ARGUMENTS
args
Specifies the argument list .
base
Specifies the base address of the subpart data structure where the resources
should be |.
num_args
Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.
resources
Specifies the nonwidget resource list or values.
num_resources
Specifies the number of resources in the resource list.
w
Specifies the widget.
...
Specifies the variable argument list .
DESCRIPTION
The
function starts with the resources specified for the
widget fields and proceeds down the subclass chain to the widget.
At each stage,
it writes the new value (if specified by one of the arguments) or the existing
value (if no new value is specified) to a new widget data record.
then calls the set_values procedures for the widget in superclass-to-subclass
order.
N hook
If the widget has any non-NULL set_values_hook fields,
these are called immediately after the
corresponding set_values procedure.
This procedure permits subclasses to set nonwidget data for
If the widget's parent is a subclass of
also updates the widget's constraints.
It starts with the constraint resources specified for
and proceeds down the subclass chain to the parent's class.
At each stage,
it writes the new value or the existing value to a new constraint record.
It then calls the constraint set_values procedures from
down to the parent's class.
The constraint set_values procedures are called with widget arguments,
as for all set_values procedures, not just the constraint record arguments,
so that they can make adjustments to the desired values based
on full information about the widget.
determines if a geometry request is needed by comparing the current widget to
the new widget.
If any geometry changes are required,
it makes the request, and the geometry manager returns
or
If
calls the widget's resize procedure.
If
resets the geometry fields to their original values.
If
calls the set_values_almost procedure,
which determines what should be done and writes new values for the
geometry fields into the new widget.
then repeats this process,
deciding once more whether the geometry manager should be called.
Finally, if any of the set_values procedures returned
causes the widget's expose procedure to be invoked by calling the Xlib
function on the widget's window.
The
function stores resources into the structure identified by base.
The
function starts with the resources specified for the core widget fields
and proceeds down the subclass chain to the widget.
The value field of a passed argument list should contain the
address into which to store the corresponding resource value.
It is the caller's responsibility
to allocate and deallocate this storage according to the size of the
resource representation type used within the widget.
If the widget's parent is a subclass of
then fetches the values for any constraint resources requested.
It starts with the constraint resources specified for
and proceeds down to the subclass chain to the parent's constraint resources.
If the argument list contains a resource name that is not found in any of the
resource lists searched,
the value at the corresponding address is not modified.
N hook
Finally, if the get_values_hook procedures are non-NULL,
they are called in superclass-to-subclass order after
all the resource values have been fetched by
This permits a subclass to provide nonwidget resource data to
The
function obtains resource values from the structure identified by base.
