|
|
|
|
<P>FLTK will call this callback just before it flushes the display and
|
|
waits for events. This is different than an idle callback because it
|
|
is only called once, then FLTK calls the system and tells it not to
|
|
return until an event happens.
|
|
|
|
<p>This can be used by code that wants to monitor the
|
|
application's state, such as to keep a display up to date. The
|
|
advantage of using a check callback is that it is called only when no
|
|
events are pending. If events are coming in quickly, whole blocks of
|
|
them will be processed before this is called once. This can save
|
|
significant time and avoid the application falling behind the events.
|
|
|
|
<p>Sample code:
|
|
|
|
<UL><PRE>
|
|
bool state_changed; // anything that changes the display turns this on
|
|
|
|
void callback(void*) {
|
|
if (!state_changed) return;
|
|
state_changed = false;
|
|
do_expensive_calculation();
|
|
widget->redraw();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
main() {
|
|
Fl::add_check(callback);
|
|
return Fl::run();
|
|
}
|
|
</PRE></UL>
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="Fl.add_fd">void add_fd(int fd, int when, void (*cb)(int,void*),void* =0);<BR>
|
|
void add_fd(int fd, void (*cb)(int, void*), void* = 0);</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<P>Add file descriptor <tt>fd</tt> to listen to. When the <tt>fd</tt>
|
|
becomes ready for reading <tt>Fl::wait()</tt> will call the callback
|
|
and then return. The callback is
|
|
passed the <tt>fd</tt> and the arbitrary <tt>void*</tt> argument.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The second version takes a <tt>when</tt> bitfield, with the bits
|
|
<tt>FL_READ</tt>, <tt>FL_WRITE</tt>, and <tt>FL_EXCEPT</tt> defined,
|
|
to indicate when the callback should be done.
|
|
|
|
<P>There can only be one callback of each type for a file descriptor. <tt>
|
|
Fl::remove_fd()</tt> gets rid of <I>all</I> the callbacks for a given
|
|
file descriptor.
|
|
|
|
<P>Under UNIX <I>any</I> file descriptor can be monitored (files,
|
|
devices, pipes, sockets, etc.) Due to limitations in Microsoft Windows,
|
|
WIN32 applications can only monitor sockets.
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="Fl.add_handler">void add_handler(int (*h)(int));</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<P>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.
|
|
This lets you provide global shortcut keys. </LI>
|
|
<LI>System events that FLTK does not recognize. See <A href=osissues.html#fl_xevent>
|
|
<tt>fl_xevent</tt></A>. </LI>
|
|
<LI><I>Some</I> other events when the widget FLTK selected returns
|
|
zero from its <tt>handle()</tt> method. Exactly which ones may change
|
|
in future versions, however. </LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="Fl.add_idle">void add_idle(void (*cb)(void*), void* = 0);</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<P>Adds a callback function that is called every time by
|
|
<tt>Fl::wait()</tt> and also makes it act as though the timeout is
|
|
zero (this makes <tt>Fl::wait()</tt> return immediately, so if it is
|
|
in a loop it is called repeatedly, and thus the idle fucntion is
|
|
called repeatedly). The idle function can be used to get background
|
|
processing done.
|
|
|
|
<P>You can have multiple idle callbacks. To remove an idle callback use <A
|
|
href="#Fl.remove_idle"><tt>Fl::remove_idle()</tt></A>.
|
|
|
|
<P><tt>Fl::wait()</tt> and <tt>Fl::check()</tt> call idle callbacks,
|
|
but <tt>Fl::ready()</tt> does not.
|
|
|
|
<P>The idle callback can call any FLTK functions, including
|
|
<tt>Fl::wait()</tt>, <tt>Fl::check()</tt>, and <tt>Fl::ready()</tt>.
|
|
FLTK will not recursively call the idle callback.
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="Fl.add_timeout">void add_timeout(double t, Fl_Timeout_Handler,void* = 0);</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<P>Add a one-shot timeout callback. The function will be called by
|
|
<tt>Fl::wait()</tt> at <i>t</i> seconds after this function is called.
|
|
The optional <tt>void*</tt> argument is passed to the callback.
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="Fl.arg">int arg(int, char**, int&);</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<P>Consume a single switch from <tt>argv</tt>, starting at word i.
|
|
Returns the number of words eaten (1 or 2, or 0 if it is not
|
|
recognized) and adds the same value to <tt>i</tt>. You can use this
|
|
function if you prefer to control the incrementing through the
|
|
arguments yourself.
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="Fl.args">int args(int, char**, int&, int (*)(int,char**,int&) = 0);</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<P>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><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
|
|
switch</i> (this is why FLTK can use very short switches instead of
|
|
the long ones all other toolkits force you to use).
|
|
|
|
<P>On return <tt>i</tt> is set to the index of the first non-switch.
|
|
This is either:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>The first word that does not start with '-'. </LI>
|
|
<LI>The word '-' (used by many programs to name stdin as a file) </LI>
|
|
<LI>The first unrecognized switch (return value is 0). </LI>
|
|
<LI><tt>argc</tt></LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>The return value is <tt>i</tt> unless an unrecognized switch is found,
|
|
in which case it is zero. If your program takes no arguments other
|
|
than switches you should produce an error if the return value is less
|
|
than <tt>argc</tt>.
|
|
|
|
<P>All switches except -bg2 may be abbreviated one letter and case is ignored:

