XmDropSite(3X) XmDropSite(3X) NAME XmDropSite - The DropSite Registry SYNOPSIS #include <Xm/DragDrop.h> DESCRIPTION A client registers a widget or gadget as a drop site using the XmDrop- SiteRegister function. In addition, this routine defines the behavior and capabilities of a drop site by specifying appropriate resources. For example, the XmNimportTargets and XmNnumImportTargets resources identify respectively the selection target types and number of types supported by a drop site. The visual animation effects associated with a drop site are also described with DropSite resources. Drop site animation effects that occur in response to the pointer en- tering a valid drop site are called drag-under effects. A receiver can select from several animation styles supplied by the toolkit or can provide customized animation effects. Drag-under effects supplied by the toolkit include border highlighting, shadow in/out drawing, and pixmap representation. When a preregister drag protocol style is used, the toolkit generates drag-under visual effects based on the value of the XmNanimationStyle resource. In dynamic mode, if the drop site XmNdragProc resource is NULL, the toolkit also provides animation effects based on the XmNani- mationStyle resource. Otherwise, if the XmNdragProc routine is speci- fied, the receiver can either assume responsibility for animation ef- fects (through the XmNdragProc routine) or rely on the toolkit to pro- vide animation. Drop sites may overlap. The initial stacking order corresponds to the order in which the drop sites were registered. When a drop site over- laps another drop site, the drag-under effects of the drop site under- neath are clipped by the obscuring drop site(s). The XmDropSiteUpdate routine sets resources for a widget that is regis- tered as a drop site. XmDropSiteRetrieve gets drop site resource val- ues previously specified for a registered widget. These routines are used instead of XtSetValues and XtGetValues. Classes XmDropSite does not inherit from any widget class. New Resources The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the pro- grammer to specify data. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remain- ing 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 XmDropSiteUpdate (S), re- trieved by using XmDropSiteRetrieve (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

Specifies a pixmap for drag-under animation when the animation style is XmDRAG_UNDER_PIXMAP. The pixmap is drawn with its ori- gin at the upper left corner of the bounding box of the drop site. If the drop site window is larger than the animation pixmap, the portion of the window not covered by the pixmap will be tiled with the window's background color. Specifies the depth of the pixmap specified by the XmNanimationPixmap re- source. When the depth is 1, the colors are taken from the foreground and background of the drop site widget. For any other value, drop site animation occurs only if the XmNanima- tionPixmapDepth matches the depth of the drop site window. Col- ors are derived from the current colormap. Specifies the drag- under animation style used when a drag enters a valid drop site. The possible values are: The drop site uses highlighting ef- fects. The drop site uses an outset shadow. The drop site uses an inset shadow. The drop site uses the pixmap specified by Xm- NanimationPixmap to indicate that it can receive the drop. The drop site does not use animation effects. A client using a dy- namic protocol, may provide drag-under effects in its XmNdrag- Proc routine. Specifies the procedure that is invoked when the drop site receives a crossing, motion, or operation changed mes- sage. This procedure is called only when a dynamic protocol is used. The type of structure whose address is passed to this pro- cedure is XmDragProcCallbackStruct. The reason sent to the pro- cedure is one of the following: XmCR_DROP_SITE_ENTER_MESSAGE XmCR_DROP_SITE_LEAVE_MESSAGE XmCR_DRAG_MOTION_MESSAGE XmCR_OPERATION_CHANGED_MESSAGE The drag procedure may change the values of some members of the XmDragProcCallbackStruct passed to it. After the drag procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final values in initializing some members of the callback struct passed to the appropriate call- backs of the initiator (the DragContext's XmNdropSiteEnterCall- back, XmNdropSiteLeaveCallback, XmNdragMotionCallback, or XmNop- erationChangedCallback callbacks). Specifies the procedure that is invoked when a drop (excluding a cancel or interrupt action) occurs on a drop site regardless of the status of the drop site. The type of the structure whose address is passed to this proce- dure is XmDropProcCallbackStruct. The reason sent to the proce- dure