NAME
XbaeMatrix - The Bellcore Application Environment (BAE) XbaeMatrix widget class.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xbae/Matrix.h>
DESCRIPTION
XbaeMatrix presents an editable array of string data to the user in a scrollable grid-like
format similar to a spreadsheet. Non editable pixmaps can also be displayed on the
matrix. The rows and columns of the Matrix may optionally be labeled. Also, a number of
fixed leading or trailing rows or columns may be specified - these behave similarly to the
labels. While XbaeMatrix looks and acts like a grid of XmText widgets, it actually
contains only one XmText. This means that XbaeMatrix widgets with hundreds or thousands
of rows have much less overhead than they would if they used an XmText for each cell.
Clicking on a cell with Button1 will edit the cell. While a cell is being edited, Tab and
Shift-Tab will edit the cell to the right or left respectively. The osfUp and osfDown
keys will edit the cell above or below. Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab will traverse out of
the Matrix and into the next or previous tab groups.
The osfCancel key will cancel any edits made to a cell. The osfActivate key will commit
any edits made to a cell and store them in the Matrix. When traversing from another tab
group into the Matrix, the focus will go to whichever cell is currently being edited. If
no cells are being edited, then the upper left most visible non-fixed cell will be edited.
The column sizes may be dynamically resized by pressing the Shift-Button2 combination when
over a column boundary, similar to the behaviour of some popular spreadsheets. After a
column has been resized in this manner, the XbaeMatrix calls the callbacks on the
XmNresizeColumnCallback callback list for post processing.
If the Matrix is resized until it is too small to display all of the cells in a given
dimension, then it will display a ScrollBar for that dimension. The horizontal ScrollBar
will scroll the cells and column labels, but not the row labels, fixed columns or trailing
fixed columns. The vertical ScrollBar will scroll the cells and row labels, but not the
column labels, fixed rows or trailing fixed rows.
For the application programmer, XbaeMatrix provides callbacks to assist in data
validation. The callbacks on the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback callback list are called before
text is inserted into, or deleted from, a cell. This callback list can be used to force
user input to match a certain pattern (e.g. a date format). Similarly, the
XmNvalueChangedCallback is called after text is inserted or deleted.
When a cell is edited (by clicking on it or tabbing into it), the XmNleaveCellCallback
callbacks are called for the previous cell being edited, if any. The application can
verify the data entered in that cell and disallow editing of the new cell if the data is
invalid. If the data was valid, then the XmNenterCellCallback callbacks for the new cell
are called. These callbacks can be used to specify the editability of the new cell.
The XmNtraverseCellCallback callbacks are also called when the user attempts to edit a new
cell and when the matrix gains or looses focus. This allows the application to override
the default traversal behavior of XbaeMatrix.
The XmNdefaultActionCallback is provided to allow a double click action in a cell to
perform some function.
Motif's Drag and Drop functionality can be achieved via the XmNprocessDragCallback.
For large amounts of data, the overhead of assigning data to the widget can be avoided
using the XmNdrawCellCallback. This callback also allows user defined pixmaps to be
placed in a certain cell. When using this callback, data for string fields can be written
back to the application by using the XmNwriteCellCallback.

Callback Information
XbaeMatrixAnyCallbackStruct
A callback struct that is suitable for all callbacks that require the reason, event,
row and column to be available. Any callback called may therefore cast the third
parameter to the following struct in XbaeMatrix and can rest assured that evrything
in it will be available.
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
int row;
int column;
XEvent *event;
} XbaeMatrixAnyCallbackStruct;
Each of the members are set to the appropriate struct for the callback.
If this idea is a little foreign to you, recommended reading is K&R II page 213.
XmNdefaultActionCallback
Callbacks on the XmNdefaultActionCallback list are called when the DefaultAction()
action occurs. The application can bind the DefaultAction() action to any pointer
based event. When a double click occurs on this pointer event, DefaultAction() will
call the callbacks on the XmNdefaultActionCallback list. A pointer to the following
structure is passed to each callback on the XmNdefaultActionCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
} XbaeMatrixDefaultActionCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeDefaultActionReason .
event The event that invoked this callback.
row The row number of the cell in which the double click occurred.
column The column number of the cell in which the double click occurred.
event
If an application has an XmNdefaultActionCallback, then the callbacks on the list
will be called when the user clicks twice in a cell within XmNdoubleClickInterval,
enabling some action to occur for the particular cell.
