<P><TT>fl_color_chooser()</TT> pops up a window to let the user pick an
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary RGB color. They can pick the hue and saturation in the "hue
|
|
|
|
|
box" on the left (hold down CTRL to just change the saturation), and
|
|
|
|
|
the brighness using the vertical slider. Or they can type the 8-bit
|
|
|
|
|
numbers into the RGB <A href=Fl_Value_Input.html#Fl_Value_Input><TT>
|
|
|
|
|
Fl_Value_Input</TT></A> fields, or drag the mouse across them to adjust
|
|
|
|
|
them. The pull-down menu lets the user set the input fields to show
|
|
|
|
|
RGB, HSV, or 8-bit RGB (0 to 255). </P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>This returns non-zero if the user picks ok, and updates the RGB
|
|
|
|
|
values. If the user picks cancel or closes the window this returns
|
|
|
|
|
zero and leaves RGB unchanged. </P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>If you use the color chooser on an 8-bit screen, it will allocate
|
|
|
|
|
all the available colors, leaving you no space to exactly represent the
|
|
|
|
|
color the user picks! You can however use <A href=#fl_rectf><TT>
|
|
|
|

fl_rectf()</TT></A> to fill a region with a simulated color using
|
|
|

dithering. </P>

access with <A href=#fl_color><TT>fl_color()</TT></A> and lets the user
|
|
|

FLTK provides a "tab completion" file chooser that makes it easy to
|
|
|
|
|
choose files from large directories. This file chooser has several
|
|
|
|
|
unique features, the major one being that the Tab key completes
|
|
|
|
|
filenames like it does in Emacs or tcsh, and the list always shows all
|
|
|
|
|
possible completions.

1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00

<TT>fl_file_chooser()</TT> pops up the file chooser, waits for the user
|
|
|
|
|
to pick a file or Cancel, and then returns a pointer to that filename
|
|
|
|
|
or <TT>NULL</TT> if Cancel is chosen.
|
|
|
|
|
<P><TT>message</TT> is a string used to title the window. </P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P><TT>pattern</TT> is used to limit the files listed in a directory to

|
|
|
|
those matching the pattern. This matching is done by <A href=#filename_match>
|
|
|
|
|
<TT>filename_match()</TT></A>. Use <TT>NULL</TT> to show all files. </P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P><TT>fname</TT> is a default filename to fill in the chooser with.
|
|
|
|
|
If this is <TT>NULL</TT> then the last filename that was choosen is
|
|
|
|
|
used (unless that had a different pattern, in which case just the last
|
|

directory with no name is used). The first time the file chooser is

|
|
|
|
|
Set a function that is called every time the user clicks a file in the
|
|
|
|
|
currently popped-up file chooser. This could be used to preview the
|
|
|
|
|
contents of the file. It has to be reasonably fast, and cannot create

FLTK windows.

|
|
|
|
|
This is a portable and const-correct wrapper for the <TT>fl_scandir</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
function. <TT>d</TT> is the name of a directory (it does not matter if
|
|
|
|
|
it has a trailing slash or not). For each file in that directory a
|
|
|
|
|
"dirent" structure is created. The only portable thing about a dirent
|
|
|
|
|
is that dirent.d_name is the nul-terminated file name. An array of
|
|
|
|
|
pointers to these dirents is created and a pointer to the array is
|
|
|
|
|
returned in <TT>*list</TT>. The number of entries is given as a return
|
|
|
|
|
value. If there is an error reading the directory a number less than
|
|
|
|
|
zero is returned, and <TT>errno</TT> has the reason (<TT>errno</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
does not work under WIN32). The files are sorted in "alphanumeric"
|
|
|
|
|
order, where an attempt is made to put unpadded numbers in consecutive
|
|
|
|
|
order.

