NAMEXmPushButtonGadget — The PushButtonGadget widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/PushBG.h>
DESCRIPTION
PushButtonGadget issues commands within an application. It consists of
a text label or pixmap surrounded by a border shadow. When PushButton‐
Gadget is selected, the shadow changes to give the appearance that the
PushButtonGadget has been pressed in. When PushButtonGadget is unse‐
lected, the shadow changes to give the appearance that the PushButton‐
Gadget is out.
The default behavior associated with a PushButtonGadget in a menu
depends on the type of menu system in which it resides. By default,
<Btn1> controls the behavior of the PushButtonGadget. In addition,
<Btn3> controls the behavior of the PushButtonGadget if it resides in a
PopupMenu system. The actual mouse button used is determined by its
RowColumn parent.
Thickness for a second shadow may be specified with the XmNshowAsDe‐
fault resource. If it has a nonzero value, the Label's XmNmarginLeft,
XmNmarginRight, XmNmarginTop, and XmNmarginBottom resources may be mod‐
ified to accommodate the second shadow.
If an initial value is specified for XmNarmPixmap but not for XmNla‐
belPixmap, the XmNarmPixmap value is used for XmNlabelPixmap.
PushButtonGadget uses the XmQTmenuSystem and XmQTspecifyRenderTable
traits, and holds the XmQactivatable, XmQTmenuSavvy, and XmQTtakesDe‐
fault traits.
Classes
PushButtonGadget inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Object,
RectObj, XmGadget and XmLabelGadget.
The class pointer is xmPushButtonGadgetClass.
The class name is XmPushButtonGadget.
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).

XmNactivateCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the Push‐
ButtonGadget is activated. It is activated when the user
presses and releases the active mouse button while the
pointer is inside the PushButtonGadget. Activating PushBut‐
tonGadget also disarms it. For this callback, the reason is
XmCR_ACTIVATE. This callback uses the XmQTactivatable trait.
XmNarmCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when PushBut‐
tonGadget is armed. It is armed when the user presses the
active mouse button while the pointer is inside the PushBut‐
tonGadget. For this callback, the reason is XmCR_ARM.
XmNarmColor
Specifies the color with which to fill the armed button.
XmNfillOnArm must be set to True for this resource to have an
effect. The 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, and any
text in the label appears in the background color when the
button is armed.
XmNarmPixmap
Specifies the pixmap to be used as the button face if XmNla‐
beltype is XmPIXMAP and PushButtonGadget is armed. This
resource is disabled when the PushButtonGadget is in a menu.
XmNdefaultButtonShadowThickness
This resource specifies the width of the default button indi‐
cator shadow. If this resource is 0 (zero), the width of the
shadow comes from the value of the XmNshowAsDefault resource.
If this resource is greater than zero, the XmNshowAsDefault
resource is only used to specify whether this button is the
default. The default value is the initial value of XmN‐
showAsDefault.
XmNdisarmCallback
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the Push‐
ButtonGadget is disarmed. PushButtonGadget is disarmed when
the user presses and releases the active mouse button while
the pointer is inside that gadget. For this callback, the
reason is XmCR_DISARM.
XmNfillOnArm
Forces the PushButtonGadget to fill the background of the
button with the color specified by XmNarmColor when the but‐
ton is armed and when this resource is set to True. If it is
False, only the top and bottom shadow colors are switched.
When the PushButtonGadget is in a menu, this resource is
ignored and assumed to be False.
XmNmultiClick
If a button click is followed by another button click within
the time span specified by the display's multiclick time, and
this resource is set to XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, the second
click is not processed. If this resource is set to XmMUL‐
TICLICK_KEEP, the event is processed and click_count is
incremented in the callback structure. When the button is in
a menu, the default is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD; otherwise, for a
button not in a menu, the default value is XmMULTICLICK_KEEP.
XmNshowAsDefault
If XmNdefaultButtonShadowThickness is greater than 0 (zero),
a value greater than zero in this resource specifies to mark
this button as the default button. If XmNdefaultButtonShad‐
owThickness is 0, a value greater than 0 in this resource
specifies to mark this button as the default button with the
shadow thickness specified by this resource. The space
between the shadow and the default shadow is equal to the sum
of both shadows. The default value is 0. When the Display
resource XmNdefaultButtonEmphasis has a value of XmEXTER‐
NAL_HIGHLIGHT (the default), PushButton draws the location
cursor outside of the outer shadow. When this resource has a
value of XmINTERNAL_HIGHLIGHT, the highlight is drawn between
the inner and outer shadows. When this value is not 0, the
Label XmNmarginLeft, XmNmarginRight, XmNmarginTop, and XmN‐
marginBottom resources may be modified to accommodate the
second shadow. This resource is disabled when the PushButton
is in a menu.
Inherited Resources
PushButtonGadget inherits behavior and resources from the superclasses
described in the following tables. For a complete description of each
resource, refer to the reference page for that superclass.

