NAME

       XmBulletinBoard   —  The  BulletinBoard  widget  class  "XmBulletinBoard"  "widget  class"
       "BulletinBoard"

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/BulletinB.h>

DESCRIPTION

       BulletinBoard is a composite widget that provides simple  geometry  management  for  child
       widgets.  It does not force positioning on its children, but can be set to reject geometry
       requests that result in overlapping children.  BulletinBoard is the base widget  for  most
       dialog widgets and is also used as a general container widget.

       Modal  and  modeless  dialogs  are  implemented  as  collections of widgets that include a
       DialogShell, a BulletinBoard  (or  subclass)  child  of  the  shell,  and  various  dialog
       components (buttons, labels, and so on) that are children of BulletinBoard.  BulletinBoard
       defines callbacks useful  for  dialogs  (focus,  map,  unmap),  which  are  available  for
       application  use.   If  its  parent is a DialogShell, BulletinBoard passes title and input
       mode (based on  dialog  style)  information  to  the  parent,  which  is  responsible  for
       appropriate communication with the window manager.

       The default value for XmNinitialFocus is the value of XmNdefaultButton.

       BulletinBoard  uses  the  XmQTtakesDefault  trait,  and holds the XmQTdialogShellSavvy and
       XmQTspecifyRenderTable traits.

   Classes
       BulletinBoard  inherits  behavior,  resources,  and  traits  from  the  Core,   Composite,
       Constraint, and XmManager classes.

       The class pointer is xmBulletinBoardWidgetClass.

       The class name is XmBulletinBoard.

   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).
