NAME
XmToggleButton - The ToggleButton widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/ToggleB.h>
DESCRIPTION
ToggleButton sets nontransitory state data within an application. Usu-
ally this widget consists of an indicator (square or diamond) with ei-
ther 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 indicator shows a 1-of-many selec-
tion state.
ToggleButton implies a selected or unselected state. In the case of a
label and an indicator, an empty indicator (square or diamond shaped)
indicates that ToggleButton 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 ToggleButton in a menu depends
on the type of menu system in which it resides. By default, BSelect
controls the behavior of the ToggleButton. In addition, BMenu controls
the behavior of the ToggleButton 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
ToggleButton inherits behavior and resources from Core, XmPrimitive,
and XmLabel Classes.
The class pointer is xmToggleButtonWidgetClass.
The class name is XmToggleButton.
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 the list of callbacks called when the ToggleButton is
armed. To arm this widget, press the active mouse button while
the pointer is inside the ToggleButton. For this callback, the
reason is XmCR_ARM. Specifies the list of callbacks called when
ToggleButton is disarmed. To disarm this widget, press and re-
lease the active mouse button while the pointer is inside the
ToggleButton. This widget is also disarmed when the user moves
out of the widget and releases the mouse button when the pointer
is outside the widget. 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 bot-
tom 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 indica-
tor, 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 widget are not
switched. However, if XmNindicatorOn is False, any shadows
around the entire widget are switched when the toggle is se-
lected 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 XmNindicatorSize, the indicator has that size, re-
gardless of the size of the label string or pixmap, until a new
value is specified. Specifies if the indicator is a 1-of or 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
indicator is diamond shaped. This resource specifies only the
visuals and does not enforce the behavior. When the ToggleButton
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 mar-
gin 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 XmNselectColor
when XmNindicatorOn is False, the value of XmNfillOnSelect must
be explicitly set to True. Specifies a pixmap used as the but-
ton face when the ToggleButton is selected and the button is in-
sensitive if the Label resource XmNlabelType is set to XmPIXMAP.
If the ToggleButton 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 XmNselectInsen-
sitivePixmap. Specifies the pixmap to be used as the button
face if XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP and the ToggleButton is se-
lected. When the ToggleButton is unselected, the pixmap speci-
fied in Label'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 the list of callbacks called
when the ToggleButton value is changed. To change the value,
press and release the active mouse button while the pointer is
inside the ToggleButton. This action also causes this widget to
be disarmed. For this callback, the reason is
XmCR_VALUE_CHANGED. Indicates that the toggle indicator is vis-
ible in the unselected state when the Boolean value is True.
When the ToggleButton is in a menu, the default value is False.
When the ToggleButton 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 trig-
gered the callback Reflects the ToggleButton's current state when the
callback occurred, either True (selected) or False (unselected)
Translations
XmToggleButton includes translations from Primitive. Additional XmTog-
gleButton translations for buttons not in a menu system are listed be-
low. These translations may not directly correspond to a translation
table.
Note that altering translations in #override or #augment mode is unde-
fined. BDragPress: ProcessDrag() BSelect Press: Arm() BSelect Re-
lease:Select()
Disarm() KHelp: Help() KSelect: ArmAndAc-
tivate()
XmToggleButton inherits menu traversal translations from XmLabel. Addi-
tional XmToggleButton translations for ToggleButtons in a menu system
are listed below. In a Popup menu system, BMenu also performs the BSe-
lect actions. These translations may not directly correspond to a
translation table. BSelect Press: BtnDown() BSelect Release:BtnUp()
KHelp: Help() KActivate: ArmAndActivate() KSelect:
ArmAndActivate() MAny KCancel: MenuShellPopdownOne()
Action Routines
The XmToggleButton action routines are described below: 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.
If the button was previously set, this action does the follow-
ing: If both XmNindicatorOn and XmNvisibleWhenOff are True, it
draws the indicator shadow so that the indicator looks raised;
if XmNfillOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator with the
background color. If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws the but-
ton shadow so that the button looks raised. If XmNlabelType is
XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used as the button face. Calls
the XmNarmCallback callbacks. If the ToggleButton was previ-
ously set, unsets it; if the ToggleButton was previously unset,
sets it.
In a menu, does the following: Unposts all menus in the menu hi-
erarchy. Unless the button is already armed, calls the XmNarm-
Callback callbacks. Calls the XmNvalueChangedCallback and Xm-
NdisarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, if the button was previously unset, this action
does the following: If XmNindicatorOn is True, it draws the in-
dicator shadow so that the indicator looks pressed; if XmNfil-
lOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator with the color speci-
fied 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, XmNvalueChangedCallback, and XmNdis-
armCallback 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 XmNfillOnSelect is True, it fills the indicator
with the background color. If XmNindicatorOn is False, it draws
the button shadow so that the button looks raised. If XmNlabel-
Type is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used as the button face.
Calls the XmNarmCallback, XmNvalueChangedCallback, and XmNdis-
armCallback callbacks. This action unposts any menus posted by
the ToggleButton'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. This action unposts
all menus in the menu hierarchy. If the ToggleButton was previ-
ously set, unsets it; if the ToggleButton was previously unset,
sets it. It calls the XmNvalueChangedCallback callbacks and then
the XmNdisarmCallback callbacks. Calls the callbacks for Xm-
NdisarmCallback. In a Pulldown or Popup MenuPane, unposts all
menus in the menu hierarchy and 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
toplevel Pulldown MenuPane from a MenuBar, unposts the menu,
disarms the MenuBar CascadeButton and the MenuBar, and restores
keyboard focus to the widget that had the focus before the
MenuBar was entered. In other Pulldown MenuPanes, unposts the
menu.
In a Popup MenuPane, unposts the menu and restores keyboard fo-
cus to the widget from which the menu was posted. Drags the
contents of a ToggleButton 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 ToggleButtons used in a menu system. If the
pointer is within the button, takes the following actions: If
the button was previously unset, sets it; if the button was pre-
viously set, unsets it. Calls the XmNvalueChangedCallback call-
backs.
Additional Behavior
This widget has the additional behavior described below: In a menu, if
keyboard traversal is enabled, this action does nothing. Otherwise, it
draws the shadow in the armed state and calls the XmNarmCallback call-
backs.
If the ToggleButton is not in a menu and the cursor leaves and
then reenters the ToggleButton's window while the button is
pressed, this action restores the button's armed appearance. In
a menu, if keyboard traversal is enabled, this action does noth-
ing. Otherwise, it draws the shadow in the unarmed state and
calls the XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
If the ToggleButton is not in a menu and the cursor leaves the
ToggleButton's window while the button is pressed, this action
restores the button's unarmed appearance.
