XmIconButton(3X)					      XmIconButton(3X)

NAME
       The Icon	Button widget

SYNOPSIS
       Documents the XmIconButton widget

DESCRIPTION
       The Icon	Button widget is a selectable area of the screen that contains
       both  a	label and a string. When the user selects this button with the
       OSF/Motif select	button its activateCallback is called. This widget can
       also be used as a Toggle	button,	although it will  have	no  indicator.
       The placement of	the icon relative to the text can be modified by using
       the iconPlacement resource.

       Note:  This  widget  takes  a  String as	its label, not an XmString, so
       there is	no need	to use XmStringCreate  to  get	a  properly  formatted
       string. Internationalized text is not currently supported.

       All  resource  names  begin with	XmN and	all resource class names begin
       with XmC.

activateCallback
       This list of callback routines is called	whenever the  icon  button  is
       clicked	on  by the user. The format of the callback routines is	speci-
       fied below.

armColor
       This is the pixel index that describes the color	 to  fill  the	widget
       with when it is set.

doubleClickCallback
       This  list  of  callback	 routines  is  called whenever the user	double
       clicks on this widget. The format of the	callback routines is specified
       below.

fontList
       The default font	in this	list is	used to	render the label string	of the
       icon button.

horizontalMargin
verticalMargin
       The amount of space to be left between the edge of the shadow  and  the
       text  or	 pixmap	 displayed. The	vertical and horizontal	spacing	can be
       controlled independently.

iconTextPadding
       The amount of space to be left between the pixmap and the label string.

iconPlacement
       The location of the pixmap (icon) with respect to the  displayed	 text.
       This  resource can take one of the following values: XmIconTop, XmIcon-
       Bottom, XmIconLeft, XmIconRight,	XmIconNone,  and  XmIconOnly.  A  type
       converter  has  been  registered	 that  converts	the following strings:
       "top", "bottom",	"left",	"right", "none", and "iconOnly".

       If only a string	is displayed in	the Icon Button, this resource can  be
       used  to	 change	the justification of the label.	XmIconTop=bottom, XmI-
       conBottom=top, XmIconRight=Left,	 XmIconLeft=Right,  XmIconNone=Center.
       In order	to use these options, pixmap must be set to None.

label
       The  string  to	display	 in this button. This string can only have one
       font, but can be	any number of lines long. Use the NEW_LINE character (
       '0 ) to separate	lines. This resource has  been	superceded  by	label-
       String,	but is included	for backwards compatibility. If	XmNlabelString
       is set ,	XmNlabel is ignored

labelString
       Specifies the compound string to	be displayed in	the  button.  If  this
       value  is NULL, the value of XmNlabel is	used. If both are NULL,	label-
       String is initialized by	converting the name of the widget  to  a  com-
       pound  string. Refer to XmString(3X) in the OSD/Motif Programmers' Ref-
       erence for more information on the creation and structure  of  compound
       strings.

pixmap
       The  pixmap  to display.	This pixmap may	either be of depth one (1), or
       the same	depth as the screen this widget	is being displayed on. If  the
       pixmap  is of depth one then XCopyPlane is used to render the pixmap in
       the foreground and background colors. If	the pixmap is not of depth one
       then XCopyArea is used and all the original colors of  the  pixmap  are
       preserved.  Unlike  the Motif PushButton	widget the pixmap is automati-
       cally stippled when the Icon Button becomes insensitive.

recomputeSize
       If this Boolean value is	True then the icon button will ask its	parent
       to  resize  it to be just large enough to contain the pixmap, label and
       shadows.	If it is False then the	icon button will not attempt a resize.

set
       This Boolean value represents the current state of the icon button.  If
       this  value  is True then the icon button is set	and is rendered	as de-
       pressed.	Otherwise it is	unset and is rendered normally.

stringDirection
       Specifies the direction in which	 the  string  is  to  be  drawn.  XmN-
       STRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R	is drawn left to right,	while XmNSTRING_DIREC-
       TION_R_TO_L is drawn right to left. The default for  this  resource  is
       determined at creation time. If no value	is specified for this resource
       and  the	 widget's parent is a manager, the value is inherited from the
       parent; otherwise, it defaults to XmNSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R.

Callback Routines
       Whenever	the user selects the icon button the activate  callbacks  will
       be  called.  When- ever the user	double clicks on this widget the first
       click will call the activateCallback, and if the	second	occurs	within
       MultiClickTime  it will call the	doubleClickCallback..  These callbacks
       have the	following parameters:

       void (activate_callback)(Widget	w,  XtPointer  client_data,  XtPointer
			   call_data)

       w	      the Icon Button widget

       client_data    the client data specified	by the application

       call_data      a	pointer	to an XmIconButtonCallbackInfo structure

       void (double_click_callback)(Widget w, XtPointer	client_data, XtPointer
			   call_data)

       w	      the Icon Button widget

       client_data    the client data specified	by the application

       call_data      a	pointer	to an XmIconButtonCallbackInfo structure

       All  procedures	on the Icon Button's activateCallback and doubleClick-
       Callback	lists will have	a pointer to an	IconButtonCallbackInfo	struc-
       ture  passed  to	them in	the call_data field. This structure is defined
       in the Icon Button widget's public header file as follows:

       typedef struct _XmIconButtonCallbackInfo	{

	    Boolean state;   /*	The current state of the icon button.*/

	    XEvent * event;  /*	The event that caused this action.*/

       } XmIconButtonCallbackInfo;

       state	      the current state	of the icon button. When this is  used
		      as  a  push button (the default) the state variable will
		      always be	True.

       event	      the X Event that caused this  action,  see  Translations
		      and  Actions  below  for	details	on the events that can
		      cause these callbacks to be called.

Convenience Routine

XmCreateIconButton - Widget creation convenience routine
       Widget XmCreateIconButton(
		      Widget parent,/* Widget id of parent for IconButton */
		      String name, /* Name of the created widget */
		      ArgList args,/* argument list */
		      Cardinal num_args/* number of items in argument list */
		      )

       Translations and	Actions:

       The following are the default translation bindings used by the icon button:

       <Btn1Down>,<Btn1Up>:   XmToggle() XmNotify()
       <Btn1Down>(2):	      XmDoubleNotify()
       <Btn1Down>:	      XmGetFocus() XmToggle()
       <Key>osfSelect:	      XmArmAndActivate()
       <Key>osfActivate:      XmArmAndActivate()
       None<Key>space:	      XmArmAndActivate()
       None<Key>Return:	      XmArmAndActivate()
       <Btn1Down>,<Leave>     XmToggle()

       The following actions are supported by the icon button:

       XmToggle()     Toggles the state	of the icon button.

       XmNotify()     Calls all	routines on activateCallback list.

       XmDoubleNotify()Calls all routines on the doubleClickCallback list.

       XmArmAndActivated()This action will arm the button, call	the actions on the activateCallback
		      list, wait a fraction of a second	and then disarm	the button.

       To use this button as a toggle button rather than a push	button,	replace	the default
       translation table with the following table.

       <Btn1Down>:	   XmToggle() XmNotify()
       <Btn1Up>(2):	   XmDoubleNotify()
       <Key>osfSelect:	   XmToggle() XmNotify()
       <Key>osfActivate:   XmToggle() XmNotify()
       None<Key>space:	   XmToggle() XmNotify()
       None<Key>Return:	   XmToggle() XmNotify()
