XmToggleButtonGadget(3X) OSF/Motif XmToggleButtonGadget(3X)NAMEXmToggleButtonGadget - The ToggleButtonGadget widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/ToggleBG.h>
DESCRIPTION
ToggleButtonGadget sets nontransitory state data within an application.
Usually this gadget consists of an indicator (square or diamond-shaped)
with either text or a pixmap on one side of it. However, it can also
consist of just text or a pixmap without the indicator.
The toggle graphics display a 1-of-many or N-of-many selection state.
When a toggle indicator is displayed, a square indicator shows an N-of-
many selection state and a diamond-shaped indicator shows a 1-of-many
selection state.
ToggleButtonGadget implies a selected or unselected state. In the case
of a label and an indicator, an empty indicator (square or diamond-
shaped) indicates that ToggleButtonGadget is unselected, and a filled
indicator shows that it is selected. In the case of a pixmap toggle,
different pixmaps are used to display the selected/unselected states.
The default behavior associated with a ToggleButtonGadget in a menu
depends on the type of menu system in which it resides. By default,
BSelect controls the behavior of the ToggleButtonGadget. In addition,
BMenu controls the behavior of the ToggleButtonGadget if it resides in
a PopupMenu system. The actual mouse button used is determined by its
RowColumn parent.
To accommodate the toggle indicator when created, Label's resource XmN‐
marginLeft may be increased.
Classes
ToggleButtonGadget inherits behavior and resources from Object, Rec‐
tObj, XmGadget and XmLabelGadget classes.
The class pointer is xmToggleButtonGadgetClass.
The class name is XmToggleButtonGadget.
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).

Specifies a list of callbacks that is called when the ToggleButtonGad‐
get is armed. To arm this gadget, press the active mouse button while
the pointer is inside the ToggleButtonGadget. For this callback, the
reason is XmCR_ARM. Specifies a list of callbacks called when Toggle‐
ButtonGadget is disarmed. To disarm this gadget, press and release the
active mouse button while the pointer is inside the ToggleButtonGadget.
The gadget is also disarmed when the user moves out of the gadget and
releases the mouse button when the pointer is outside the gadget. For
this callback, the reason is XmCR_DISARM. Fills the indicator with the
color specified in XmNselectColor and switches the top and bottom
shadow colors when set to True. Otherwise, it switches only the top
and bottom shadow colors. The default is set to the value of XmNindi‐
catorOn. When XmNindicatorOn is False, and XmNfillOnSelect is set
explicitly to True, the background is filled with the color specified
by XmNselectColor. Specifies that a toggle indicator is drawn to one
side of the toggle text or pixmap when set to True. When set to False,
no space is allocated for the indicator, and it is not displayed. If
XmNindicatorOn is True, the indicator shadows are switched when the
button is selected or unselected, but any shadows around the entire
gadget are not switched. However, if XmNindicatorOn is False, any
shadows around the entire gadget are switched when the toggle is
selected or unselected. Sets the size of the indicator. If no value
is specified, the size of the indicator is based on the size of the
label string or pixmap. If the label string or pixmap changes, the
size of the indicator is recomputed based on the size of the label
string or pixmap. Once a value has been specified for XmNindicator‐
Size, the indicator has that size, regardless of the size of the label
string or pixmap, until a new value is specified. Specifies if the
indicator is a 1-of or an N-of indicator. For the 1-of indicator, the
value is XmONE_OF_MANY. For the N-of indicator, the value is
XmN_OF_MANY. The N-of-many indicator is square. The 1-of-many indica‐
tor is diamond-shaped. This resource specifies only the visuals and
does not enforce the behavior. When the ToggleButtonGadget is in a
RadioBox, the default is XmONE_OF_MANY; otherwise, the default is
XmN_OF_MANY. Allows the application to specify what color fills the
center of the square or diamond-shaped indicator when it is set. If
this color is the same as either the top or the bottom shadow color of
the indicator, a one-pixel-wide margin is left between the shadows and
the fill; otherwise, it is filled completely. This resource's default
for a color display is a color between the background and the bottom
shadow color. For a monochrome display, the default is set to the
foreground color. To set the background of the button to XmNselect‐
Color when XmNindicatorOn is False, the value of XmNfillOnSelect must
be explicitly set to True. Specifies a pixmap used as the button face
when the ToggleButtonGadget is selected and the button is insensitive
if the LabelGadget resource XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP. If the Toggle‐
ButtonGadget is unselected and the button is insensitive, the pixmap in
XmNlabelInsensitivePixmap is used as the button face. If no value is
specified for XmNlabelInsensitivePixmap, that resource is set to the
value specified for XmNselectInsensitivePixmap. Specifies the pixmap
to be used as the button face if XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP and the Tog‐
gleButtonGadget is selected. When the ToggleButtonGadget is unse‐
lected, the pixmap specified in LabelGadget's XmNlabelPixmap is used.
If no value is specified for XmNlabelPixmap, that resource is set to
the value specified for XmNselectPixmap. Represents the state of the
ToggleButton. A value of false indicates that the ToggleButton is not
set. A value of true indicates that the ToggleButton is set. Setting
this resource sets the state of the ToggleButton. Specifies the amount
of spacing between the toggle indicator and the toggle label (text or
pixmap). Specifies a list of callbacks called when the ToggleButton‐
Gadget value is changed. To change the value, press and release the
active mouse button while the pointer is inside the ToggleButtonGadget.
