XtRealizeWidget(3)		 XT FUNCTIONS		    XtRealizeWidget(3)

NAME
       XtRealizeWidget,	 XtIsRealized, XtUnrealizeWidget - realize and unreal-
       ize widgets

SYNTAX
       #include	<X11/Intrinsic.h>

       void XtRealizeWidget(Widget w);

       Boolean XtIsRealized(Widget w);

       void XtUnrealizeWidget(Widget w);

ARGUMENTS
       w	 Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
       If the widget is	 already  realized,  XtRealizeWidget  simply  returns.
       Otherwise, it performs the following:

           Binds all action names in the widget's translation table to	proce-
	    dures (see Section 10.1.2).

           Makes  a  post-order  traversal  of	 the widget tree rooted	at the
	    specified widget and calls the change_managed  procedure  of  each
	    composite widget that has one or more managed children.

           Constructs an XSetWindowAttributes structure filled	in with	infor-
	    mation  derived  from the Core widget fields and calls the realize
	    procedure for the widget, which adds any  widget-specific  attrib-
	    utes and creates the X window.

           If	 the   widget  is  not	a  subclass  of	 compositeWidgetClass,
	    XtRealizeWidget returns; otherwise,	it continues and performs  the
	    following:

	    -	 Descends recursively to each of the widget's managed children
		 and calls the realize procedures.  Primitive widgets that in-
		 stantiate  children are responsible for realizing those chil-
		 dren themselves.

	    -	 Maps  all  of	the  managed  children	 windows   that	  have
		 mapped_when_managed  True.   (If  a  widget  is  managed  but
		 mapped_when_managed is	False, the widget is allocated	visual
		 space but is not displayed.  Some people seem to like this to
		 indicate certain states.)

       If  the widget is a top-level shell widget (that	is, it has no parent),
       and mapped_when_managed is True,	XtRealizeWidget	maps the  widget  win-
       dow.

       The XtIsRealized	function returns True if the widget has	been realized,
       that is,	if the widget has a nonzero X window ID.

       Some  widget procedures (for example, set_values) might wish to operate
       differently after the widget has	been realized.

       The XtUnrealizeWidget function destroys the windows of an existing wid-
       get and all of its children (recursively	down  the  widget  tree).   To
       recreate	 the  windows at a later time, call XtRealizeWidget again.  If
       the widget was managed, it will be unmanaged automatically  before  its
       window is freed.
