XmProcessTraversal -- A function that determines which component receives keyboard events when a widget has the focus
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME XmProcessTraversal -- A function that determines which component receives keyboard events when a widget has the focus SYNOPSIS #include <Xm/Xm.h> Boolean XmProcessTraversal (widget, direction) Widget widget; XmTraversalDirectiondirection; VERSION This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library. DESCRIPTION XmProcessTraversal determines which component of a hierarchy receives key- board events when the hierarchy that contains the given widget has keyboard focus. Using XmProcessTraversal to traverse to MenuBars, Pulldown Menu- Panes, or Popup MenuPanes is not supported. widget Specifies the widget ID of the widget whose hierarchy is to be traversed. The hierarchy is only traversed up to the top of the shell. If that shell does not currently have the focus, any changes to the element with focus within that shell will not occur until the next time the shell recieves focus. direction Specifies the direction of traversal The direction parameter can have the following values, which cause the rou- tine to take the corresponding actions: * XmTRAVERSE_CURRENT-Finds the hierarchy and the tab group that contain widget. If this tab group is not the active tab group, makes it the active tab group. If widget is an item in the active tab group, makes it the active item. If widget is the active tab group, makes the first traversable item in the tab group the active item. * XmTRAVERSE_DOWN-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab group and makes the item below it the active item. If there is no item below, wraps. * XmTRAVERSE_HOME-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab group and makes the first traversable item in the tab group the active item. * XmTRAVERSE_LEFT-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab group and makes the item to the left the active item. If there is no item to the left, wraps. * XmTRAVERSE_NEXT-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab group and makes the next item in child order the active item. * XmTRAVERSE_NEXT_TAB_GROUP-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active tab group (if any) and makes the next tab group the active tab group in the hierarchy. * XmTRAVERSE_PREV-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab group and makes the previous item in child order the active item. * XmTRAVERSE_PREV_TAB_GROUP-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active tab group (if any) and makes the previous tab group the active tab group in the hierarchy. * XmTRAVERSE_RIGHT-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the active item in the active tab group and makes the item to the right the active item. If there is no item to the right, wraps. * XmTRAVERSE_UP-Finds the hierarchy that contains widget. Finds the ac- tive item in the active tab group and makes the item above it the ac- tive item. If there is no item above, wraps. CAUTIONS * XmProcessTraversal will not allow traversal to a widget in a different shell. * XmProcessTraversal will only allow traversal to widgets that are cur- rently mapped. * You cannot call XmProcessTraversal from inside a focusCallback routine (or you will get a segmentation fault). RETURN VALUE Returns True if the setting succeeded. Returns False if the keyboard focus policy is not XmEXPLICIT, if there are no traversable items, or if the call to the routine has invalid parameters.
