XmSimpleSpinBox(3)	   Library Functions Manual	    XmSimpleSpinBox(3)

NAME
       XmSimpleSpinBox -- a simple SpinBox widget class

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<Xm/SSpinB.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The XmSimpleSpinBox widget is a user interface control to increment and
       decrement  an arbitrary TextField. For example, it can be used to cycle
       through the months of the year or days of the month.

       Widget subclassing is not  supported  for  the  XmSimpleSpinBox	widget
       class.

   Classes
       The  XmSimpleSpinBox  widget  inherits  behavior	and resources from the
       Core, Composite and XmManager classes.

       The class pointer is XmSimpleSpinBoxWidgetClass.

       The class name is XmSimpleSpinBoxWidget.

   New Resources
       The following table defines a set of widget resources used by  the  ap-
       plication  to  specify  data. The application 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, the ap-
       plication must remove the XmN or	XmC prefix and use the remaining  let-
       ters.  To  specify  one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xde-
       faults file, the	application must remove	the Xm prefix and use the  re-
       maining	letters	(in either lower case or upper case, but including any
       underscores between words). The codes in	the access column indicate  if
       the given resource can be set at	creation time (C), set by using	XtSet-
       Values  (S),  retrieved	by using XtGetValues (G), or is	not applicable
       (N/A).

       XmNarrowLayout
		 Specifies the style and position of the SpinBox  arrows.  The
		 following values are supported:

		 XmARROWS_FLAT_BEGINNING
			   The	arrows are placed side by side to the right of
			   the TextField.

		 XmARROWS_FLAT_END
			   The arrows are placed side by side to the  left  of
			   the TextField.

		 XmARROWS_SPLIT
			   The	down  arrow is on the left and the up arrow is
			   on the right	of the TextField.

		 XmARROWS_BEGINNING
			   The arrows are stacked and placed on	 the  left  of
			   the TextField.

		 XmARROWS_END
			   The	arrows	are stacked and	placed on the right of
			   the TextField.

       XmNarrowSensitivity
		 Specifies the sensitivity of the arrows in the	 XmSimpleSpin-
		 Box. The following values are supported:

		 XmARROWS_SENSITIVE
			   Both	arrows are active to user selection.

		 XmARROWS_DECREMENT_SENSITIVE
			   The	down arrow is active and the up	arrow is inac-
			   tive	to user	selection.

		 XmARROWS_INCREMENT_SENSITIVE
			   The up arrow	is active and the down arrow is	 inac-
			   tive	to user	selection.

		 XmARROWS_INSENSITIVE
			   Both	arrows are inactive to user selection.

       XmNcolumns
		 Specifies the number of columns of the	text field.

       XmNdecimalPoints
		 Specifies  the	position of the	radix character	within the nu-
		 meric value when XmNspinBoxChildType is XmNUMERIC.  This  re-
		 source	 is used to allow for floating point values in the Xm-
		 SimpleSpinBox widget.

       XmNeditable
		 Specifies whether the text field can take input.

		 When XmNeditable is used on a widget it sets the dropsite  to
		 XmDROP_SITE_ACTIVE.

       XmNincrementValue
		 Specifies  the	 amount	to increment or	decrement the XmNposi-
		 tion when the XmNspinBoxChildType is XmNUMERIC. When  the  Up
		 action	 is  activated,	 the XmNincrementValue is added	to the
		 XmNposition value; when the Down  action  is  activated,  the
		 XmNincrementValue  is	subtracted from	the XmNposition	value.
		 When XmNspinBoxChildType is XmSTRING, this  resource  is  ig-
		 nored.

       XmNinitialDelay
		 Specifies the amount of time in milliseconds before the Arrow
		 buttons will begin to spin continuously.

       XmNnumValues
		 Specifies  the	number of items	in the XmNvalues list when the
		 XmNspinBoxChildType resource is XmSTRING.  The	value of  this
		 resource  must	 be  a	positive  integer. The XmNnumValues is
		 maintained by the XmSimpleSpinBox widget when items are added
		 or deleted from the XmNvalues list. When  XmNspinBoxChildType
		 is not	XmSTRING, this resource	is ignored.

       XmNvalues Supplies  the	list of	strings	to cycle through when the XmN-
		 spinButtonChildType resource is XmSTRING.   When  XmNspinBox-
		 ChildType is not XmSTRING, this resource is ignored.

       XmNmaximumValue
		 Specifies the upper bound on the XmSimpleSpinBox's range when
		 XmNspinBoxChildType is	XmNUMERIC.

