and enter their own values in a
21 text widget. To conserve screen space, the list of choices
22 is shown only when the user selects the down arrow button.
23 The choices may then be selected from this list. The list
24 will automatically by removed when the user selects an
25 item in the list. When the list is removed, the item that
26 was selected will be placed in the text widget. Typing the
27 escape key when the list is up, cancels the list popup.

38 The following table defines a set of widget resources used
39 by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also
40 set the resource values for the inherited classes to set
41 attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by
42 name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the X\bXm\bmN\bN or
43 X\bXm\bmC\bC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one
44 of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file,
45 remove the X\bXm\bm prefix and use the remaining letters (in
46 either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores
47 between words). The codes in the access column indicate if
48 the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by
49 using X\bXt\btS\bSe\bet\btV\bVa\bal\blu\bue\bes\bs (S), retrieved by using X\bXt\btG\bGe\bet\btV\bVa\bal\blu\bue\bes\bs (G),

271 user presses either the key "Enter" or "Activate".
272 The type of the structure passed to this callback
273 is X\bXm\bmA\bAn\bny\byC\bCa\bal\bll\blb\bba\bac\bck\bkS\bSt\btr\bru\buc\bct\bt and the reason is
274 X\bXm\bmC\bCR\bR_\b_A\bAC\bCT\bTI\bIV\bVA\bAT\bTE\bE.
275
276 X\bXm\bmN\bNa\bal\bli\big\bgn\bnm\bme\ben\bnt\bt
277 The alignment (left to right) for the label's text
278 or pixmap. Possible values are X\bXm\bmA\bAL\bLI\bIG\bGN\bN-\b-
279 M\bME\bEN\bNT\bT_\b_B\bBE\bEG\bGI\bIN\bNN\bNI\bIN\bNG\bG, X\bXm\bmA\bAL\bLI\bIG\bGN\bNM\bME\bEN\bNT\bT_\b_C\bCE\bEN\bNT\bTE\bER\bR, and X\bXm\bmA\bAL\bLI\bIG\bGN\bN-\b-

281
282 X\bXm\bmN\bNa\bau\but\bto\bom\bma\bat\bti\bic\bcS\bSe\bel\ble\bec\bct\bti\bio\bon\bn
283 Indicates whether the X\bXm\bmN\bNs\bse\bel\ble\bec\bct\bti\bio\bon\bnC\bCa\bal\bll\blb\bba\bac\bck\bk is
284 invoked each time the user moves into a new item if
285 X\bXm\bmN\bNa\bau\but\bto\bom\bma\bat\bti\bic\bcS\bSe\bel\ble\bec\bct\bti\bio\bon\bn is T\bTr\bru\bue\be and the selection
286 mode is X\bXm\bmB\bBR\bRO\bOW\bWS\bSE\bE_\b_S\bSE\bEL\bLE\bEC\bCT\bT. If set to F\bFa\bal\bls\bse\be the X\bXm\bmN\bNs\bs-\b-
287 e\bel\ble\bec\bct\bti\bio\bon\bnC\bCa\bal\bll\blb\bba\bac\bck\bk is not invoked until the user
288 releases the mouse button.
289
290 X\bXm\bmN\bNa\bar\brr\bro\bow\bwS\bSp\bpa\bac\bci\bin\bng\bgO\bOn\bn
291 Indicates whether a gap is displayed between the
292 arrow button and the text input field if this
293 resource is set to T\bTr\bru\bue\be and X\bXm\bmN\bNe\bed\bdi\bit\bta\bab\bbl\ble\be is also set
294 to T\bTr\bru\bue\be. If this resource is set to F\bFa\bal\bls\bse\be the
295 combo box widget will never display a gab between
296 the arrow button and the text area, irrespective of
297 the setting of X\bXm\bmN\bNe\bed\bdi\bit\bta\bab\bbl\ble\be. Note that setting
298 X\bXm\bmN\bNa\bar\brr\bro\bow\bwS\bSp\bpa\bac\bci\bin\bng\bgO\bOn\bn to F\bFa\bal\bls\bse\be doesn not conform to
299 common GUI styles. And it prevents the user from
300 easily recognizing whether the combo box is
301 editable or not.
302
303 X\bXm\bmN\bNb\bbl\bli\bin\bnk\bkR\bRa\bat\bte\be
304 The time in milliseconds that the cursor spends
305 being visible or invisible. A value of 0 prevents
306 the cursor from blinking.
307
308 X\bXm\bmN\bNb\bbo\bor\brd\bde\ber\brW\bWi\bid\bdt\bth\bh
309 That's no new resource but is already introduced in
310 the core class. This class overrides the default
311 value and sets it to zero. You can however override
312 it again if you're dissatisfied with the new
313 default setting.
314
315 X\bXm\bmN\bNc\bco\bol\blu\bum\bmn\bns\bs
316 Specifies the initial width of the input field mea-
317 sured in character spaces. The default value
318 depends on the value of the width of the combo box.
319
320 X\bXm\bmN\bNc\bcu\bur\brs\bso\bor\brP\bPo\bos\bsi\bit\bti\bio\bon\bn
321 Indicates the position in the text where the insert
322 cursor is to be located. Its position is the offset
323 of characters and it starts with offset 0 at the
324 beginning of the text.

