XmLabel

Synopsis

Description

There is a corresponding Label Gadget(Under Construction).

XmNaccelerator

This resource is defined for use by XmLabel subclasses, and cannot be used by an XmLabel widget. When defined for a PushButton or ToggleButton subclass in a PopUp or PullDown menu pane, it specifies the accelerator that activates the button.

XmNacceleratorText

Specifies the text displayed for an accelerator.

XmNalignment

Specifies the type of automatic positioning of the string or pixmap along the horizontal axis. Possible values are:

• XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING
• XmALIGNMENT_CENTER
• XmALIGNMENT_END

WARNING: the meaning of XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING and XmALIGNMENT_END depend on the value of the XmNstringDirection resource.

XmNfontList

Specifies the font used to display the string when XmNlabelType is XmSTRING.

XmNlabelInsensitivePixmap

Specifies the pixmap to display when XmNsensitive is False and XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP.

XmNlabelPixmap

Specifies the pixmap to display when XmNlabelType is XmPIXMAP.

XmNlabelString

Specifies the compound string to display when XmNlabelType is XmSTRING. If this resource is undefined and XmNlabelType is XmSTRING, XmNlabelString is set to the widget name.

XmNlabelType

Determines whether to display the string specified by XmNlabelString or the pixmap specified by XmNlabelPixmap. Valid values are:

• XmSTRING
• XmPIXMAP

XmNmnemonic

Specifies an X KeySym that can be used by XmLabel subclasses as an alternate means of activating the widget. The first character in the XmNlabelString resource that matches the XmNmnemonic(using the XmNmnemonicCharSet) exactly is underlined. If XmNmnemonic does not match any of the characters, no characters are underlined. Under Construction

XmNmnemonicCharSet

Specifies the Character Set used when the XmNmnemonic resource is defined.

XmNrecomputeSize

Specifies whether the widget will attempt to change its size based on the size of its contents. If True, the widget attempts to resize itself to the smallest size that can enclose the string or pixmap. Otherwise, no attempt is made to resize the widget on its own.

XmNstringDirection

Specifies the direction to draw the string when XmNlabelType is XmSTRING. Valid values are:

• XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R
• XmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L

If this resource is not specified, its value depends on the parent widget's type. If the parent widget is a manager, like BulletinBoard or RowColumn, the resource value is inherited from the parent. Otherwise it is set to XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R.