XmNdrawCellCallback
Callbacks on the XmNdrawCellCallback list are called when the widget needs to draw a
cell. A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback on the
XmNdrawCellCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
int width;
int height;
XbaeCellType type;
String string;
Pixmap pixmap;
Pixmap mask;
Pixel foreground;
Pixel background;
int depth;
} XbaeMatrixDrawCellCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeDrawCellReason.
event Always set to NULL
row The row number of the cell that needs to be drawn.
column The column number of the cell that needs to be drawn.
width The width of the cell that needs to be drawn.
height The height of the cell that needs to be drawn.
type The type of ``data'' the programmer wants drawn in the cell, or which field
should be looked at for data to draw: string or pixmap.
string The string to draw if type is set to XbaeString or XbaeStringFree.
pixmap The pixmap to copy if type is set to XbaePixmap. It will be clipped to
width by height if necessary.
mask A mask for the pixmap as obtained from the XPM library. mask is only
necessary when pixmap has a depth greater than one.
foreground
The foreground color of the cell.
background
The background color of the cell.
depth The depth of the pixmap image (in bits per pixel).
If the application adds this callback, when the XbaeMatrix determines that a cell at
(row, column) needs to be redrawn, the normal cell drawing mechanism will be skipped
and this callback called so the application can tell the widget what to put in the
cell.
The type field is defaulted to XbaeString and no cacheing or saving of the string or
pixmap is done.
If the application sets type to XbaePixmap, the width, height and depth of the
returned pixmap will be calculated with a call to XGetGeometry(). If the programmer
wishes to supply the width, height and depth there is a marked improvement as a round
trip to the X server is avoided. Note that all geometry parameters must be supplied
to ensure successful display of the pixmap.
If a mask is also provided, it will be used to display the pixmap transparently.
Pixmaps drawn in cells also respect the value of XmNcolumnAlignments.
By defining an XmNdrawCellCallback the need for the storage of the XbaeMatrix data
within the matrix is eliminated and can prove to be advantageous for memory usage.
To write the data back to the application, use the XmNwriteCellCallback described
below.
XmNenterCellCallback
Callbacks on the XmNenterCellCallback list are called from the EditCell() action just
before a cell is edited to determine it's editability. A pointer to the following
structure is passed to each callback on the XmNenterCellCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
int position;
String pattern;
Boolean auto_fill;
Boolean convert_case;
Boolean overwrite_mode;
Boolean select_text;
Boolean map;
Cardinal num_params;
String *params;
Boolean doit;
} XbaeMatrixEnterCellCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeEnterCellReason.
event The event that invoked the callback.
row The row number of the cell about to be edited.
column The column number of the cell about to be edited.
position The location of the cursor in the text field. The default is to place the
cursor at the end of the string in the cell.
pattern A pattern for the XbaeInput widget (see XbaeInput(3)). The default is to
not specify a pattern.
auto_fill Used in conjunction with the setting of the pattern to allow literals in
the pattern to be automatically inserted.
convert_case
If the pattern specifies an upper or lower case letter, the character typed
in the position can automatically be converted to the appropriate case when
set to True. The default is to not convert the case of the typed letter.
overwrite_mode
Normally, the cursor appears as the familiar I caret. By setting
overwrite_mode to True, the text field will go into overwrite mode where
keystrokes replace the character underneath the block cursor.
select_text
Indicates whether the text in the cell should be highlighted (only valid if
doit is set to True also.
map Tells the matrix if the XmText should be mapped onto the cell. Only makes
sense if doit is set to False.
num_params
The number of String parameters passed to the EditCell() action.
params An array containing the num_params String parameters passed to the
EditCell() action.
doit Indicates whether or not this cell is editable. Setting doit to False will
make this cell not editable. The default value is True.
