<chapter id='Intrinsics_and_Widgets'> <title>Intrinsics and Widgets</title> <para> The Intrinsics are a programming library tailored to the special requirements of user interface construction within a network window system, specifically the X Window System. The Intrinsics and a widget set make up an X Toolkit. </para> <sect1 id="Intrinsics"> <title>Intrinsics</title> <para> The Intrinsics provide the base mechanism necessary to build a wide variety of interoperating widget sets and application environments. The Intrinsics are a layer on top of Xlib, the C Library X Interface. They extend the fundamental abstractions provided by the X Window System while still remaining independent of any particular user interface policy or style. </para> <para> The Intrinsics use object-oriented programming techniques to supply a consistent architecture for constructing and composing user interface components, known as widgets. This allows programmers to extend a widget set in new ways, either by deriving new widgets from existing ones (subclassing) or by writing entirely new widgets following the established conventions. </para> <para> When the Intrinsics were first conceived, the root of the object hierarchy was a widget class named Core. In Release 4 of the Intrinsics, three nonwidget superclasses were added above Core. These superclasses are described in <xref linkend='Nonwidget_Objects' />. The name of the class now at the root of the Intrinsics class hierarchy is Object. The remainder of this specification refers uniformly to <emphasis remap='I'>widgets</emphasis> and <emphasis remap='I'>Core</emphasis> as if they were the base class for all Intrinsics operations. The argument descriptions for each Intrinsics procedure and <xref linkend='Nonwidget_Objects' /> describe which operations are defined for the nonwidget superclasses of Core. The reader may determine by context whether a specific reference to <emphasis remap='I'>widget</emphasis> actually means ``widget'' or ``object.'' </para> </sect1> <sect1 id="Languages"> <title>Languages</title> <para> The Intrinsics are intended to be used for two programming purposes. Programmers writing widgets will be using most of the facilities provided by the Intrinsics to construct user interface components from the simple, such as buttons and scrollbars, to the complex, such as control panels and property sheets. Application programmers will use a much smaller subset of the Intrinsics procedures in combination with one or more sets of widgets to construct and present complete user interfaces on an X display. The Intrinsics programming interfaces primarily intended for application use are designed to be callable from most procedural programming languages. Therefore, most arguments are passed by reference rather than by value. The interfaces primarily intended for widget programmers are expected to be used principally from the C language. In these cases, the usual C programming conventions apply. In this specification, the term <emphasis remap='I'>client</emphasis> refers to any module, widget, or application that calls an Intrinsics procedure. </para> <para> Applications that use the Intrinsics mechanisms must include the header files <function><X11/Intrinsic.h></function> and <function><X11/StringDefs.h></function>, or their equivalent, and they may also include <function><X11/Xatoms.h></function> and <function><X11/Shell.h></function>. In addition, widget implementations should include <function><X11/IntrinsicP.h></function> instead of <function><X11/Intrinsic.h></function>. </para> <para> The applications must also include the additional header files for each widget class that they are to use (for example, <function><X11/Xaw/Label.h></function> or <function><X11/Xaw/Scrollbar.h>).</function> On a POSIX-based system, the Intrinsics object library file is named <function>libXt.a</function> and is usually referenced as \-lXt when linking the application. </para> </sect1> <sect1 id="Procedures_and_Macros"> <title>Procedures and Macros</title> <para> All functions defined in this specification except those specified below may be implemented as C macros with arguments. C applications may use ``#undef'' to remove a macro definition and ensure that the actual function is referenced. Any such macro will expand to a single expression that has the same precedence as a function call and that evaluates each of its arguments exactly once, fully protected by parentheses, so that arbitrary expressions may be used as arguments. </para> <para> The following symbols are macros that do not have function equivalents and that may expand their arguments in a manner other than that described above: <xref linkend='XtCheckSubclass' xrefstyle='select: title'/>, <xref linkend='XtNew' xrefstyle='select: title'/>, <xref linkend='XtNumber' xrefstyle='select: title'/>, <xref linkend='XtOffsetOf' xrefstyle='select: title'/>, <xref linkend='XtOffset' xrefstyle='select: title'/>, and <xref linkend='XtSetArg' xrefstyle='select: title'/>. </para> </sect1> <sect1 id="Widgets"> <title>Widgets</title> <para> The fundamental abstraction and data type of the X Toolkit is the widget, which is a combination of an X window and its associated input and display semantics and which is dynamically allocated and contains state information. Some widgets display information (for example, text or graphics), and others are merely containers for other widgets (for example, a menu box). Some widgets are output-only and do not react to pointer or keyboard input, and others change their display in response to input and can invoke functions that an application has attached to them. </para> <para> Every widget belongs to exactly one widget class, which is statically allocated and initialized and which contains the operations allowable on widgets of that class. Logically, a widget class is the procedures and data associated with all widgets belonging to that class. These procedures and data can be inherited by subclasses. Physically, a widget class is a pointer to a structure. The contents of this structure are constant for all widgets of the widget class but will vary from class to class. (Here, ``constant'' means the class structure is initialized at compile time and never changed, except for a one-time class initialization and in-place compilation of resource lists, which takes place when the first widget of the class or subclass is created.) For further information, see <xref linkend='Creating_Widgets' /> </para> <para> The distribution of the declarations and code for a new widget class among a public .h file for application programmer use, a private .h file for widget programmer use, and the implementation .c file is described in <xref linkend='Widget_Classing' /> The predefined widget classes adhere to these conventions. </para> <para> A widget instance is composed of two parts: </para> <itemizedlist spacing='compact'> <listitem> <para> A data structure which contains instance-specific values. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> A class structure which contains information that is applicable to all widgets of that class. </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> <para> Much of the input/output of a widget (for example, fonts, colors, sizes, or border widths) is customizable by users. </para> <para> This chapter discusses the base widget classes, Core, Composite, and Constraint, and ends with a discussion of widget classing. </para> <sect2 id="Core_Widgets"> <title>Core Widgets</title> <para> The Core widget class contains the definitions of fields common to all widgets.