338 Flags whether the insert cursor position is marked
339 by a blinking cursor.
340
341 X\bXm\bmN\bNd\bde\bef\bfa\bau\bul\blt\btA\bAc\bct\bti\bio\bon\bnC\bCa\bal\bll\blb\bba\bac\bck\bk
342 Specifies a list of callbacks that is called every
343 time an item is double clicked. The reason is
344 X\bXm\bmC\bCR\bR_\b_D\bDE\bEF\bFA\bAU\bUL\bLT\bT_\b_A\bAC\bCT\bTI\bIO\bON\bN. Please remember that you
345 can't use this callback if X\bXm\bmN\bNs\bst\bta\bat\bti\bic\bcL\bLi\bis\bst\bt is F\bFa\bal\bls\bse\be
346 because the list is immediatly hidden after the
347 user selected an item from the list. Thus the user
348 can't double click on any item within the list.
349
350 X\bXm\bmN\bNd\bdr\bro\bop\bpD\bDo\bow\bwn\bnC\bCa\bal\bll\blb\bba\bac\bck\bk
351 This is a list of callbacks to be called when the
352 list is about to be shown or hidden. The reasons
353 are X\bXm\bmC\bCR\bR_\b_S\bSH\bHO\bOW\bW_\b_L\bLI\bIS\bST\bT or X\bXm\bmC\bCR\bR_\b_H\bHI\bID\bDE\bE_\b_L\bLI\bIS\bST\bT.
354
355 X\bXm\bmN\bNd\bdr\bro\bop\bpD\bDo\bow\bwn\bnC\bCu\bur\brs\bso\bor\br
356 Specifies the cursor to be used whenever the mouse
357 cursor is within the drop down list.
358
359 X\bXm\bmN\bNd\bdr\bro\bop\bpD\bDo\bow\bwn\bnO\bOf\bff\bfs\bse\bet\bt
360 Specifies the distance between the left border of
361 the list and the left border of the input field.
362 The default value is set to the width of the arrow
363 button. Only positive values are allowed for X\bXm\bmN\bN-\b-
364 d\bdr\bro\bop\bpD\bDo\bow\bwn\bnO\bOf\bff\bfs\bse\bet\bt, negative ones will be ignored.
365
366 X\bXm\bmN\bNe\bed\bdi\bit\bta\bab\bbl\ble\be
367 Specifies the type of combo box. If set to True,
368 the combo box contains an editable input field.
369 Therefore, the user is free to select entries out
370 of the list and to enter new text or modify it. In
371 the other case, with XmNeditable set to False the
372 user can solely browse in and select entries out of
373 the list.
374
375 X\bXm\bmN\bNf\bfo\bon\bnt\btL\bLi\bis\bst\bt
376 Indicates the font list to be used for the input
377 field and the list. If the value is NULL at ini-
378 tialization, it is initialized by looking up the
379 parent hierarchy of the widget for an ancestor that
380 is a subclass of X\bXm\bmB\bBu\bul\bll\ble\bet\bti\bin\bnB\bBo\boa\bar\brd\bd, X\bXm\bmV\bVe\ben\bnd\bdo\bor\brS\bSh\bhe\bel\bll\bl or
381 X\bXm\bmM\bMe\ben\bnu\buS\bSh\bhe\bel\bll\bl. If such an ancestor is found, it's
382 font list will be taken by the combo box widget.
383
384 X\bXm\bmN\bNi\bit\bte\bem\bmC\bCo\bou\bun\bnt\bt
385 Specifies the total number of items in the list.
386
387 X\bXm\bmN\bNi\bit\bte\bem\bms\bs
388 Points to an array of compound strings representing
389 the items to be displayed in the list. By means of
390 this a program can find out what items the list

403 contains. It is also possible to set the contents
404 of the list box in one step by setting this
405 resource to a new array of compound strings. Please
406 remember: always set X\bXm\bmN\bNi\bit\bte\bem\bms\bs and X\bXm\bmN\bNi\bit\bte\bem\bmC\bCo\bou\bun\bnt\bt
407 together in the same call to X\bXt\btS\bSe\bet\btV\bVa\bal\blu\bue\bes\bs or
408 X\bXt\btV\bVa\baS\bSe\bet\btV\bVa\bal\blu\bue\bes\bs. If you ignore this rule the combo
409 box will ignore you and your attempt to set these
410 resources.

425 is True.
426
427 X\bXm\bmN\bNl\bla\bab\bbe\bel\blT\bTy\byp\bpe\be
428 The type of label (either string or pixmap). Possi-
429 ble values are X\bXm\bmP\bPI\bIX\bXM\bMA\bAP\bP and X\bXm\bmS\bST\bTR\bRI\bIN\bNG\bG.