If the application determines that the cell at (row, column) is not editable, it
should set the doit flag to False. If the map flag is also set to False, XbaeMatrix
will not place the XmText cell editor on the cell. If map is left as True, the
XmText will be placed on the cell but the user will not be able to add or delete
characters from it. If the application leaves doit as True, then the TextField will
be editable. In addition, if select_text is set to True, the text in the cell will
be selected via XmTextSetSelection. Assuming XmNpendingDelete for the XmText is also
True, the selected text will be deleted as soon as the next text insertion occurs.
XmNlabelActivateCallback
Callbacks on the XmNlabelActivateCallback list are called after a button label has
been activated via a mouse click. A pointer to the following structure is passed to
each callback on the XmNlabelActivateCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
Boolean row_label;
String label;
} XbaeMatrixLabelActivateCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeLabelActivateReason.
event The event that invoked this callback.
row The row number of the button label or -1 if the button was a column label.
column The column number of the button label or -1 if the button was a row label.
row_label If the button label that invoked the callback is a row label, then this
value is set to True. If it was a column label then it is set to False.
label The label on the button that was pressed.
When the XbaeMatrix receives a ButtonRelease event on the same button label that it
received a ButtonPress event, the XmNlabelActivateCallback is called to allow the
programmer to respond to the event. The callback has been provided to emulate some
popular spreadsheets on the market.
XmNleaveCellCallback
Callbacks on the XmNleaveCellCallback list are called from the EditCell() and
CommitEdit() actions just before the edit to the current cell is committed. The
application can validate the changes made to the cell, and allow or disallow them. A
pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback on the
XmNleaveCellCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row, column;
String value;
Boolean doit;
} XbaeMatrixLeaveCellCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeLeaveCellReason.
event The event that invoked this callback.
row The row number of the cell being edited.
column The column number of the cell being edited.
value Contains the new data which will be stored in this cell if doit is True.
The memory pointed to by value may be modified, or if the new contents are
larger than the current contents, then value should be set to point to a
larger piece of allocated memory.
doit Indicates whether the edits applied to this cell should actually be stored
into XbaeMatrix. Setting doit to False will cause the changes to be
discarded and the cell will retain its original value. The default value is
True.
If the application determines that the value entered in the cell at (row, column) is
not valid, it should set the doit flag to False. This will prevent the changes from
being stored in the cell. The TextField edit widget will remain on the current cell.
If the application leaves doit as True, then the changes made to the cell will be
committed and the TextField will move to the next cell or be unmapped. The
application can also modify the String in value, e.g. to force a String to be all
upper case.
XmNmodifyVerifyCallback
Callbacks on the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list are called while a cell is being
edited. The callbacks are called before text is inserted into or deleted from the
TextField edit widget. A pointer to the following structure is passed to each
callback on the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
XmTextVerifyCallbackStruct *verify;
const char *prev_text;
} XbaeMatrixModifyVerifyCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeModifyVerifyReason.
event Always set to NULL.
row The row number of the cell being edited.
column The column number of the cell being edited.
verify The contents of this structure and its use are documented in the XmText(3X)
man page.
prev_text The contents of the cell as seen by this user before the new text. If
other text has already been entered, this value will not match the official
XbaeMatrix value of the cell. This pointer and the string should not be
modified.
XmNprocessDragCallback
Callbacks on the XmNprocessDragCallback list are called from the ProcessDrag()
action. The application can bind the ProcessDrag() action to any pointer based event,
though by default it is bound to the Button2Down event. When this event occurs,
ProcessDrag() will call the callbacks on the XmNprocessDragCallback list. A pointer
to the following structure is passed to each callback on the XmNprocessDragCallback
list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
String string;
XbaeCellType type;
Pixmap pixmap;
Pixmap mask;
Cardinal num_params;
String *params;
} XbaeMatrixProcessDragCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeProcessDragReason.
event The XEvent which invoked the ProcessDrag() action.
row The row number of the cell where the drag was initiated..
column The column number of the cell where the drag was initiated..
string The string in the cell where the drag was initiated if type is XbaeString
or XbaeStringFree. This is provided as a convenience to the application.
type The type of the cell in which the drag was initiated.
pixmap The pixmap in the cell where the drag was initiated if type is XbaePixmap.
