|
34
|
|
|
35 Most graphical user interface toolkits, such as Motif and XView, provide
|
|
|
36 a number of standard user interface controls (sometimes known as
|
|
|
37 `widgets' or `gadgets'). Emacs doesn't really support anything like
|
|
|
38 this, except for an incredible powerful text ``widget''. On the other
|
|
|
39 hand, Emacs does provide the necessary primitives to implement many
|
|
|
40 other widgets within a text buffer. The @code{widget} package
|
|
|
41 simplifies this task.
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 The basic widgets are:
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 @table @code
|
|
|
46 @item link
|
|
|
47 Areas of text with an associated action. Intended for hypertext links
|
|
|
48 embedded in text.
|
|
|
49 @item push-button
|
|
|
50 Like link, but intended for stand-alone buttons.
|
|
|
51 @item editable-field
|
|
|
52 An editable text field. It can be either variable or fixed length.
|
|
|
53 @item menu-choice
|
|
|
54 Allows the user to choose one of multiple options from a menu, each
|
|
|
55 option is itself a widget. Only the selected option will be visible in
|
|
|
56 the buffer.
|
|
|
57 @item radio-button-choice
|
|
153
|
58 Allows the user to choose one of multiple options by activating radio
|
|
98
|
59 buttons. The options are implemented as widgets. All options will be
|
|
|
60 visible in the buffer.
|
|
|
61 @item item
|
|
|
62 A simple constant widget intended to be used in the @code{menu-choice} and
|
|
|
63 @code{radio-button-choice} widgets.
|
|
|
64 @item choice-item
|
|
155
|
65 An button item only intended for use in choices. When invoked, the user
|
|
98
|
66 will be asked to select another option from the choice widget.
|
|
|
67 @item toggle
|
|
|
68 A simple @samp{on}/@samp{off} switch.
|
|
|
69 @item checkbox
|
|
|
70 A checkbox (@samp{[ ]}/@samp{[X]}).
|
|
|
71 @item editable-list
|
|
|
72 Create an editable list. The user can insert or delete items in the
|
|
|
73 list. Each list item is itself a widget.
|
|
|
74 @end table
|
|
|
75
|
|
|
76 Now of what possible use can support for widgets be in a text editor?
|
|
|
77 I'm glad you asked. The answer is that widgets are useful for
|
|
|
78 implementing forms. A @dfn{form} in emacs is a buffer where the user is
|
|
|
79 supposed to fill out a number of fields, each of which has a specific
|
|
|
80 meaning. The user is not supposed to change or delete any of the text
|
|
|
81 between the fields. Examples of forms in Emacs are the @file{forms}
|
|
|
82 package (of course), the customize buffers, the mail and news compose
|
|
|
83 modes, and the @sc{html} form support in the @file{w3} browser.
|
|
|
84
|
|
|
85 The advantages for a programmer of using the @code{widget} package to
|
|
|
86 implement forms are:
|
|
|
87
|
|
|
88 @enumerate
|
|
|
89 @item
|
|
|
90 More complex field than just editable text are supported.
|
|
|
91 @item
|
|
|
92 You can give the user immediate feedback if he enters invalid data in a
|
|
|
93 text field, and sometimes prevent entering invalid data.
|
|
|
94 @item
|
|
|
95 You can have fixed sized fields, thus allowing multiple field to be
|
|
|
96 lined up in columns.
|
|
|
97 @item
|
|
|
98 It is simple to query or set the value of a field.
|
|
|
99 @item
|
|
|
100 Editing happens in buffer, not in the mini-buffer.
|
|
|
101 @item
|
|
|
102 Packages using the library get a uniform look, making them easier for
|
|
|
103 the user to learn.
|
|
|
104 @item
|
|
|
105 As support for embedded graphics improve, the widget library will
|
|
|
106 extended to support it. This means that your code using the widget
|
|
|
107 library will also use the new graphic features by automatic.
|
|
|
108 @end enumerate
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
110 In order to minimize the code that is loaded by users who does not
|
|
|
111 create any widgets, the code has been split in two files:
|
|
|
112
|
|
|
113 @table @file
|
|
|
114 @item widget.el
|
|
|
115 This will declare the user variables, define the function
|
|
|
116 @code{widget-define}, and autoload the function @code{widget-create}.
|
|
106
|
117 @item wid-edit.el
|
|
98
|
118 Everything else is here, there is no reason to load it explicitly, as
|
|
|
119 it will be autoloaded when needed.