Install a function to parse unrecognized events. If FLTK cannot

|
|
|
|
figure out what to do with an event, it calls each of these functions
|
|
|
|
|
(most recent first) until one of them returns non-zero. If none of
|
|
|
|
|
them returns non zero then the event is ignored. Events that cause
|
|
|
|
|
this to be called are:
|
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
|
<LI><TT>FL_SHORTCUT</TT> events that are not recognized by any widget.

FLTK provides an <I>entirely optional</I> command-line switch parser.
|
|
|
|
|
You don't have to call it if you don't like them! Everything it can do
|
|
|
|
|
can be done with other calls to FLTK.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>To use the switch parser, call <TT>Fl::args(...)</TT> near the start
|
|
|
|
|
of your program. This does <I>not</I> open the display, instead
|
|
|
|
|
switches that need the display open are stashed into static variables.
|
|
|
|
|
Then you <I>must</I> display your first window by calling <A href=Fl_Window.html#Fl_Window.show>
|
|

window->show(argc,argv)</A>, which will do anything stored in the

static variables. </P>

<P><TT>callback</TT> lets you define your own switches. It is called

with the same <TT>argc</TT> and <TT>argv</TT>, and with <TT>i</TT> the
|
|
|
|
|
index of each word. The callback should return zero if the switch is
|
|
|
|
|
unrecognized, and not change <TT>i</TT>. It should return non-zero if
|
|
|
|
|
the switch is recognized, and add at least 1 to <TT>i</TT> (it can add
|
|
|
|
|
more to consume words after the switch). This function is called

<i>before</i> any other tests, so <i>you can override any FLTK

This is a bitfield of what shift states were on and what mouse buttons

were held down during the most recent event. The second version

returns non-zero if any of the passed bits are turned on. The legal

X servers do not agree on shift states, and FL_NUM_LOCK, FL_META, and

FL_SCROLL_LOCK may not work. The values were selected to match the

|
|
|
XFree86 server on Linux. In addition there is a bug in the way X works
|
|
|
|
|
so that the shift state is not correctly reported until the first event <I>
|
|
|
|
|
after</I> the shift key is pressed or released.

<H3><A name=event_text>char *Fl::event_text()</A></H3>

the last <TT>FL_KEYBOARD</TT> or <TT>FL_PASTEM</TT> or possibly other
|
|

that do not produce text. This pointer points at a static buffer and is

only valid until the next event is processed.

Returns the first top-level window in the list of shown() windows. If

a modal() window is shown this is the top-most modal window, otherwise
|
|
|

Sets the window that is returned by first_window. The window is

removed from wherever it is in the list and inserted at the top. This
|
|
|
|
|
is not done if Fl::modal() is on or if the window is not shown().
|
|

Because the first window is used to set the "parent" of modal windows,

this is often useful.

Get a human-readable string describing the family of this face. This

is useful if you are presenting a choice to the user. There is no

guarantee that each face has a different name. The return value points

<P>The integer pointed to by <TT>attributes</TT> (if the pointer is not

forward and back for a set with non-zero attributes, these faces along

Return an array of sizes in <TT>sizep</TT>. The return value is the

length of this array. The sizes are sorted from smallest to largest
|
|
|
|
|
and indicate what sizes can be given to <TT>fl_font()</TT> that will be

|
|
|
matched exactly (<TT>fl_font()</TT> will pick the closest size for
|
|

other sizes). A zero in the first location of the array indicates a

scalable font, where any size works, although the array may list sizes
|
|
|
|
|
that work "better" than others. Warning: the returned array points at

a static buffer that is overwritten each call. Under X this will open

<H3><A name=get_mouse>static void Fl::get_mouse(int &x, int &y)</A></H3>
|
|

Return where the mouse is on the screen by doing a round-trip query to

|
|
the server. You should use <TT>Fl::event_x_root()</TT> and <TT>
|
|
|
|
|
Fl::event_y_root()</TT> if possible, but this is necessary if you are
|
|
|
|
|
not sure if a mouse event has been processed recently (such as to
|
|

position your first window). If the display is not open, this will

open it.