This is provided as a convenience to the application.
mask A mask for the pixmap as obtained from the XPM library. mask is only
necessary when pixmap has a depth greater than one. Also provided as a
convenience to the application.
num_params
The number of String parameters passed to the ProcessDrag() action.
params An array containing the num_params String parameters passed to the
ProcessDrag() action.
The application can use the XmNprocessDragCallback list to implement particular
processing for Motif's drag-and-drop.
XmNresizeCallback
Callbacks on the XmNresizeCallback list are called when the XbaeMatrix widget is
resized. A pointer to the following structure is passed to
each callback on the XmNresizeCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
Dimension width;
Dimension height;
} XbaeMatrixResizeCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeResizeReason.
event Always set to NULL
row Set to the number of rows in the matrix (provided for convenience).
column Set to the number of colums in the matrix (provided for convenience).
width The new width of the XbaeMatrix widget.
height The new height of the XbaeMatrix widget.
The application can use the XmNresizeCallback to adjust such resources as
XmNcolumnWidths, XmNvisibleColumns and XmNvisibleRows when the widget containing an
XbaeMatrix widget is resized.
XmNresizeColumnCallback
Callbacks on the XmNresizeColumnCallback list are called when a column of the
XbaeMatrix widget is dynamically resized by the user. A pointer to the following
structure is passed to each callback on the XmNresizeColumnCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
int which;
int columns;
short *column_widths;
} XbaeMatrixResizeColumnCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeResizeColumnReason.
event The XEvent that ended the resize. The event will be of type
XButtonReleasedEvent.
row The row in which the ResizeColumn() action began.
column The column in which the ResizeColumn() action began (and ended).
which The column that was resized in the ResizeColumn() action.
columns The number of columns in the XbaeMatrix widget.
column_widths
The widths of each column as they stand after the ResizeColumn() action.
The application can use the XmNresizeColumnCallback to perform post processing after
a column has been resized. By adjusting the values contained in column_widths the
XbaeMatrix widget will use the values upon return from the callback. Changing the
number of columns in the matrix in the XmNresizeColumnCallback should be used
carefully as it may cause unexpected results.
XmNselectCellCallback
Callbacks on the XmNselectCellCallback list are called from the SelectCell() action.
The application can bind the SelectCell() action to any pointer based event. When
this event occurs, SelectCell() will call the callbacks on the XmNselectCellCallback
list. A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback on the
XmNselectCellCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
Boolean **selected_cells;
String **cells;
Cardinal num_params;
String *params;
} XbaeMatrixSelectCellCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeSelectCellReason.
event The XEvent which invoked the SelectCell() action.
row The row number of the cell which was selected.
column The column number of the cell which was selected.
selected_cells
The value of the XmNselectedCells resource. This is provided as a
convenience to the application and will be NULL if no cells have yet been
selected.
cells The value of the XmNcells resource. This is provided as a convenience to
the application and will be NULL if no cells have been specified or the
XmNdrawCellCallback is being used.
num_params
The number of String parameters passed to the SelectCell() action.
params An array containing the num_params String parameters passed to the
SelectCell() action.
The application can use the XmNselectCellCallback list to implement it's own
selection model. The XbaeMatrixSelectCellCallbackStruct contains the array of String
parameters passed to the SelectCell() action which invoked this callback. By binding
the SelectCell() action to various events via the translation manager, and using
String action parameters to distinguish them, the application can implement various
selection models. For example, the following translations could be used to implement
a model in which a modifier key indicates whether a single cell or an entire row
should be selected. The callbacks on the XmNselectCellCallback list would examine the
parameter and take the appropriate action.
#override\n\
Shift<Btn1Down>: SelectCell(cell)\n\
Ctrl<Btn1Down>: SelectCell(row)
The callbacks on the XmNselectCellCallback list can also be used in other ways, e.g.
to pop up a cell specific menu.
NOTE: If no cells have been selected, the value of selected_cells will be NULL. The
same applies for cells. Care must be taken so as not to dereference these members of
the callback struct.