<P>The second form of <tt>Fl::args()</tt> is useful if your program does

not have command line switches of its own. It parses all the switches,

<P>If you change the belowmouse widget, the previous one and all

parents (that don't contain the new widget) are sent <tt>FL_LEAVE</tt>
|

events. Changing this does <I>not</I> send <tt>FL_ENTER</tt> to this
|

or any widget, because sending <tt>FL_ENTER</tt> is supposed to <I>test</I>
|

if the widget wants the mouse (by it returning non-zero from <tt>

<H4><A NAME="Fl.compose">int compose(int &del);</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Use of this function is very simple. Any text editing widget should
|
|
call this for each <tt>FL_KEYBOARD</tt> event.
|
|
|
|
<p>If <i>true</i> is returned, then it has modified the
|
|
Fl::event_text() and Fl::event_length() to a set of <i>bytes</i> to
|
|
insert (it may be of zero length!). In will also set the "del"
|
|
parameter to the number of <i>bytes</i> to the left of the cursor to
|
|
delete, this is used to delete the results of the previous call to
|
|
Fl::compose().
|
|
|
|
<p>If <i>false</i> is returned, the keys should be treated as function
|
|
keys, and del is set to zero. You could insert the text anyways, if
|
|
you don't know what else to do.
|
|
|
|
<p>Though the current implementation returns immediately, future
|
|
versions may take quite awhile, as they may pop up a window or do
|
|
other user-interface things to allow characters to be selected.
|
|
|
|
<H4><A NAME="Fl.compose_reset">void compose_reset();</A></H4>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the user moves the cursor, be sure to call Fl::compose_reset().
|
|
The next call to Fl::compose() will start out in an initial state. In
|
|
particular it will not set "del" to non-zero. This call is very fast
|
|
so it is ok to call it many times and in many places.

<P>Sets the X display to use for all windows. Actually this just sets

the environment variable $DISPLAY to the passed string, so this only

works before you show() the first window or otherwise open the display,

again while <tt>event_is_click()</tt> is true.

<UL>
|

<LI>All keys on the main keyboard producing a printable ASCII
|
|
character use the value of that ASCII character (as though shift,
|
|
ctrl, and caps lock were not on). The space bar is 32. </LI>
|
|
<LI>All keys on the numeric keypad producing a printable ASCII
|
|
character use the value of that ASCII character plus <tt>FL_KP</tt>.
|
|
The highest possible value is <tt>FL_KP_Last</tt> so you can
|
|
range-check to see if something is on the keypad. </LI>
|
|
<LI>All numbered function keys use the number on the function key plus <tt>
|
|
FL_F</tt>. The highest possible number is <tt>FL_F_Last</tt>, so you
|
|
can range-check a value. </LI>
|
|
<LI>Buttons on the mouse are considered keys, and use the button
|
|
number (where the left button is 1) plus <tt>FL_Button</tt>. </LI>
|

<LI>All other keys on the keypad have a symbol: <tt>FL_Escape,

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

it is the most recent window to get an event.

first_window. The window is removed from wherever it is in the

useful.

doing system-specific operations (on X it turns on

call this method prior to updating any widgets or accessing

<P>When the <A HREF="#Fl.wait"><TT>wait()</TT></A> method is waiting

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

happen <I>later</I>, or possibly <I>not at all</I>. This allows the

synchronization code in FLTK.

<P>If you change the pushed widget, the previous one and all parents

<P>Inside a timeout callback you can call this to add another timeout.
|

Rather than the time being measured from "now", it is measured from

when the system call elapsed that caused this timeout to be called. This
|
|
will result in far more accurate spacing of the timeout callbacks, it
|
|
also has slightly less system call overhead. (It will also use all

your machine time if your timeout code and FLTK's overhead take more

italic.

add. Passing <tt>NULL</tt> will select only fonts that have the

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>
