<H3>Description</H3>
This is the base class for browsers. To be useful it must be
subclassed and several virtual functions defined. The Forms-compatible
browser and the file chooser's browser are subclassed off of this.
<P>This has been designed so that the subclass has complete control
over the storage of the data, although because <TT>next()</TT> and <TT>
prev()</TT> functions are used to index, it works best as a linked list
or as a large block of characters in which the line breaks must be
searched for. </P>
<P>A great deal of work has been done so that the &quot;height&quot; of a data
object does not need to be determined until it is drawn. This is
useful if actually figuring out the size of an object requires
accessing image data or doing <TT>stat()</TT> on a file or doing some
other slow operation. </P>

<P>The destructor deletes all list items and destroys the browser.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.bbox">Fl_Browser_::bbox(int &amp;x, int &amp;y, int &amp;w, int &amp;h) const</A></H4>
<P>This method returns the bounding box for the interior of the list, inside
the scrollbars.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.deleting">Fl_Browser_::deleting(void *a)</A></H4>
<P>This method should be used when an item is deleted from the list.
It allows the <TT>Fl_Browser_</TT> to discard any cached data it has
on the item.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.deselect">int Fl_Browser_::deselect(int docb=0)</A></H4>
<P>Deselects all items in the list and returns 1 if the state changed
or 0 if it did not.
<P>If <TT>docb</TT> is non-zero, <TT>deselect</TT> tries to call the
callback function for the widget.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.display">Fl_Browser_::display(void *p)</A></H4>
<P>Displays item <TT>p</TT>, scrolling the list as necessary.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.displayed">int Fl_Browser_::displayed(void *p) const</A></H4>

<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.full_height">virtual int Fl_Browser_::full_height() const</A></H4>
<P>This method may be provided by the subclass to indicate the full height
of the item list in pixels. The default implementation computes the full
height from the item heights.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.full_width">Fl_Browser_::full_width() const</A></H4>
<P>This method may be provided by the subclass to indicate the full width
of the item list in pixels. The default implementation computes the full
width from the item widths.

<BR>Fl_Browser_::handle(int event, int x, int y, int w, int h)</A></H4>
<P>The first form handles an event within the normal widget bounding box.
<P>The second form handles an event within the specified bounding box.
<H4><A name="Fl_Browser_.has_scrollbar">void
Fl_Browser_::has_scrollbar(int h)</A></H4>
<P>By default you can scroll in both directions, and the scrollbars
disappear if the data will fit in the widget. has_scrollbar() changes
this based on the value of <TT>h</TT>:
<UL>
<LI><CODE>0</CODE> - No scrollbars.
<LI><CODE>Fl_Browser_::HORIZONTAL</CODE> - Only a horizontal
scrollbar.
<LI><CODE>Fl_Browser_::VERTICAL</CODE> - Only a vertical
scrollbar.
<LI><CODE>Fl_Browser_::BOTH</CODE> - The default is both
scrollbars.

which is the pixel offset of the list items within the list
area.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.incr_height">virtual int Fl_Browser_::incr_height() const</A></H4>
<P>This method may be provided to return the average height of all items, to
be used for scrolling. The default implementation uses the height of the first
item.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.inserting">Fl_Browser_::inserting(void *a, void *b)</A></H4>

<P>This method may be provided by the subclass to return the height of the
item <TT>p</TT> in pixels. Allow for two additional pixels for the list
selection box. This method differs from
<A HREF="#Fl_Browser_.item_height"><TT>item_height</TT></A> in that it is only
called for selection and scrolling operations. The default implementation
calls <TT>item_height</TT>.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.item_select">virtual void Fl_Browser_::item_select(void *p, int s=1)</A></H4>
<P>This method must be implemented by the subclass if it supports

after adjusting for the scrollbar and border, if any.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.new_list">Fl_Browser_::new_list()</A></H4>
<P>This method should be called when the list data is completely replaced
or cleared. It informs the <TT>Fl_Browser_</TT> widget that any cached
information it has concerning the items is invalid.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.position">int Fl_Browser_::position() const
<BR>Fl_Browser_::position(int v) const</A></H4>
<P>Gets or sets the vertical scrolling position of the list,
which is the pixel offset of the list items within the list
area.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.redraw_line">Fl_Browser_::redraw_line(void *p)</A></H4>
<P>This method should be called when the contents of an item have changed
but not changed the height of the item.

<P>Sets the selection state of item <TT>p</TT> to <TT>s</TT> and
returns 1 if the state changed or 0 if it did not.
<P>If <TT>docb</TT> is non-zero, <TT>select</TT> tries to call the callback
function for the widget.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.select_only">Fl_Browser_::select_only(void *p, int docb=0)</A></H4>
<P>Selects item <TT>p</TT> and returns 1 if the state changed or 0 if it did
not. Any other items in the list are deselected.
<P>If <TT>docb</TT> is non-zero, <TT>select_only</TT> tries to call the
callback function for the widget.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.selection">void *Fl_Browser_::selection() const</A></H4>
<P>Returns the item currently selected, or NULL if there is no selection.
For multiple selection browsers this call returns the last item that was
selected.