XmNtrackCellCallback
Callbacks on the XmNtrackCellCallback list are being called by the HandleTracking()
action, which is triggered by pointer motion. One of the purposes of this callback
list is to figure out from which cell to which cell the pointer is being moved. A
pointer to the XbaeMatrixTrackCellCallbackStruct structure is being passed. Its
fields are defined as :
typedef struct _XbaeMatrixTrackCellCallbackStruct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row, column;
int prev_row, prev_column;
Position pointer_x, pointer_y;
} XbaeMatrixTrackCellCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeSelectCellReason.
event The XEvent which invoked the HandleTracking() action.
row This is the row number that the pointer is currently in.
column This is the column number that the pointer is currently in.
prev_row The row that the pointer was previously in.
prev_column
The column that the pointer was previously in.
pointer_x The x position of the pointer.
pointer_y The y position of the pointer.
XmNtraverseCellCallback
Callbacks on the XmNtraverseCellCallback list are called from the EditCell() action
and when XbaeMatrix receives or looses focus. The application can customize cell
traversal using these callbacks. XbaeMatrix has a default traversal order, outlined
below, which the application can override. A pointer to the following structure is
passed to each callback on the XmNtraverseCellCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
int next_row;
int next_column;
int fixed_rows;
int fixed_columns;
int trailing_fixed_rows;
int trailing_fixed_columns;
int num_rows;
int num_columns;
String param;
XrmQuark qparam;
} XbaeMatrixTraverseCellCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeTraverseCellReason.
event The event that invoked this callback.
row The row number of the cell currently being edited.
column The column number of the cell currently being edited.
next_row The row number of the next cell to be edited, this can be changed by the
application.
next_column
The column number of the next cell to be edited, this can be changed by the
application.
fixed_rows
The value of the XmNfixedRows resource. This is provided as a convenience
for the application in calculating the next_row and next_column fields.
fixed_columns
The value of the XmNfixedColumns resource. This is provided as a
convenience for the application in calculating the next_row and next_column
fields.
trailing_fixed_rows
The value of the XmNtrailingFixedRows resource. This is provided as a
convenience for the application in calculating the next_row and next_column
fields.
trailing_fixed_columns
The value of the XmNtrailingFixedColumns resource. This is provided as a
convenience for the application in calculating the next_row and next_column
fields.
num_rows The value of the XmNrows resource. This is provided as a convenience for
the application in calculating the next_row and next_column fields.
num_columns
The value of the XmNcolumns resource. This is provided as a convenience for
the application in calculating the next_row and next_column fields.
param The String value of the parameter passed to the EditCell() action.
qparam The XrmQuark value of the parameter passed to the EditCell() action.
The EditCell() action takes an arbitrary parameter which it passes through to the
callbacks on the XmNtraverseCellCallback list in both String and XrmQuark forms. The
EditCell() action recognizes five special parameters which it uses to implement it's
default cell traversal. These parameters and their corresponding traversal results
are:
Pointer Set next_row and next_column to the cell underneath the mouse pointer.
Left If we are currently editing cell (XmNfixedRows, XmNfixedColumns), then do
not move. Otherwise move one column to the left, if that column is less
than XmNfixedColumns , then move up to the last column of the row above.
Right If we are currently editing cell (XmNrows - 1, XmNcolumns - 1), then do not
move. Otherwise move one column to the right, if that column is greater
than or equal to XmNcolumns , then move down to column XmNfixedColumns of
the row below.
Up Move up one row. If that row is less than XmNfixedRows , then move to the
last row.
Down Move down one row. If that row is greater than or equal to XmNrows , then
move to row XmNfixedRows.
If the EditCell() action recognizes one of these special parameters, it calculates
the new cell to be edited accordingly and stores the results in the next_row and
next_column fields of the XbaeMatrixTraverseCellCallbackStruct. If EditCell() does
not recognize it's parameter, it sets next_row and next_column to the current row and
column. It also stores a String and XrmQuark version of it's parameter in the param
and qparam fields. EditCell() then calls the callbacks on the
XmNtraverseCellCallback list. These callbacks can examine the parameter and
recalculate the next_row and next_column fields appropriately. The application can
override the default calculation for the special parameters, or it can define an
entirely new parameter with a corresponding new calculation. It would do this by
binding EditCell() with a new application specific parameter to an event in a
translation table. It is expected that application callbacks will use the XrmQuark
version of the parameter for efficiency reasons (by statically creating the new
XrmQuarks and comparing them against the incoming qparam).