       XmNminimumValue
		 Specifies the lower bound on the XmSimpleSpinBox's range when
		 XmNspinBoxChildType is	XmNUMERIC.

       XmNmodifyVerifyCallback
		 Specifies  the	 callback to be	invoked	just before the	XmSim-
		 pleSpinBox position changes. The  application	can  use  this
		 callback  to implement	new application-related	logic (includ-
		 ing setting new position spinning to, or  canceling  the  im-
		 pending  action).  For	 example, this callback	can be used to
		 stop the spinning just	before wrapping	at the upper and lower
		 position boundaries. If the application sets the doit	member
		 of  the  XmSimpleSpinBoxCallbackStruct	to False, nothing hap-
		 pens. Otherwise, the position changes.	Reasons	 sent  by  the
		 callback are XmCR_SPIN_NEXT, or XmCR_SPIN_PRIOR.

       XmNposition
		 The  XmNposition  resource has	a different value based	on the
		 XmNspinBoxChildType resource. When XmNspinBoxChildType	is Xm-
		 STRING, the XmNposition is the	index into the XmNvalues  list
		 for  the  current item. When the XmNspinBoxChildType resource
		 is XmNUMERIC, the XmNposition is the integer value of the Xm-
		 SimpleSpinBox that falls within the range of  XmNmaximumValue
		 and XmNminimumValue.

       XmNrepeatDelay
		 Specifies  the	 number	of milliseconds	between	repeated calls
		 to the	XmNvalueChangedCallback	while the user is spinning the
		 XmSimpleSpinBox.

       XmNspinBoxChildType
		 Specifies the style of	 the  XmSimpleSpinBox.	The  following
		 values	are supported:

		 XmSTRING  The	child  is  a  string  value  that is specified
			   through the XmNvalues resource and incremented  and
			   decremented by changing the XmNposition resource.

		 XmNUMERIC The	child  is  a  numeric  value that is specified
			   through the XmNposition  resource  and  incremented
			   according to	the XmNincrementValue resource.

       XmtextField
		 Specifies the textfield widget.

       XmNvalueChangedCallback
		 Specifies  the	 callback  to be invoked whenever the value of
		 the XmNposition resource is changed through the  use  of  the
		 spinner arrows. The XmNvalueChangedCallback passes the	XmSim-
		 pleSpinBoxCallbackStruct call_data structure.

   Inherited Resources
       The  XmSimpleSpinBox  widget  inherits  behavior	and resources from the
       following named superclasses. For a complete description	 of  each  re-

   Callback Information
       A  pointer to the following structure is	passed to each XmSimpleSpinBox
       callback:

       typedef struct {
	       int	       reason;
	       XEvent	       *event;
	       Widget	       widget;
	       Boolean doit;
	       int	       position;
	       XmString	       value;
	       Boolean crossed_boundary;
       } XmSimpleSpinBoxCallbackStruct;

       The reason argument indicates why the callback was invoked.  There  are
       three  possible	reasons	 for this callback to be issued. The reason is
       XmCR_OK when this is the	first call to the callback at the beginning of
       a spin or if it is a single activation of the spin arrows. If  the  Xm-
       SimpleSpinBox  is  in  the process of being continuously	spun, then the
       reason will be XmCR_SPIN_NEXT or	XmCR_SPIN_PRIOR, depending on the  ar-
       row that	is spinning.

       The event argument points to the	XEvent that triggered the callback. It
       can be NULL when	the XmSimpleSpinBox is continuously spinning.

       The  widget  argument  is the widget identifier for the simple spin box
       widget that has been affected by	this callback.

       The doit	argument is set	only when the call_data	comes from the XmNmod-
       ifyVerifyCallback. It indicates that the	action that caused  the	 call-
       back  to	 be called should be performed.	The action is not performed if
       doit is set to False.

       The position argument is	the new	value of the XmNposition resource as a
       result of the spin.

       The value argument is the new XmString value displayed in the Text wid-
       get as a	result of the spin. The	application must copy this  string  if
       it is used beyond the scope of the call_data structure.

       The  crossed_boundary argument is True when the spinbox cycles. This is
       the case	when a XmNspinBoxChildType of XmSTRING wraps  from  the	 first
       item to the last	or the last item to the	first. In the case of the XmN-
       spinBoxChildType	 of XmNUMERIC, the boundary is crossed when the	XmSim-
       pleSpinBox cycles from the maximum value	to the minimum or vice versa.

ERRORS/WARNINGS
       The toolkit will	display	a warning if the application tries to set  the
       value of	the XmNtextField resource, which is read-only (marked G	in the
       resource	table).
