NAME
       Composite - The Composite widget class

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

DESCRIPTION
       Composite  widgets  are intended to be containers for other widgets and
       can have an  arbitrary  number  of  children.   Their  responsibilities
       (implemented  either  directly  by  the	widget	class or indirectly by
       Intrinsics functions) include: Overall management of children from cre‐
       ation  to  destruction.	 Destruction of descendants when the composite
       widget is destroyed.  Physical arrangement (geometry management)	 of  a
       displayable  subset  of	managed	 children.  Mapping and unmapping of a
       subset of the managed children.	Instances of composite widgets need to
       specify	the  order  in which their children are kept.  For example, an
       application may want a set of command buttons  in  some	logical	 order
       grouped	by  function, and it may want buttons that represent filenames
       to be kept in alphabetical order.

   Classes
       Composite inherits behavior and resources from Core.

       The class pointer is compositeWidgetClass.

       The class name is Composite.

   New Resources
       The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the  pro‐
       grammer to specify data.	 The programmer can also set the resource val‐
       ues 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).

       Composite Resource Set

       Class: XmCReadOnly
       Default: NULL
       Type:  WidgetList
       Access: G
       Class: XmCInsertPosition
       Default: NULL
       Type:  XtOrderProc
       Access: CSG
       Class: XmCReadOnly
       Default: 0
       Type:  Cardinal
       Access: G

       A read-only list of the children of the widget.	Points to the XtOrder‐
       Proc  function  described  below.   A read-only resource specifying the
       length of the list of children in XmNchildren.

       The following procedure pointer in a composite widget  instance	is  of
       type XtOrderProc:

       Cardinal (* XtOrderProc) (widget)
	       Widget w;

       Specifies the widget.

       Composite  widgets  that allow clients to order their children (usually
       homogeneous boxes) can call  their  widget  instance's  insert_position
       procedure  from the class's insert_child procedure to determine where a
       new child should go in its children array.  Thus, a client of a compos‐
       ite  class  can apply different sorting criteria to widget instances of
       the class, passing in a different  insert_position  procedure  when  it
       creates each composite widget instance.

       The  return  value  of the insert_position procedure indicates how many
       children should go before the widget.  Returning	 zero  indicates  that
       the  widget should go before all other children; returning num_children
       indicates that it should go after  all  other  children.	  The  default
       insert_position	function returns num_children and can be overridden by
       a specific composite widget's resource list or  by  the	argument  list
       provided when the composite widget is created.

   Inherited Resources
       Composite  inherits  behavior  and  resources from the following super‐
       class.  For a complete description of each resource, refer to the  man‐
       ual page for that superclass.
