LessTif Enumerated Constants
Alignment Types
The Alignment Types are enumerated values that are used with the
resources like XmNalignment and XmNentryAlignment.
They specify the alignment of label strings or pixmaps within a
widget, typically a Label or one of its subclasses. The valid
Alignment Types are:
- XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING
- If
XmNstringDirection is XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R,
the string or pixmap is aligned with the left edge of the widget window.
If XmNstringDirection is XmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L,
the text or pixmap is aligned with the right edge of the widget window.
- XmALIGNMENT_CENTER
- The string or pixmap is centered between the left and right edges of the
widget window.
- XmALIGNMENT_END
- If
XmNstringDirection is XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R,
the string or pixmap is aligned with the right edge of the widget window.
If XmNstringDirection is XmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L,
the text or pixmap is aligned with the left edge of the widget window.
Label Types
The Label Types are enumerated values that are normally used with the
XmNlabelType resource. The valid Label Types are
- XmSTRING
- The Label Type is a Compound String(XmString).
- XmPIXMAP
- The Label Type is a Pixmap.
Multi-Click Types
The Multi-Click Types are enumerated values that are normally used with the
button XmNmultiClick resource. The valid Multi-Click Types are:
- XmMULTI_CLICK_DISCARD
- Ignore successive button clicks. This is the default if the
widget is not in a menu.
- XmMULTI_CLICK_KEEP
- Count successive button clicks. This is the default if the
widget is in a menu.
Orientation
- XmHORIZONTAL
-
- XmVERTICAL
-
Processing Direction
- XmMAX_ON_TOP
-
- XmMAX_ON_BOTTOM
-
- XmMAX_ON_LEFT
-
- XmMAX_ON_RIGHT
-
Shadow Types
The Shadow Types are enumerated values that are normally used with
the XmNshadowType resource, and are affected by the
XmNshadowThickness resource. The valid Shadow Types are:
- XmSHADOW_IN
- Shadow is drawn so that the enclosed area appears inset,
or lower than the surrounding window area.
- XmSHADOW_OUT
- Shadow is drawn so that the enclosed area appears outset,
or higher than the surrounding window area.
- XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN
- Pair of shadows are drawn close together to give the
appearance of a line etched in to the window. For a
shadow that encloses an area, the effect is similar to drawing two
shadow borders; an outer XmSHADOW_IN border with an inner
XmSHADOW_OUT border.
- XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT
- Pair of shadows are drawn close together to give the
appearance of a line raised above the window. For a
shadow that encloses an area, the effect is similar to drawing two
shadow borders; an outer XmSHADOW_OUT border with an inner
XmSHADOW_IN border.
String Direction
The data type XmStringDirection is normally used with the
XmNstringDirection resource. It defines the direction
the the characters in a string are to drawn. There is currently
no support for strings drawn vertically. The valid String Directions are:
- XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R
- Characters in the string are drawn from Left to Right.
- XmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L
- Characters in the string are drawn from Right to Left.
- XmSTRING_DIRECTION_DEFAULT
- Although this value is defined, it does not appear to be used.