Callback Information
A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback:
typedef struct
{
int reason;
XEvent * event;
int click_count;
} XmPushButtonCallbackStruct;
reason Indicates why the callback was invoked.
event Points to the XEvent that triggered the callback.
click_count
Valid only when the reason is XmCR_ACTIVATE. It contains the
number of clicks in the last multiclick sequence if the XmN‐
multiClick resource is set to XmMULTICLICK_KEEP; otherwise it
contains 1. The activate callback is invoked for each click
if XmNmultiClick is set to XmMULTICLICK_KEEP.
Behavior
XmPushButtonGadget includes behavior from XmGadget. XmPushButtonGadget
includes menu traversal behavior from XmLabelGadget. Additional behav‐
ior for XmPushButtonGadget is described in the following list.
<Btn2Down>:
Drags the contents of a PushButtonGadget label, identified
when <Btn2> is pressed. This action is undefined for Push‐
ButtonGadgets used in a menu system.
<Btn1Down>:
This action arms the PushButtonGadget.
In a menu, this action unposts any menus posted by the Push‐
ButtonGadget's parent menu, disables keyboard traversal for
the menu, and enables mouse traversal for the menu. It draws
the shadow in the armed state. Unless the button is already
armed, it calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
If the button is not in a menu, this action draws the shadow
in the armed state. If XmNfillOnArm is set to True, it fills
the button with the color specified by XmNarmColor. If XmN‐
labelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNarmPixmap is used for the but‐
ton face. It calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
<Btn1>(2+):
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, this action does
nothing.
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, this action draws the
shadow in the armed state. If the button is not in a menu
and if XmNfillOnArm is set to True, it fills the button with
the color specified by XmNarmColor. If XmNlabelType is
XmPIXMAP, the XmNarmPixmap is used for the button face. This
action calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
<Btn1Up>: In a menu, this action unposts all menus in the menu hierar‐
chy and activates the PushButtonGadget. It calls the XmNac‐
tivateCallback callbacks and then the XmNdisarmCallback call‐
backs.
If the PushButtonGadget is not in a menu, this action draws
the shadow in the unarmed state. If XmNfillOnArm is set to
True, the background color reverts to the unarmed color. If
XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used for the
button face. If the pointer is still within the button, this
action calls the callbacks for XmNactivateCallback and
XmNdisarmCallback.
<Btn1Up>(2+):
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_DISCARD, this action does
nothing.
If XmNmultiClick is XmMULTICLICK_KEEP, this action increments
click_count in the callback structure and draws the shadow in
the unarmed state. If the button is not in a menu and if
XmNfillOnArm is set to True, the background color reverts to
the unarmed color. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, XmNla‐
belPixmap is used for the button face. If the pointer is
within the PushButtonGadget, this action calls the callbacks
for XmNactivateCallback and XmNdisarmCallback.
<Key><osfActivate>:
In a menu, this action unposts all menus in the menu hierar‐
chy, unless the button is already armed, and calls the XmN‐
armCallback callbacks, the XmNactivateCallback and the
XmNdisarmCallback callbacks. Outside a menu, KActivate has no
effect. For PushButtonGadgets outside of a menu, if the par‐
ent is a manager, this action passes the event to the parent.
<Key><osfSelect>:
In a menu, this action unposts all menus in the menu hierar‐
chy, unless the button is already armed, and calls the XmN‐
armCallback callbacks. This acton calls the XmNactivateCall‐
back and XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, this action draws the shadow in the armed
state and, if XmNfillOnArm is set to True, fills the button
with the color specified by XmNarmColor. If XmNlabelType is
XmPIXMAP, XmNarmPixmap is used for the button face. This
action calls the XmNarmCallback callbacks.
Outside a menu, this action also arranges for the following
to happen, either immediately or at a later time: the shadow
is drawn in the unarmed state and, if XmNfillOnArm is set to
True, the background color reverts to the unarmed color. If
XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNlabelPixmap is used for the
button face. The XmNactivateCallback and XmNdisarmCallback
callbacks are called.
<Key><osfHelp>:
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. This
action 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.
<Key><osfCancel>:
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
focus to the widget from which the menu was posted. For a
PushButtonGadget outside of a menu, if the parent is a
manger, this action passes the event to the parent.
<Enter>: 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 callbacks.
If the PushButtonGadget is not in a menu and the cursor
leaves and then reenters the PushButtonGadget while the but‐
ton is pressed, this action draws the shadow in the armed
state. If XmNfillOnArm is set to True, it also fills the
button with the color specified by XmNarmColor. If XmNlabel‐
Type is XmPIXMAP, the XmNarmPixmap is used for the button
face.
<Leave>: In a menu, if keyboard traversal is enabled, this action does
nothing. Otherwise, it draws the shadow in the unarmed state
and calls the XmNdisarmCallback callbacks.
If the PushButtonGadget is not in a menu and the cursor
leaves the PushButtonGadget while the button is pressed, this
action draws the shadow in the unarmed state. If XmNfillOn‐
Arm is set to True, the background color reverts to the
unarmed color. If XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP, the XmNla‐
belPixmap is used for the button face.