<H3><A name=get_system_colors>static void Fl::get_system_colors()</A></H3>

Fl::foreground()</TT>, <TT>Fl::background()</TT>, and <TT>

This is used when pop-up menu systems are active. Send all events to
|
|
|
|
|
the passed window no matter where the pointer or focus is (including
|
|
|
|
|
in other programs). The window <I>does not have to be
|
|
|
|
|
<TT>shown()</TT></I> , this lets the <TT>handle()</TT> method of a
|
|
|
|
|
"dummy" window override all event handling and allows you to
|
|
|
|
|
map and unmap a complex set of windows (under both X and WIN32
|
|
|
|
|
<I>some</I> window must be mapped because the system interface needs a
|
|
|
|
|
window id).
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If <tt>grab()</tt> is on it will also affect show() of windows by
|
|
|
|
|
doing system-specific operations (on X it turns on
|

|
|
override-redirect). These are designed to make menus popup reliably
|
|
|
|
|
and faster on the system.

The <TT>modal()</TT> window has its <TT>handle()</TT> method called

Makes FLTK use its own colormap. This may make FLTK display better

and will reduce conflicts with other programs that want lots of colors.
|

However the colors may flash as you move the cursor between windows.

should be prepared to be called <I>directly</I> by this, or for it to

window system to take as long as necessary to retrieve the paste buffer

The single-argument <TT>selection_owner(x)</TT> call can be used to

<P><I>Copying the buffer every time the selection is changed is

obviously wasteful, especially for large selections. An interface will

probably be added in a future version to allow the selection to be made

<P>The optional argument is a string to describe the set of fonts to

ISO8859-1 character set (and are thus usable by normal text). Passing

"-*" will select all fonts with any encoding as long as they have

normal X font names with dashes in them. Passing "*" will list every

font that exists (on X this may produce some strange output). Other

values may be useful but are system dependent. With WIN32 <TT>NULL</TT>

Calls the idle function if any, then calls any pending timeout

there are any windows displayed it then waits some time for events
|
|
|
|
|
(zero if there is an idle(), the shortest timeout if there are any
|
|
|
|
|
timeouts, or forever) and calls the handle() function on those events,
|
|
|
|
|
and then returns non-zero.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Your program can check its global state and update things after each
|
|
|
|
|
call to <TT>Fl::wait()</TT>, which can be very useful in complex

|
programs. </P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>If there are no windows (this is checked after the idle and timeouts
|
|
|
|
|
are called) then <TT>Fl::wait()</TT> returns zero without waiting for
|
|
|
|
|
any events. Your program can either exit at this point, or call <TT>
|
|
|
|
|
show()</TT> on some window so the GUI can continue to operate. The
|
|
|
|
|
second form of <TT>Fl::wait()</TT> waits only a certain amount of time
|
|
|
|
|
for anything to happen. This does the same as <TT>wait()</TT> except
|
|
|
|
|
if the given time (in seconds) passes it returns. The return value is
|
|
|
|
|
how much time remains. If the return value is zero or negative then
|

the entire time period elapsed. </P>
|

<P>If you do several <TT>wait(time)</TT> calls in a row, the subsequent

ones are measured from when the first one is called, even if you do

time-consuming calculations after they return. This allows you to

accurately make something happen at regular intervals. This code will

accurately call <TT>A()</TT> once per second (as long as it takes less

FLTK will call these to print messages when unexpected conditions

routines.

<P><TT>Fl::warning</TT> means that there was a recoverable problem, the

|
|
|
|
recoverable error, but the display is so messed up it is unlikely the
|
|
|
|
|
user can continue (very little calls this now). <TT>Fl::fatal</TT> must
|
|
|
|

not return, as FLTK is in an unusable state, however your version may

be able to use <TT>longjmp</TT> or an exception to continue, as long as

it does not call FLTK again. </P>
