ARGUMENTS
child Specifies the child.
children Specifies a list of child widgets.
num_children
Specifies the number of children.
widget Specifies the widget.
manage_children
Specifies the list of widget children to add to the managed
set.
num_manage_children
Specifies the number of entries in the manage_children list.
unmanage_children
Specifies the list of widget children to remove from the
managed set.
num_unmanage_children
Specifies the number of entries in the unmanage_children
list.
do_change_proc
Specifies the post unmanage, pre manage hook procedure to
invoke.
client_data
Specifies the client data to be passed to the hook procedure.
DESCRIPTION
ignores the child if it already is managed or is being destroyed
and marks it if not.
o If the parent is realized and after all children have been marked,
it makes some of the newly managed children viewable:
- Calls the change_managed routine of the widgets' parent.
- Calls XtRealizeWidget on each previously unmanaged child that
is unrealized.
- Maps each previously unmanaged child that has
map_when_managed True.
Managing children is independent of the ordering of children and
independent of creating and deleting children. The layout routine of
the parent should consider children whose managed field is True and
should ignore all other children. Note that some composite widgets,
especially fixed boxes, call XtManageChild from their insert_child
procedure.
If the parent widget is realized, its change_managed procedure is
called to notify it that its set of managed children has changed. The
parent can reposition and resize any of its children. It moves each
child as needed by calling XtMoveWidget, which first updates the x and
y fields and then calls XMoveWindow if the widget is realized.
The XtManageChild function constructs a WidgetList of length one and
calls XtManageChildren.
The XtUnmanageChildren function performs the following:
o Issues an error if the children do not all have the same parent or
if the parent is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass.
o Returns immediately if the common parent is being destroyed;
otherwise, for each unique child on the list, XtUnmanageChildren
performs the following:
- Ignores the child if it already is unmanaged or is being
destroyed and marks it if not.
- If the child is realized, it makes it nonvisible by unmapping
it.
o Calls the change_managed routine of the widgets' parent after all
children have been marked if the parent is realized.
XtUnmanageChildren does not destroy the children widgets. Removing
widgets from a parent's managed set is often a temporary banishment,
and, some time later, you may manage the children again.
The XtUnmanageChild function constructs a widget list of length one and
calls XtUnmanageChildren.
The XtChangeManagedSet function performs the following:
o Issues an error if the widgets specified in the manage_children
and the unmanage_children lists to no all have the same parent, or
XtChangeManagedSet was invoked with a non-NULL do_change_proc
procedure then XtChangeManagedSet performs the following:
- Calls XtUnmanageChildren (unmanage_children,
num_unmanage_children).
- Calls the do_change_proc specified.
- Calls XtManageChildren (manage_children, num_manage_children)
and then returns immediately.
o Otherwise, if a CompositeClassExtension is defined with an
allows_change_managed_set field with a value of True, or if no
CompositeClassExtension is defined, and XtChangeManagedSet was
invoked with a NULL do_change_proc procedure, then the following
is performed:
- For each child on the unmanage_children list; if the child is
already unmanaged or is being destroyed it is ignored,
otherwise it is marked as being unmanaged and if it is
realized it is made nonvisible by being unmapped.
- If the do_change_proc procedure is non-NULL then it is
invoked as specified.
- For each child on the manage_children list; if the child is
already managed or it is being destroyed it is ignored,
otherwise it is marked as managed
o If the parent is realized and after all children have been marked,
the change_managed method of the parent is invoked and
subsequently some of the newly managed children are made viewable
by:
- Calling XtRealizeWidget on each of the previously unmanaged
child that is unrealized.
- Mapping each previously unmanaged child that has
map_when_managed True.
The XtIsManaged function returns True if the specified widget is of
class RectObj or any subclass thereof and is managed, or False
otherwise.