When XbaeMatrix receives the focus it will also call the XmNtraverseCellCallback
callbacks before returning to the current cell or the upper left most visible cell if
no cell is currently edited. The XbaeMatrixTraverseCellCallbackStruct will have param
and qparm set to Focus. If there is no current cell row and column will be set to
-1.
When XbaeMatrix looses the focus it will also call the XmNtraverseCellCallback with
param and qparm set to LoosingFocus.
XmNvalueChangedCallback
Callbacks on the XmNvalueChangedCallback list are called while a cell is being
edited. The callbacks are called after text is inserted into or deleted from the
TextField edit widget. A pointer to the following structure is passed to each
callback on the XmNvalueChangedCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
} XbaeMatrixValueChangedCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeValueChangedReason.
event The event that triggered this callback.
row The row number of the cell being edited.
column The column number of the cell being edited.
XmNwriteCellCallback
Callbacks (although it probably only makes sense to have one) on the
XmNwriteCellCallback list are called when the widget needs to write data to a cell,
but only when XmNdrawCellCallback is defined. A pointer to the following structure is
passed to each callback on the XmNwriteCellCallback list:
typedef struct
{
XbaeReasonType reason;
XEvent *event;
int row;
int column;
XbaeCellType type;
String string;
Pixmap pixmap;
Pixmap mask;
} XbaeMatrixWriteCellCallbackStruct;
reason Set to XbaeWriteCellReason.
event Always set to NULL
row The row number of the cell that needs to be written.
column The column number of the cell that needs to be written.
type The type of ``data'' contained in the cell, either XbaeString or
XbaePixmap.
string The string to store if type is set to XbaeString.
pixmap The pixmap to store if type is set to XbaePixmap. (maybe a little
meaningless unless you can edit a pixmap in a cell)
mask A mask for the pixmap as obtained from the XPM library. mask is only
necessary when pixmap has a depth greater than one.
If the application adds this callback, when the XbaeMatrix is editable and has been
assigned an XmNdrawCellCallback, data on the widget can be edited and stored back in
the application's data structure. Only if an XmNdrawCellCallback has been assigned
to the XbaeMatrix widget, will the XmNwriteCellCallback be called.
At the moment, pixmap and mask will be sent to the XmNwriteCellCallback as NULL.
Translations
XbaeMatrix inherits translations from XmManager. In addition, XbaeMatrix uses the
following translation:
:<Btn1Up>: DefaultAction()\n\
:<Btn1Down>: DefaultAction() EditCell(Pointer)\n\
:Shift<Btn2Down>: ResizeColumns()\n\
:<Btn2Down>: ProcessDrag()\n\
:<Btn1Motion>: HandleMotion() HandleTracking()()\n\
:<Motion>: HandleTracking()()\n\
:<Btn4Down>: ScrollRows(-50)()\n<Btn5Down>:
XbaeMatrix installs the following default XmNtextTranslations on the TextField edit
widget:
#override\n\
Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta ~Alt <Key>Tab: EditCell(Left)\n\
~Ctrl ~Meta ~Alt <Key>Tab: EditCell(Right)\n\
<Key>osfUp: EditCell(Up)\n\
<Key>osfDown: EditCell(Down)\n\
<Key>osfActivate: CommitEdit(False)\n\
~Shift ~Meta ~Alt <Key>Return: CommitEdit(False)\n\
<Key>osfCancel: CommitEdit(False)\n\
Shift Ctrl ~Meta ~Alt <Key>Tab: TraversePrev()\n\
Ctrl ~Meta ~Alt <Key>Tab: TraverseNext()\n\
<Key>osfPageDown: PageDown()\n\
<Key>osfPageUp: PageUp()\n
Action Routines
CancelEdit()
If the single parameter to CancelEdit() is the String True, then it unmaps the edit
TextField, discarding any changes which were made to the cell being edited. If the
parameter is False, then CancelEdit() restores the edit TextField to the original
contents of the cell, discarding any changes made to the cell being edited. The
TextField is not unmapped.
