INSTANCE VARIABLES
help_action
is an action that is executed when the help key
sequence is pressed.
MESSAGES
@ resource
selects resource
for a subsequent set or query.
: value
sets the current resource to value.
Since most
resources have mixed case, you should enclose any
resource name in quotes. Resource names are the
Motif names with the XmN
prefix removed. Some
resources can only be set before the widget is created. For efficiency, set as many resources as you
can before creation.
scalar_value?
returns the value of the current resource whose
type is integer.
string_value?
returns the value of the current resource whose
type is string.
pointer_value?
returns the value of the current resource whose
type is a pointer of any kind.
create!
creates an instance of the widget. Any resources
that have been specified prior to the create! will
be set. An id? message also sends a create!.
on! realizes the widget. Realizing a widget creates
its windows and displays it when it is managed.
EXAMPLES
For examples, consult the man page for any motif manager
subclass.
