NAME
     XmMainWindow -- The MainWindow widget class

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/MainW.h>

DESCRIPTION
     MainWindow provides a standard layout for the primary window of an applica-
     tion.  This  layout  includes  a MenuBar, a CommandWindow, a work region, a
     MessageWindow, and ScrollBars. Any or all of these areas are optional.  The
     work region and ScrollBars in the MainWindow behave identically to the work
     region  and  ScrollBars in the ScrolledWindow widget. The user can think of
     the MainWindow as an extended ScrolledWindow with an optional  MenuBar  and
     optional CommandWindow and MessageWindow.

     In a fully loaded MainWindow, the MenuBar spans the top of the window hori-
     zontally.	The  CommandWindow  spans the MainWindow horizontally just below
     the MenuBar, and the work region lies below the  CommandWindow.   The  Mes-
     sageWindow  is  below  the work region.  Any space remaining below the Mes-
     sageWindow is managed in a manner identical to ScrolledWindow.  The  behav-
     ior  of  ScrolledWindow  can be controlled by the ScrolledWindow resources.
     To create a MainWindow, first create the work region elements, a MenuBar, a
     CommandWindow, a MessageWindow, a	horizontal  ScrollBar,	and  a	vertical
     ScrollBar widget, and then call XmMainWindowSetAreas with those widget IDs.

     MainWindow  can  also  create three Separator widgets that provide a visual
     separation of MainWindow's four components.  The user can specify resources
     in a resource file for the automatically created gadgets that  contain  the
     MainWindow  separators.  The  name of the first separator gadget is Separa-
     tor1; the second is Separator2; and the third is Separator3.

     MainWindow also provides the following three child types for layout at cre-
     ation time:

	*  XmMENU_BAR

	*  XmCOMMAND_WINDOW

	*  XmMESSAGE_WINDOW

     MainWindow can use these child types at creation time instead of their  as-
     sociated resource values.	MainWindow uses the XmQTmenuSystem trait.

   Descendants
     MainWindow automatically creates the descendants shown in the following ta-
     ble.  An application can use XtNameToWidget to gain access to the named de-
     scendant.	In  addition, a user or an application can use the named descen-
     dant when specifying resource values.
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     | Named Descendant | Class 	    | Identity			|
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     | HorScrollBar	| XmScrollBar	    | horizontal scroll bar	|
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     | Separator1	| XmSeparatorGadget | optional first separator	|
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     | Separator2	| XmSeparatorGadget | optional second separator |
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     | Separator3	| XmSeparatorGadget | optional third separator	|
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     | VertScrollBar	| XmScrollBar	    | vertical scroll bar	|
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+
     +------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+

   Classes
     MainWindow inherits behavior  and	resources  from  Core,	Composite,  Con-
     straint, XmManager, and XmScrolledWindow.

     The class pointer is xmMainWindowWidgetClass.

     The class name is XmMainWindow.

   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 re-
     source by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC pre-
     fix 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 be-
     tween words).  The codes in the access column indicate  if  the  given  re-
     source  can  be set at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), re-
     trieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

     XmNcommandWindow
	       Specifies the widget to be laid out as  the  CommandWindow.  This
	       widget  must  have been previously created and managed as a child
	       of MainWindow.

     XmNcommandWindowLocation
	       Controls   the	position   of	the   command	window.   XmCOM-
	       MAND_ABOVE_WORKSPACE  locates the command window between the menu
	       bar and the work window.  XmCOMMAND_BELOW_WORKSPACE  locates  the
	       command window between the work window and the message window.

     XmNmainWindowMarginHeight
	       Specifies  the margin height on the top and bottom of MainWindow.
	       This resource overrides any setting  of	the  ScrolledWindow  re-
	       source XmNscrolledWindowMarginHeight.

     XmNmainWindowMarginWidth
	       Specifies  the  margin width on the right and left sides of Main-
	       Window. This resource overrides any setting of the ScrolledWindow
	       resource XmNscrolledWindowMarginWidth.

     XmNmenuBarSpecifies the widget to be laid out as the MenuBar.  This  widget
	       must have been previously created and managed as a child of Main-
	       Window.

     XmNmessageWindow
	       Specifies  the  widget  to be laid out as the MessageWindow. This
	       widget must have been previously created and managed as	a  child
	       of  MainWindow.	The MessageWindow is positioned at the bottom of
	       the MainWindow.	If this value is NULL, no message window is  in-
	       cluded in the MainWindow.

     XmNshowSeparator
	       Displays separators between the components of the MainWindow when
	       set to True. If set to False, no separators are displayed.

   Inherited Resources
     MainWindow  inherits behavior and resources from the superclasses described
     in the following table.  For a complete description of each resource, refer
     to the reference page for that superclass.