126 A form consist of read only text for documentation and some fields,
|
|
|
127 where each the fields contain two parts, as tag and a value. The tags
|
|
|
128 are used to identify the fields, so the documentation can refer to the
|
|
|
129 foo field, meaning the field tagged with @samp{Foo}. Here is an example
|
|
|
130 form:
|
|
|
131
|
|
|
132 @example
|

161 @end example
|

162
|

163 The top level widgets in is example are tagged @samp{Name},
|
|
|
164 @samp{Choose}, @samp{Address}, @samp{_other work_}, @samp{Numbers},
|
|
|
165 @samp{Select multiple}, @samp{Select one}, @samp{[Apply Form]}, and
|
|
|
166 @samp{[Reset Form]}. There are basically two thing the user can do within
|
|
|
167 a form, namely editing the editable text fields and activating the
|
|
|
168 buttons.
|
|
|
169
|
|
|
170 @subsection Editable Text Fields
|
|
|
171
|
|
|
172 In the example, the value for the @samp{Name} is most likely displayed
|
|
|
173 in an editable text field, and so are values for each of the members of
|
|
|
174 the @samp{Numbers} list. All the normal Emacs editing operations are
|
|
|
175 available for editing these fields. The only restriction is that each
|
|
|
176 change you make must be contained within a single editable text field.
|
|
|
177 For example, capitalizing all text from the middle of one field to the
|
|
|
178 middle of another field is prohibited.
|
|
|
179
|
|
|
180 Editing text fields are created by the @code{editable-field} widget.
|
|
|
181
|
|
|
182 The editing text fields are highlighted with the
|
|
|
183 @code{widget-field-face} face, making them easy to find.
|
|
|
184
|
|
|
185 @deffn Face widget-field-face
|
|
|
186 Face used for other editing fields.

189 @subsection Buttons
|
|
|
190
|
|
|
191 Some portions of the buffer have an associated @dfn{action}, which can
|
|
155
|
192 be @dfn{invoked} by a standard key or mouse command. These portions
|
|
98
|
193 are called @dfn{buttons}. The default commands for activating a button
|
|
|
194 are:
|
|
|
195
|
|
|
196 @table @kbd
|
|
|
197 @item @key{RET}
|
|
|
198 @deffn Command widget-button-press @var{pos} &optional @var{event}
|
|
155
|
199 Invoke the button at @var{pos}, defaulting to point.
|
|
|
200 If point is not located on a button, invoke the binding in
|
|
98
|
201 @code{widget-global-map} (by default the global map).
|
|
|
202 @end deffn
|
|
|
203
|
|
|
204 @item mouse-2
|
|
|
205 @deffn Command widget-button-click @var{event}
|
|
155
|
206 Invoke the button at the location of the mouse pointer. If the mouse
|
|
|
207 pointer is located in an editable text field, invoke the binding in
|
|
98
|
208 @code{widget-global-map} (by default the global map).
|
|
|
209 @end deffn
|
|
|
210 @end table
|
|
|
211
|
|
|
212 There are several different kind of buttons, all of which are present in
|
|
|
213 the example:
|
|
|
214
|
|
|
215 @table @emph
|
|
|
216 @item The Option Field Tags.
|
|
155
|
217 When you invoke one of these buttons, you will be asked to choose
|
|
98
|
218 between a number of different options. This is how you edit an option
|
|
|
219 field. Option fields are created by the @code{menu-choice} widget. In
|
|
|
220 the example, @samp{@b{Choose}} is an option field tag.
|
|
|
221 @item The @samp{@b{[INS]}} and @samp{@b{[DEL]}} buttons.
|
|
|
222 Activating these will insert or delete elements from a editable list.
|
|
|
223 The list is created by the @code{editable-list} widget.
|
|
|
224 @item Embedded Buttons.
|
|
|
225 The @samp{@b{_other work_}} is an example of an embedded
|
|
|
226 button. Embedded buttons are not associated with a fields, but can serve
|
|
|
227 any purpose, such as implementing hypertext references. They are
|
|
|
228 usually created by the @code{link} widget.
|
|
|
229 @item The @samp{@b{[ ]}} and @samp{@b{[X]}} buttons.
|
|
|
230 Activating one of these will convert it to the other. This is useful
|
|
|
231 for implementing multiple-choice fields. You can create it wit
|
|
|
232 @item The @samp{@b{( )}} and @samp{@b{(*)}} buttons.
|
|
149
|
233 Only one radio button in a @code{radio-button-choice} widget can be
|
|
155
|
234 selected at any time. When you invoke one of the unselected radio
|
|
149
|
235 buttons, it will be selected and the previous selected radio button will
|
|
|
236 become unselected.
|
|
98
|
237 @item The @samp{@b{[Apply Form]}} @samp{@b{[Reset Form]}} buttons.
|
|
|
238 These are explicit buttons made with the @code{push-button} widget. The main
|
|
|
239 difference from the @code{link} widget is that the buttons are will be
|
|
|
240 displayed as GUI buttons when possible.
|
|
|
241 enough.
|
|
|
242 @end table
|
|
|
243
|
|
|
244 To make them easier to locate, buttons are emphasized in the buffer.

