SgFinder(3X)

SgFinder --The Finder widget class

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     SgFinder --The Finder widget class

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Sgm/Finder.h>


VERSION
     This page documents the version of Sgm that accompanies Motif 1.2.

DESCRIPTION
     The  Finder  widget  is designed to integrate a drop pocket, a textField, a
     zoomBar, and a history menu.  The zoomBar is a set  of  buttons  above  the
     text  field  which allows sections of the text to be selected.  The history
     menu allows users to select items previously visited,  or  to  undo  opera-
     tions.  The Finder widget should be used for accelerating text selection of
     long objects such as file names.

     Pressing  on  the history button brings up a pulldown menu of choices.  Se-
     lecting an item in the menu will set the text field to that item.  Whenever
     the text field is set, the zoomBar changes to reflect the text sections  in
     the text field.

     Pressing  a button on the zoomBar will set the text field to the portion of
     the text preceding that button.  The specific behavior is customizable, but
     generally will cut-off the portion of the text after  the  pressed  zoomBar
     button.   The  history  menu  can always be used to go back to the original
     text.

     The Finder also includes a DropPocket for displaying icons representing en-
     tries in the Finder's text field.  These icons are sgi  file  icons.   File
     icons  from  fm,  searchbook  or similar applications can be dropped on the
     DropPocket.

     The Finder widget includes resources that allow  initializing  the  history
     list,  setting  the  pixmap  on  the history button, and providing a custom
     function for handling setting of the text after  a  zoomBar  button  press.
     Other  resources are described below. It is customizable for various appli-
     cations.

   Classes
     Finder inherits behavior and resources from Core, Composite, Constraint and
     XmManager.

     The class pointer is sgFinderWidgetClass.

     The class name is SgFinder.

   New Resources
     The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the  program-
     mer  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 SgN or SgC
     prefix and use the remaining letters.  To specify one of the defined values
     for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the SgN prefix and use the  re-
     maining  letters  (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any under-
     scores 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).

XmNvalueChangedCallback   XmCCallback             XtCallbackList   NULL                   C


     XmNactivateCallback
               This callback is called when a zoomBar button is pushed  or  when
               the  text  field  generates an activateCallback (i.e. a return in
               the text field) or if the  text  field  is  set  by  SgFinderSet-
               TextString.  The type of the structure whose address is passed to
               this  callback  is  XmAnyCallbackStruct.   The reason sent by the
               callback is XmCR_ACTIVATE.

     SgNhistoryPixmap
               The pixmap that is displayed on the history button.

     SgNseparator
               The character that is used to separate sections of text.  The de-
               fault is '/'.  This character determines where the buttons on the
               zoomBar are.  The sections of text each generate one button,  and
               are defined by the SgNseparator at the end of each section.

     SgNsetTextSectionFunc
               This  resource is used to replace the default behavior of zoomBar
               button pushes with a user-defined function.  The typedef for  the
               function  is  in  <Sg/Finder.h>.  The function should have return
               type void and take an SgFinderWidget and  and  int  as  arguments
               which are passed to it when it is called.  The SgNsetTextSection-
               Func  function is called whenever a zoomBar button is pushed.  It
               is suggested that SgFinderSetTextString be used  in  the  SgNset-
               TextSectionFunc  to  set the value of the text field after a push
               occurs.

     SgNuseDropPocket
               Determines whether to create a SgDropPocketWidget  child  of  the
               Finder.   If  SgNuseDropPocket  is True (the default), the widget
               appears to the left of the text field.  If it is set to false  at
               creation  time,  no drop pocket is created, and the functionality
               associated with the drop pocket is  unavailable.   This  resource
               can  be  used to bypass the costs of setting up drag and drop and
               loading the fileicon libraries.

     SgNuseHistoryMenu
               If SgNuseHistoryMenu is True (the default), the widget appears to
               the right of the text field.  If it is set to false  at  creation
               time,  no  SgDynaMenu widget is created and there will be no his-
               tory mechanism for the finder.  The associated functions  to  ma-
               nipulate  the  history menu, SgFinderAddHistoryItem and SgFinder-
               ClearHistory will not  do  anything,  but  can  still  be  called
               safely.

     XmNvalueChangedCallback
               The  value  changed callback specifies the list of callbacks that
               is called after text is deleted from or inserted  into  the  text
               field.  The type of the structure whose address is passed to this
               callback is XmAnyCallbackStruct.  The reason sent by the callback
               is XmCR_VALUE_CHANGED.
