XmtBuildDialog(3) Library Functions Manual XmtBuildDialog(3) NAME XmtBuildDialog(), XmtBuildQueryDialog() - create a dialog shell and its descendants. SYNOPSIS #include <Xmt/Create.h> Widget XmtBuildDialog(Widget parent, String dialog_name, XtResourceList resources, Cardinal num_resources) Widget XmtBuildQueryDialog(Widget parent, String dialog_name, XtResourceList resources, Cardinal num_resources, { String child_name, Widget *child_address, } NULL) ARGUMENTS INPUTS parent The parent of the dialog shell to be created. dialog_name The name of the dialog shell to be created. resources An optional resource list that gives names, types and off- sets for each of the data items that will be displayed or input through the dialog box. num_resources The number of elements in the resources array. child_name The name of a widget to be returned. May be repeated any number of times in a NULL-terminated variable-length argu- ment list. OUTPUTS child_address The address at which the widget specified by child_name is to be stored. May be repeated any number of times in a NULL-terminated variable length argument list. RETURNS The child of the newly created dialog shell; a grandchild of par- ent. DESCRIPTION XmtBuildDialog() and XmtBuildQueryDialog() create an XmDialogShell wid- get with the specified name and parent, and then read the xmtChildren resource for that widget database and use it to recursively create all the descendants of the dialog shell, in the same way that XmtCreate- Children() and XmtCreateQueryChildren() do. Like XmtCreateQueryChildren(), XmtBuildQueryDialog() will return point- ers to the widgets named in its NULL-terminated variable-length argu- ment list. XmtCreateChildren() and related widget creation functions parse a wid- get specification grammar described in Chapter 12, Automatic Widget Creation. XmtBuildDialog() and XmtBuildQueryDialog() extend this gram- mar, to allow the name of a data value to be associated with any widget in the dialog. The resources argument is an array of XtResource structures that defines a data type, size, and offset for each of these named data values. These named data values are used by the Xmt auto- matic dialog management facilities described in Chapter 31, Custom Dialogs and Automatic Dialog Management. USAGE Note that these functions do not return the XmDialogShell widget they create, but rather the child of that widget. (Recall that shell wid- gets can only have a single child.) You can pop up and pop down the dialog shell by managing and unmanaging its child. If you are using the automatic dialog management facilities of Chapter 29, you can also use convenience functions like XmtDialogDo() and XmtDialogDoSync().