As a consequence, widgets usually do not implement directly callable procedures; rather, they implement procedures, called methods, that are available through their widget class structure. These methods are invoked by generic procedures that envelop common actions around the methods implemented by the widget class. Such procedures are applicable to all widgets of that class and also to widgets whose classes are subclasses of that class. </para> <para> All widget classes are a subclass of Core and can be subclassed further. Subclassing reduces the amount of code and declarations necessary to make a new widget class that is similar to an existing class. For example, you do not have to describe every resource your widget uses in an <function>XtResourceList</function>. Instead, you describe only the resources your widget has that its superclass does not. Subclasses usually inherit many of their superclasses' procedures (for example, the expose procedure or geometry handler). </para> <para> Subclassing, however, can be taken too far. If you create a subclass that inherits none of the procedures of its superclass, you should consider whether you have chosen the most appropriate superclass. </para> <para> To make good use of subclassing, widget declarations and naming conventions are highly stylized. A widget consists of three files: </para> <itemizedlist spacing='compact'> <listitem> <para> A public .h file, used by client widgets or applications. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> A private .h file, used by widgets whose classes are subclasses of the widget class. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> A .c file, which implements the widget. </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> <sect2 id="Widget_Naming_Conventions"> <title>Widget Naming Conventions</title> <para> The Intrinsics provide a vehicle by which programmers can create new widgets and organize a collection of widgets into an application. To ensure that applications need not deal with as many styles of capitalization and spelling as the number of widget classes it uses, the following guidelines should be followed when writing new widgets: </para> <itemizedlist spacing='compact'> <listitem> <para> Use the X library naming conventions that are applicable. For example, a record component name is all lowercase and uses underscores (_) for compound words (for example, background_pixmap). Type and procedure names start with uppercase and use capitalization for compound words (for example, <function>ArgList</function> or <function>XtSetValues ).</function> </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> A resource name is spelled identically to the field name except that compound names use capitalization rather than underscore. To let the compiler catch spelling errors, each resource name should have a symbolic identifier prefixed with ``XtN''. For example, the <emphasis remap='I'>background_pixmap</emphasis> field has the corresponding identifier XtNbackgroundPixmap, which is defined as the string ``backgroundPixmap''. Many predefined names are listed in <function><X11/StringDefs.h></function>. Before you invent a new name, you should make sure there is not already a name that you can use. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> A resource class string starts with a capital letter and uses capitalization for compound names (for example,``BorderWidth''). Each resource class string should have a symbolic identifier prefixed with ``XtC'' (for example, XtCBorderWidth). Many predefined classes are listed in <function><X11/StringDefs.h></function>. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> A resource representation string is spelled identically to the type name (for example, ``TranslationTable''). Each representation string should have a symbolic identifier prefixed with ``XtR'' (for example, XtRTranslationTable). Many predefined representation types are listed in <function><X11/StringDefs.h></function>. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> New widget classes start with a capital and use uppercase for compound words.

The pointer value itself is not significant; clients must not assume that inequality of two identifiers implies inequality of the resource name, class, or representation string.

These procedures have the responsibility of doing any dynamic initializations necessary to their class's part of the record. The most common is the resolution of any inherited methods defined in the class. For example, if a widget class C has superclasses Core, Composite, A, and B, the class record for C first is passed to Core 's class_part_initialize procedure. This resolves any inherited Core methods and compiles the textual representations of the resource list and action table that are defined in the class record. Next, Composite's class_part_initialize procedure is called to initialize the composite part of C's class record. Finally, the class_part_initialize procedures for A, B, and C, in that order, are called. For further information, see <xref linkend='Initializing_a_Widget_Class' /> Classes that do not define any new class fields or that need no extra processing for them can specify NULL in the <emphasis remap='I'>class_part_initialize</emphasis> field. </para> <para> All widget classes, whether they have a class initialization procedure or not, must start with their <emphasis remap='I'>class_inited</emphasis> field <function>False</function>. </para> <para> The first time a widget of a class is created, <xref linkend='XtCreateWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/> ensures that the widget class and all superclasses are initialized, in superclass-to-subclass order, by checking each <emphasis remap='I'>class_inited</emphasis> field and, if it is <function>False</function>, by calling the class_initialize and the class_part_initialize procedures for the class and all its superclasses.

For example, a widget's expose procedure might call its superclass's <emphasis remap='I'>expose</emphasis> and then perform a little more work on its own.