1135 At least Motif 1.1 contains a very anoying bug. If
1136 you try to set the contents of an XmTextField to an
1137 empty string (""), you'll get garbage, when asking
1138 the XmTextField for its contents afterwards. This
1139 interface function provides a work around. Also see

1149 Now I'll annotate a somewhat tricky subject. If the
1150 resource X\bXm\bmN\bNp\bpe\ber\brs\bsi\bis\bst\bte\ben\bnt\btD\bDr\bro\bop\bpD\bDo\bow\bwn\bn defaults to its initial
1151 value of F\bFa\bal\bls\bse\be, one can observe the following effect (this
1152 may be annoying).
1153
1154 When the user drops down the list and then moves the mouse
1155 cursor out of the window where the combo box resides in,
1156 the list will be hidden. This is because the widget lost
1157 the keyboard focus. Some users are irritated because they
1158 didn't expect that behavior, because they just moved the
1159 mouse to get it out of the way. If your window manager's
1160 focus policy is "pointer focus", i.e. if you move the
1161 pointer into another window, that window will automati-
1162 cally get the keyboard focus. On the other hand, if your
1163 window manager's focus policy is "explicit", you have to
1164 move the pointer into another window and click a mouse
1165 button to give that window the keyboard focus. This is
1166 often referred to as the "click-to-type" method. In
1167 "explicit" mode, you will never see the list's annoying
1168 behavior.
1169
1170 To bypass this behavior on some window managers a really
1171 dirty hack was used. The user can activate that hack, if
1172 he sets X\bXm\bmN\bNp\bpe\ber\brs\bsi\bis\bst\bte\ben\bnt\btD\bDr\bro\bop\bpD\bDo\bow\bwn\bn to T\bTr\bru\bue\be in the application's
1173 resources. Sorry, on some window managers this will not
1174 fix the annoying behavior.
1175
1176 Try it if you like - but don't complain at me if it
1177 doesn't work as expected. But at least it worked on the
1178 author's machine: a cute little SGI Indigo running 4dwm as
1179 the window manager.
1180
1181 On some other window managers like twm you will face
1182 another problem: the list gets hidden as soon as the mouse

1201 Using the combo box in your own programs is easy. Just
1202 create the widget with one of the innumerable X toolkit
1203 functions (like X\bXt\btC\bCr\bre\bea\bat\bte\beM\bMa\ban\bna\bag\bge\bed\bdW\bWi\bid\bdg\bge\bet\bt or X\bXt\btV\bVa\baC\bCr\bre\bea\bat\bte\beM\bMa\ban\bn-\b-
1204 a\bag\bge\bed\bdW\bWi\bid\bdg\bge\bet\bt).
1205
1206
1207 Specify as the widget class xmComboBoxWidgetClass - that's
1208 all. There is also a so-called creation convenience func-
1209 tion called X\bXm\bmC\bCr\bre\bea\bat\bte\beC\bCo\bom\bmb\bbo\boB\bBo\box\bx, but it isn't really needed.

1216
1217 Somewhere in your program you'll need something like the
1218 following code fragment:
1219
1220
1221 Widget ComboBox;
1222
1223 ComboBox = XtVaCreateManagedWidget("combobox",
1224 xmComboBoxWidgetClass, Parent,
1225 XmNeditable, True or False,
1226 other Resources...
1227 NULL);
1228
1229
1230 Setting the resource X\bXm\bmN\bNe\bed\bdi\bit\bta\bab\bbl\ble\be is not absolutely neces-
1231 sary, but it's better to do so.
1232
1233 After creation, items can be added to the combo box's list
1234 by means of interface functions like X\bXm\bmC\bCo\bom\bmb\bbo\boB\bBo\box\bxA\bAd\bd-\b-
1235 d\bdI\bIt\bte\bem\bm(\b(.\b..\b..\b.)\b). Which item the user selected can be deter-
1236 mined by calling X\bXm\bmC\bCo\bom\bmb\bbo\boB\bBo\box\bxG\bGe\bet\btS\bSt\btr\bri\bin\bng\bg(\b(.\b..\b..\b.)\b).
1237
1238
1239 If you want to preselect an item (that is setting a
1240 default item to the input field of the combo box) you can
1241 use several convenience functions. On a combo box with a
1242 non editable input field there are two ways to select an
1243 item:
1244
1245
1246 XmComboBoxSelectPos(ComboBox, item #, False);
1247
1248 or:
1249

1263 The third parameter in these two function calls indicates
1264 whether the X\bXm\bmN\bNs\bse\bel\ble\bec\bct\bti\bio\bon\bnC\bCa\bal\bll\blb\bba\bac\bck\bk should be called. The
1265 only difference between these functions is the first one
1266 is expecting an item number whereas the second one expects
1267 a XmString. The list is then searched for this string and
1268 if it is found the input field will be updated.
1269
1270 On a combo box with X\bXm\bmN\bNe\bed\bdi\bit\bta\bab\bbl\ble\be set to T\bTr\bru\bue\be use another
1271 function:
1272
1273 XmComboBoxSetString(ComboBox, string);
1274
1275 This sets the contents of the text input field to string.