This action also causes the gadget to be disarmed. For this callback,
the reason is XmCR_VALUE_CHANGED. Indicates that the toggle indicator
is visible in the unselected state when the Boolean value is True.
When the ToggleButtonGadget is in a menu, the default value is False.
When the ToggleButtonGadget is in a RadioBox, the default value is
True.

Callback Information
A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback: type‐
def struct { int reason; XEvent * event;
int set; } XmToggleButtonCallbackStruct; Indicates why the
callback was invoked Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback
Reflects the ToggleButtonGadget's current state when the callback
occurred, either True (selected) or False (unselected)
Behavior
XmToggleButtonGadget includes behavior from XmGadget. XmToggleButton‐
Gadget includes menu traversal behavior from XmLabelGadget. Additional
XmToggleButtonGadget behavior is described below: Drags the contents of
a ToggleButtonGadget label, identified by pressing BDrag. This action
creates a DragContext object whose XmNexportTargets resource is set to
"COMPOUND_TEXT" for a label type of XmSTRING; otherwise, "PIXMAP" if
the label type is XmPIXMAP. This action is undefined for ToggleButton‐
Gadgets used in a menu system. In a menu, this action unposts any
menus posted by the ToggleButtonGadget's parent menu, disables keyboard
traversal for the menu, and enables mouse traversal for the menu. It
draws the shadow in the armed state and, unless the button is already
armed, calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, if the button was previously unset, this action does
the following: If XmNindicatorOn is True, it draws the indicator shadow
so that the indicator looks pressed; if XmNfillOnSelect is True, it
fills the indicator with the color specified by XmNselectColor. If
XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the button shadow so that the button
looks pressed. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNselectPixmap is
used as the button face. Calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, if the button was previously set, this action does the
following: If both XmNindicatorOn and XmNvisibleWhenOff are True, it
draws the indicator shadow so that the indicator looks raised; if XmN‐
fillOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator with the background color.
If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the button shadow so that the but‐
ton looks raised. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is
used as the button face. Calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks. In a
menu, this action does the following: It unposts all menus in the menu
hierarchy. If the ToggleButtonGadget was previously set, unsets it; if
the ToggleButtonGadget was previously unset, sets it. It calls the
XmNvalueChangedCallback callbacks and then the XmNdisarmCallback call‐
backs.
If the button is outside a menu and the pointer is within the button,
this action does the following: If the button was previously unset,
sets it; if the button was previously set, unsets it. Calls the XmN‐
valueChangedCallback callbacks.
If the button is outside a menu, calls the XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
In a Pulldown or Popup MenuPane, unposts all menus in the menu hierar‐
chy and, when the shell's keyboard focus policy is XmEXPLICT, restores
keyboard focus to the widget that had the focus before the menu system
was entered. Calls the callbacks for XmNhelpCallback if any exist. If
there are no help callbacks for this widget, this action calls the help
callbacks for the nearest ancestor that has them. In a menu, does the
following: unposts all menus in the menu hierarchy; unless the button
is already armed, calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks; and calls the
XmNvalueChangedCallback and XmNdisarmCallback callbacks. Outside a
menu, if the parent is a manager, passes the event to the parent. If
the ToggleButtonGadget was previously set, unsets it; if the ToggleBut‐
tonGadget was previously unset, sets it.
In a menu, does the following: Unposts all menus in the menu hierarchy.
Unless the button is already armed, calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
Calls the XmNvalueChangedCallback and XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, if the button was previously unset, this action does
the following: If XmNindicatorOn is True, it draws the indicator shadow
so that the indicator looks pressed; if XmNfillOnSelect is True, it
fills the indicator with the color specified by XmNselectColor. If
XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the button shadow so that the button
looks pressed. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNselectPixmap is
used as the button face. Calls the XmNarmCallback, XmNvalueChanged‐
Callback, XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, if the button was previously set, this action does the
following: If both XmNindicatorOn and XmNvisibleWhenOff are True, it
draws the indicator shadow so that the indicator looks raised; if XmN‐
fillOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator with the background color.
If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the button shadow so that the but‐
ton looks raised. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is
used as the button face. Calls the XmNarmCallback, XmNvalueChanged‐
Callback, and XmNdisarmCallback callbacks. In a toplevel Pulldown
MenuPane from a MenuBar, unposts the menu, disarms the MenuBar Cascade‐
Button and the MenuBar, and, when the shell's keyboard focus policy is
XmEXPLICT, restores keyboard focus to the widget that had the focus
before the MenuBar was entered. In other Pulldown MenuPanes, unposts
the menu. Outside a menu, if the parent is a manager, this action
passes the event to the parent.
In a Popup MenuPane, unposts the menu and restores keyboard focus to
the widget from which the menu was posted. In a menu, if keyboard tra‐
versal is enabled, this action does nothing. Otherwise, it draws the
shadow in the armed state and calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
If the ToggleButtonGadget is not in a menu and the cursor leaves and
then reenters the ToggleButtonGadget while the button is pressed, this
action restores the button's armed appearance. In a menu, if keyboard
traversal is enabled, this action does nothing. Otherwise, it draws
the shadow in the unarmed state and calls the XmNdisarmCallback call‐
backs.
If the ToggleButtonGadget is not in a menu and the cursor leaves the
ToggleButtonGadget while the button is pressed, this action restores
the button's unarmed appearance.