CommitEdit()
CommitEdit() first calls any callbacks on the XmNleaveCellCallback list to
determine if the changes made to the current cell are valid. If they are, it then
saves any changes made to the cell into the cell. If the callbacks on the
XmNleaveCellCallback list return that the changes are not valid, CommitEdit() does
nothing.
If the changes are valid, CommitEdit() examines it's one parameter, which must be
the string True or False. If the parameter is True, then the edit TextField is
unmapped. If it is False, then the TextField is not unmapped.
DefaultAction()
DefaultAction() sets up a mechanism for determining whether two successive mouse
clicks form a double click. The DefaultAction() should normally be used in
conjunction with other pointer based events and provides a mechanism for acting on
double clicks in a cell.
EditCell()
EditCell() edits a new cell. EditCell() first calculates the new cell to edit based
on it's single parameter. It then calls the callbacks on the
XmNtraverseCellCallback list to allow them to specify a different cell to edit (see
the discussion of XmNtraverseCellCallback above). EditCell() then calls the
callbacks on the XmNleaveCellCallback list to determine if the changes made to the
current cell are valid. If they are, it then saves any changes made to the cell
into the cell. If the changes are not valid, EditCell() does nothing further.
If the changes are valid, EditCell() attempts to scroll the new cell to be edited
so that it is fully visible. If the new cell is in a fixed row or column,
EditCell() returns and does nothing further (these cells are not editable).
Otherwise, EditCell() calls the callbacks on the XmNenterCellCallback list to
determine if the new cell is editable. It then moves the XmText edit widget to the
new cell, setting it's editability based on the return from the
XmNenterCellCallback callbacks.
ProcessDrag()
ProcessDrag() calls the callbacks on the XmNprocessDragCallback list, passing them
a pointer to a XbaeMatrixProcessDragCallbackStruct.
ResizeColumns()
Allows the user to dynamically resize the column widths, provided that
XmNallowColumnResize is True.
ScrollRows()
ScrollRows() makes the rows of the matrix scroll by the pixel amount specified by
it's argument.
ScrollColumns()
ScrollColumns() makes the columns of the matrix scroll by the pixel amount
specified by it's argument.
SelectCell()
SelectCell() calls the callbacks on the XmNselectCellCallback list, passing them a
pointer to a XbaeMatrixSelectCellCallbackStruct. This structure will contain the
String parameters passed to the SelectCell() action, among other things (see the
discussion of XmNselectCellCallback above).
TraverseNext()
TraverseNext() will traverse out of the Matrix and into the next tab group.
TraversePrev()
TraversePrev() will traverse out of the Matrix and into the previous tab group.
PageDown()
PageDown() causes the Matrix to scroll down a full page. The text widget is placed
on the first non fixed row of the new page.
PageUp()
PageUp() causes the Matrix to scroll up a full page. The text widget is placed on
the first non fixed row of the new page.
Type Converters
In addition to the standard type converters registered by Xt and Motif, XbaeMatrix
registers the following additional type converters:
CvtStringToStringArray()
Converts a comma separated list of Strings to an array of String pointers, one for
each substring. Commas in the list may be escaped with the character `\'. This
converter allows the XmNrowLabels and XmNcolumnLabels resources to be specified in
resource files.
CvtStringToWidthArray()
Converts a comma separated list of numeric Strings to an array of short integers.
This converter allows the XmNcolumnWidths resource to be specified in resource
files.
CvtStringToMaxLengthArray()
Converts a comma separated list of numeric Strings to an array of integers. This
converter allows the XmNcolumnMaxLengths resource to be specified in resource
files.
CvtStringToAlignmentArray()
Converts a comma separated list of alignments to an array of unsigned chars. This
converter allows the XmNcolumnLabelAlignments and XmNcolumnAlignments resources to
be specified in resource files.
CvtStringToGridType()
Converts a single string as discussed in XmNgridType to a grid type value. This
converter allows XmNgridType to be specified in resource files.
CvtStringToMatrixScrollBarDisplayPolicy()
Converts a single string as discussed in XmNhorizontalScrollBarDisplayPolicy and
XmNverticalScrollBarDisplayPolicy to a display policy value. This converter allows
XmNhorizontalScrollBarDisplayPolicy and XmNverticalScrollBarDisplayPolicy to be
specified in resource files.
