NAME
Composite — The Composite widget class "Composite" "widget class" "Composite"
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 creation 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 programmer to specify data. The
programmer can also set the resource values 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).
