| 2028 | 119 since XEmacs 21.4, XEmacs has supported ``native'' widgets (GUI controls |
| 120 implemented as Lisp APIs in C for the MS Windows, Motif, Athena, and GTK | |
| 121 toolkits) and libglade (GUI controls with an XML API for the GTK | |
| 122 toolkit). On the other hand, Emacs does provide the necessary | |
| 123 primitives to implement many other widgets within a text buffer, and of | |
| 124 course this is the only way to implement self-contained controls in a | |
| 125 text terminal. The @code{widget} package simplifies this task. | |

162 Now, of what possible use can support for widgets be in a text editor? |
| 428 | 163 I'm glad you asked. The answer is that widgets are useful for |
| 2028 | 164 implementing forms. A @dfn{form} in Emacs is a buffer where the user is |
| 428 | 165 supposed to fill out a number of fields, each of which has a specific |
| 166 meaning. The user is not supposed to change or delete any of the text | |
| 167 between the fields. Examples of forms in Emacs are the @file{forms} | |
| 168 package (of course), the customize buffers, the mail and news compose | |

312 @cindex button widgets |

| 314 be @dfn{invoked} by a standard key or mouse command. These portions | |
| 315 are called @dfn{buttons}. The default commands for activating a button | |
| 316 are: | |
| 317 | |
| 318 @table @kbd | |
| 319 @item @key{RET} | |
| 320 @deffn Command widget-button-press @var{pos} &optional @var{event} | |

| 322 If point is not located on a button, invoke the binding in | |
| 323 @code{widget-global-map} (by default the global map). | |

| 428 | 1650 @item :convert-widget |
| 1339 | 1651 Method to convert type-specific components of a widget type before |
| 1652 instantiating a widget of that type. Not normally called from user | |
| 1653 code, it is invoked by @code{widget-convert}. Typical operations | |
| 1654 include converting types of child widgets to widget instances and | |
| 1655 converting values from external format (@emph{i.e.}, as expected by the | |
| 1656 calling code) to internal format (which is often different for the | |
| 1657 convenience of widget manipulation). It takes a widget type as an | |
| 1658 argument, and returns the converted widget type. When a widget is | |
| 1659 created, the value of this property is called for the widget type, then | |
| 1660 for all the widget's parent types, most derived first. (The property is | |
| 1661 reevaluated for each parent type.) | |
| 428 | 1662 |

1680 of combined widgets share nested attributes. Any member of the |
| 1339 | 1681 widget which might be changed in place (rather than replaced) should be |
| 1682 copied by this method. (@code{widget-copy} uses @code{copy-sequence} to | |
| 1683 ensure that the top-level list is a copy.) This particularly applies to | |
| 1684 child widgets. | |

1708 @vindex create@r{ keyword} |
| 428 | 1709 @item :create |
| 1710 Function to create a widget from scratch. The function takes one | |

| 1712 from user code. Instead, call @code{widget-create} or related | |
| 1713 functions, which take a type argument, (usually) convert it to a widget, | |
| 1714 call the @code{:create} function to insert it in the buffer, and then | |
| 1715 return the (possibly converted) widget. | |
| 1716 | |
| 1717 The default, @code{widget-default-create}, is invariably appropriate. | |

| 1808 | |
| 1339 | 1809 In implementing complex hierarchical widgets (@emph{e.g.}, using the |
| 1810 @samp{group} widget), the following functions may be useful. | |
| 1811 The syntax for the @var{type} arguments to these functions is described | |
| 1812 in @ref{Basic Types}. | |
| 1813 | |
| 1814 @defun widget-create-child-and-convert parent type &rest args | |
| 1815 As a child of @var{parent}, create a widget with type @var{type} and | |
| 4312 | 1816 value @var{value}. @var{type} is copied, and the @code{:widget-convert} |
| 1339 | 1817 method is applied to the optional keyword arguments from @var{args}. |
| 1818 @end defun | |
| 1819 | |
| 1820 @defun widget-create-child parent type | |
| 1821 As a child of @var{parent}, create a widget with type @var{type}. | |
| 1347 | 1822 @var{type} is copied, but no conversion method is applied. |
| 1339 | 1823 @end defun |
| 1824 | |
| 1825 @defun widget-create-child-value parent type value | |
| 1826 As a child of @var{parent}, create a widget with type @var{type} and | |
| 1347 | 1827 value @var{value}. @var{type} is copied, but no conversion method is |
| 1339 | 1828 applied. |
| 1829 @end defun | |
| 1830 | |
| 1831 @defun widget-convert type &rest args | |
| 1832 Convert @var{type} to a widget without inserting it in the buffer. | |
| 1833 The optional @var{args} are additional keyword arguments. | |
| 1834 | |
| 1835 The widget's @code{:args} property is set from the longest tail of | |
| 1836 @var{args} whose @samp{cdr} is not a keyword, or if that is null, from | |
| 1837 the longest tail of @var{type}'s @code{:args} property whose cdr is not | |
| 1838 a keyword. Keyword arguments from @var{args} are set, and the | |
| 1839 @code{:value} property (if any) is converted from external to internal | |
| 1840 format. | |
| 1841 @end defun | |
| 1842 | |
| 1843 @code{widget-convert} is typically not called from user code; rather it | |
| 1844 is called implicitly through the @samp{widget-create*} functions. | |

1978 @node Widget Internals, GNU Free Documentation License, Widget Wishlist, Top |
| 1183 | 1979 @section Internals |
| 1980 | |
| 1981 This (very brief!) section provides a few notes on the internal | |
| 1982 structure and implementation of Emacs widgets. Avoid relying on this | |
| 1983 information. (We intend to improve it, but this will take some time.) | |
| 1984 To the extent that it actually describes APIs, the information will be | |
| 1985 moved to appropriate sections of the manual in due course. | |
| 1986 | |
| 1987 @subsection The @dfn{Widget} and @dfn{Type} Structures | |
| 1988 | |
| 1989 Widgets and types are currently both implemented as lists. | |
| 1990 | |
| 1991 A symbol may be defined as a @dfn{type name} using @code{define-widget}. | |
| 1992 @xref{Defining New Widgets}. A @dfn{type} is a list whose car is a | |
| 1993 previously defined type name, nil, or (recursively) a type. The car is | |
| 1994 the @dfn{class} or parent type of the type, and properties which are not | |
| 1995 specified in the new type will be inherited from ancestors. Probably | |
| 1996 the only type without a class should be the @code{default} type. The | |
| 1997 cdr of a type is a plist whose keys are widget property keywords. | |
| 1998 | |
| 1999 A type or type name may also be referred to as an @dfn{unconverted | |
| 2000 widget}. | |
| 2001 | |
| 2002 A @dfn{converted widget} or @dfn{widget instance} is a list whose car is | |
| 2003 a type name or a type, and whose cdr is a property list. Furthermore, | |
| 2004 all children of the converted widget must be converted. Finally, in the | |
| 2005 process of appropriate parts of the list structure are copied to ensure | |
| 2006 that changes in values of one instance do not affect another's. | |
| 2007 | |