CvtStringToCellTable()
Converts a comma separated list of Strings with \n delimited rows to a two
dimensional array of String pointers. This converter allows the XmNcells resource
to be specified in resource files.
CvtStringToPixelTable()
Converts a comma separated list of color names with \n delimited rows to a two
dimensional array of Pixel values. This converter allows the
XmNcellBackgroundsandXmNcolors resources to be specified in resource files.
CvtStringToBooleanArray()
Converts a comma separated list of string or numeric values to an array of
Booleans. The converter recongnises a comma separated list of values. Each value
is parsed such that if the first character is This converter allows the
XmNcolumnButtonLabels and XmNrowButtonLabels resources to be specified in resource
files.

columns. Most of the arguments to XbaeMatrixAddColumns() may be specified as NULL.
Default values will be used by the widget.
If the programmer attempts to add columns using XbaeMatrixAddColumns() when there
are no rows, it will result in a warning message. There must be at least one row
in the XbaeMatrix widget to add columns.
To maintain backward compatibility, the cell backgrounds cannot be set in a call to
XbaeMatrixAddColumns() and must be set (if so desired) in a separate call to
XtVaSetValues().

allows the application developer to programmatically force a specific cell to be
edited. This function will first attempt to commit the edit in the current cell. If
the XmNleaveCellCallback callbacks disallow this commit, then XbaeMatrixEditCell()
will return. Otherwise the specified cell is scrolled until it is visible. If the
specified cell is in a fixed row or column, it cannot be edited and
XbaeMatrixEditCell() will return. Next, the callbacks on the XmNenterCellCallback
callback list are called for the specified cell to determine it's editability. Then
the TextField edit widget is mapped on top of the specified cell.

XbaeMatrixRefresh()
void XbaeMatrixRefresh()
Widget w;
w An XbaeMatrix widget.
XbaeMatrixRefresh() allows the application developer to force the widget to redraw
itself. This might be used when the programmer knows the widget's values have
changed, but the widget has not detected the change. For example, the quickest way
to swap the values of 2 rows would be to do an XtGetValues on XmNcells, swap the
values of the 2 rows, and then do an XtSetValues on XmNcells with the same
StringTable variable. Because of the way the Intrinsics work, the widget will not
see this change and will display the old values until a redraw is preformed because
of a resize or scroll event (assuming no other change in the XtSetValues caused a
redraw). Calling XbaeMatrixRefresh() will cause the correct values to be drawn and
overcome this limitation in the Intrinsics. While this function should rarely be
needed, it is provided ``just in case''.

compile-time version.
The numeric representation is a simple calculation based on the major, minor, and
pico numbers representing an Xbae widget release. E.g. version 4.8.1 would be
represented as 40801.
Releases prior to 4.8.0 didn't have this functionality.
XbaeGetVersionText()

time version of the Xbae widgets, where XbaeVersionTxt is a macro that represents
the compile-time version.
Additional Behavior
Using XtSetValues to set the Matrix's XmNwidth resource to 0 will cause it to recompute
it's horizontal size. It will request a new size which results in XmNvisibleColumns
columns being displayed. If XmNvisibleColumns is 0, then it will request a new size such
that it does not need a horizontal ScrollBar (full horizontal size).
Using XtSetValues to set the Matrix's XmNheight resource to 0 will cause it to recompute
it's vertical size. It will request a new size which results in XmNvisibleRows rows being
displayed. If XmNvisibleRows is 0, then it will request a new size such that it does not
need a vertical ScrollBar (full vertical size).
An XtSetValues on XmNvisibleRows will cause the Matrix to request a new size which results
in XmNvisibleRows non-fixed rows being displayed, only if the new value is different than
the old one.
An XtSetValues on XmNvisibleColumns will cause the Matrix to request a new size which
results in the first XmNvisibleColumns non-fixed columns being displayed, only if the new
value is different than the old one.
An XtSetValues on any other resource will not result in a request for a new size. Setting
other resources in conjunction with setting XmNwidth and/or XmNheight to 0 allows for more
control of the Matrix's geometry.
An XtSetValues setting XmNrowLabelWidth to 0 will cause XmNrowLabelWidth to be set to the
width of the longest row label.