is XmCR_DROP_MESSAGE. The drop procedure may change the values of some members of the XmDropProcCallbackStruct passed to it. After the drop procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final values in initializing some members of the XmDropStartCallbackStruct passed to the initia- tor's drop start callbacks (the DragContext's XmNdropStartCall- back callbacks). Specifies a list of rectangles that describe the shape of a drop site. The locations of the rectangles are relative to the origin of the enclosing object. When XmN- dropRectangles is NULL, the drop site is assumed to be the sen- sitive area of the enclosing widget. If XmNdropSiteType is Xm- DROP_SITE_COMPOSITE, this resource cannot be specified by the application. Indicates whether a drop site is active or inac- tive. The values are XmDROP_SITE_ACTIVE and XmDROP_SITE_INAC- TIVE. An active drop site can receive a drop, whereas an inac- tive drop site is dormant. An inactive drop site is treated as if it was not a registered drop site and any drag-under visuals associated with entering or leaving the drop site do not occur. However, it is still used for clipping drag-under effects. Specifies the set of valid operations associated with a drop site. This resource is a bit mask that is formed by combining one or more of the following values using a bitwise operation such as inclusive OR (|): XmDROP_COPY, XmDROP_LINK, and Xm- DROP_MOVE. The value XmDROP_NOOP for this resource indicates that no operations are valid. Specifies the type of the drop site. The possible values are: The widget does not have any ad- ditional children that are registered as drop sites. The widget will have children that are registered as drop sites. Specifies the list of target atoms that this drop site accepts. Specifies the number of rectangles in the XmNdropRectangles list. If the drop site type is XmDROP_SITE_COMPOSITE, this resource can not be specified by the application. Specifies the number of atoms in the target atom list. Callback Information A pointer to the following structure is passed to the XmNdragProc rou- tine when the drop site receives crossing, motion, or operation changed messages. typedef struct { int reason; XEvent *event; Time timeStamp; Widget dragContext; Position x; Position y; unsigned char dropSiteStatus; unsigned char operation; unsigned char operations; Boolean animate; }XmDragProcCallbackStruct, *XmDragProcCall- back; Indicates why the callback was invoked. Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback. Specifies the timestamp of the logical event. Specifies the ID of the DragContext widget associated with the transac- tion. Indicates the x-coordinate of the pointer relative to the drop site. Indicates the y-coordinate of the pointer relative to the drop site. An IN/OUT member that indicates whether or not a drop site is valid. When the reason is XmCR_DROP_SITE_ENTER_MESSAGE or XmCR_OPERA- TION_CHANGED_MESSAGE, or when the reason is XmCR_DRAG_MO- TION_MESSAGE or XmCR_DROP_SITE_LEAVE_MESSAGE and the pointer is not in the same drop site as on the previous invocation of the drag procedure, the toolkit initializes dropSiteStatus as fol- lows: the toolkit initializes dropSiteStatus to Xm- DROP_SITE_VALID if the DragContext's XmNexportTargets and the DropSite's XmNimportTargets are compatible and if the initial value of the operation member is not XmDROP_NOOP. Otherwise, the toolkit initializes dropSiteStatus to XmDROP_SITE_INVALID. When the reason is XmCR_DRAG_MOTION_MESSAGE or XmCR_DROP_SITE_LEAVE_MESSAGE and the pointer is within the same drop site as on the previous invocation of the drag procedure, the toolkit initializes dropSiteStatus to the value of drop- SiteStatus at the time the previous invocation of the drag pro- cedure returns. The drag procedure may change the value of this member. After the drag procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final value in initializing the dropSiteStatus member of the callback struct passed to the appropriate callbacks of the initiator. An IN/OUT member that identifies an operation. The toolkit initializes operation by selecting an operation from the bitwise AND of the initial value of the operations member and the value of the DropSite's XmNdropSiteOperations resource. The toolkit searches this set first for XmDROP_MOVE, then for XmDROP_COPY, then for XmDROP_LINK, and initializes operation to the first operation it finds in the set. If the toolkit finds none of these operations in the set, it initializes operation to XmDROP_NOOP. The drag procedure may change the value of this member. After the drag procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final value in initializing the operation member of the callback struct passed to the appropriate callbacks of the initiator. An IN/OUT member that indicates the set of operations supported for the source data. If the user does not select an operation (by pressing a modifier key), the toolkit initializes operations to the value of the DragContext's XmNdragOperations resource. If the user does se- lect an operation, the toolkit initializes operations to the bitwise AND of the corresponding operation and the value of the DragContext's XmNdragOperations resource. If the resulting set of operations is empty, the toolkit initializes operations to XmDROP_NOOP. The drag procedure may change the value of this member. After the drag procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final value in initializing the operations member of the callback struct passed to the appropriate callbacks of the initiator. An OUT member that indicates whether the toolkit or the receiver client pro- vides drag-under effects for a valid drop site. If animate is set to True, the toolkit provides drop site animation per the XmNanimationStyle resource value; if it is set to False, the re- ceiver generates drag-under animation effects. A pointer to the following structure is passed to the XmNdropProc rou- tine when the drop site receives a drop message: typedef struct { int reason; XEvent *event; Time timeStamp; Widget dragContext; Position x; Position y; unsigned char dropSiteStatus; unsigned char operation; unsigned char operations; unsigned char dropAction; }XmDropProcCallbackStruct, *XmDropProcCall- back; Indicates why the callback was invoked. Specifies the XEvent that triggered the callback. Specifies the timestamp of the logical event. Specifies the ID of the DragContext widget associated with the transac- tion. Indicates the x-coordinate of the pointer relative to the drop site. Indicates the y-coordinate of the pointer relative to the drop site. An IN/OUT member that indicates whether or not a drop site is valid. The toolkit initializes dropSiteStatus to XmDROP_SITE_VALID if the DragContext's XmNexportTargets and the DropSite's XmNimport- Targets are compatible and if the initial value of the operation member is not XmDROP_NOOP. Otherwise, the toolkit initializes dropSiteStatus to XmDROP_SITE_INVALID. The drop procedure may change the value of this member. After the drop procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final value in initializing the dropSiteStatus member of the XmDropStartCall- backStruct passed to the initiator's drop start callbacks (the DragContext's XmNdropStartCallback callbacks). An IN/OUT member that identifies an operation. The toolkit initializes operation by selecting an operation from the bitwise AND of the initial value of the operations member and the value of the DropSite's XmNdropSiteOperations resource. The toolkit searches this set first for XmDROP_MOVE, then for XmDROP_COPY, then for XmDROP_LINK, and initializes operation to the first operation it finds in the set. If it finds none of these operations in the set, it initializes operation to Xm- DROP_NOOP. The drop procedure may change the value of this member. After the drop procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final value in initializing the operation member of the XmDropStartCallback- Struct passed to the initiator's drop start callbacks (the Drag- Context's XmNdropStartCallback callbacks). An IN/OUT member that indicates the set of operations supported for the source data. If the user does not select an operation (by pressing a modifier key), the toolkit initializes operations to the value of the DragContext's XmNdragOperations resource. If the user does se- lect an operation, the toolkit initializes operations to the bitwise AND of the corresponding operation and the value of the DragContext's XmNdragOperations resource. If the resulting set of operations is empty, the toolkit initializes operations to XmDROP_NOOP. The drop procedure may change the value of this member. After the drop procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final value in initializing the operations member of the XmDropStartCallback- Struct passed to the initiator's drop start callbacks (the Drag- Context's XmNdropStartCallback callbacks). An IN/OUT member that identifies the action associated with the drop. The possi- ble values are: A drop was attempted. If the drop site is valid, drop transfer handling proceeds. The user has requested help on the drop site. The drop procedure may change the value of this member. After the drop procedure returns, the toolkit uses the final value in initializing the dropAction member of the XmDropStartCallbackStruct passed to the ini- tiator's drop start callbacks (the DragContext's XmNdropStartCallback callbacks).