366 Widgets are created with @code{widget-create}, which returns a
|
|
|
367 @dfn{widget} object. This object can be queried and manipulated by
|
|
|
368 other widget functions, until it is deleted with @code{widget-delete}.
|
|
|
369 After the widgets have been created, @code{widget-setup} must be called

370 to enable them.
|

426 Where, @var{name} is a widget name, @var{keyword} is the name of a

|
|
427 property, @var{argument} is the value of the property, and @var{args}
|
|
|
428 are interpreted in a widget specific way.
|
|

|
|
|
431
|
|
|
432 @table @code
|
|

433 @item :value
|
|
|
434 The initial value for widgets of this type.
|
|
|
435
|
|
|
436 @item :format
|
|
|
437 This string will be inserted in the buffer when you create a widget.
|
|
|
438 The following @samp{%} escapes are available:
|
|
|
439
|
|
|
440 @table @samp
|
|
|
441 @item %[
|

153
|
445 By default, the text will be shown in @code{widget-button-face}, and

469 Like @samp{%d}, with the following modifications: If the documentation
|
|
|
470 string is more than one line, it will add a button which will toggle
|
|
|
471 between showing only the first line, and showing the full text.
|
|
|
472 Furthermore, if there is no @code{:doc} property in the widget, it will
|
|
|
473 instead examine the @code{:documentation-property} property. If it is a
|
|
|
474 lambda expression, it will be called with the widget's value as an

475 argument, and the result will be used as the documentation text.
|

477 @item %t
|
|
|
478 Insert the string specified by @code{:tag} here, or the @code{princ}

1051 The @code{const} widget can contain any lisp expression, but the user is

98

1052 prohibited from editing edit it, which is mainly useful as a component

1053 of one of the composite widgets.

1055 The syntax for the @code{const} widget is

|
1071 symbol with a variable or function binding. The major difference from
|
|
|
1072 the @code{const} widget is that they will allow the user to see the

1073 variable or function documentation for the symbol.
|

1108 The atoms are s-expressions that does not consist of other

1109 s-expressions. A string is an atom, while a list is a composite type.
|
|
|
1110 You can edit the value of an atom with the following widgets.

1117

1118 The @var{value}, if present, is used to initialize the @code{:value}
|

1119 property and must be an expression of the same type as the widget.
|
|
|
1120 I.e. the string widget can only be initialized with a string.
|

1185 The syntax for the composite are
|
|
|
1186
|
|
|
1187 @example
|
|
|
1188 TYPE ::= (NAME [KEYWORD ARGUMENT]... COMPONENT...)
|
|
|
1189 @end example
|
|
|
1190
|
|
|
1191 Where each @var{component} must be a widget type. Each component widget
|
|
|
1192 will be displayed in the buffer, and be editable to the user.
|
|
|
1193
|
|
|
1194 @deffn Widget cons
|
|
|
1195 The value of a @code{cons} widget is a cons-cell where the car is the
|
|
|
1196 value of the first component and the cdr is the value of the second
|
|
|
1197 component. There must be exactly two components.
|
|

1198 @end deffn

|
1199

|
1200 @deffn Widget list
|
|
|
1201 The value of a @code{list} widget is a list containing the value of
|
|
98
|
1202 each of its component.
|
|
|
1203 @end deffn
|
|
|
1204
|
|
|
1205 @deffn Widget vector
|
|
|
1206 The value of a @code{vector} widget is a vector containing the value of
|
|
|
1207 each of its component.
|
|
|
1208 @end deffn
|
|
|
1209
|
|
|
1210 The above suffice for specifying fixed size lists and vectors. To get
|
|
|
1211 variable length lists and vectors, you can use a @code{choice},
|
|
|
1212 @code{set} or @code{repeat} widgets together with the @code{:inline}
|
|
|
1213 keywords. If any component of a composite widget has the @code{:inline}
|
|
|
1214 keyword set, its value must be a list which will then be spliced into
|
|
|
1215 the composite. For example, to specify a list whose first element must
|
|
|
1216 be a file name, and whose remaining arguments should either by the
|
|
|
1217 symbol @code{t} or two files, you can use the following widget
|
|
|
1218 specification:
|
|
|
1219
|
|
|
1220 @example
|
|
|
1221 (list file
|
|
|
1222 (choice (const t)
|
|
|
1223 (list :inline t
|
|
|
1224 :value ("foo" "bar")
|
|
|
1225 string string)))
|
|
|
1226 @end example
|
|
|
1227
|
|
|
1228 The value of a widget of this type will either have the form
|
|
|
1229 @samp{(file t)} or @code{(file string string)}.
|
|
|
1230
|
|
|
1231 This concept of inline is probably hard to understand. It was certainly
|
|
|
1232 hard to implement so instead of confuse you more by trying to explain it
|
|
|
1233 here, I'll just suggest you meditate over it for a while.
|
|
|
1234
|
|
|
1235 @deffn Widget choice
|
|
|
1236 Allows you to edit a sexp which may have one of fixed set of types. It
|
|
|
1237 is currently implemented with the @code{choice-menu} basic widget, and
|
|
|
1238 has a similar syntax.

1239 @end deffn
|
|

1240
|

1241 @deffn Widget set
|
|

1242 Allows you to specify a type which must be a list whose elements all
|
|
|
1243 belong to given set. The elements of the list is not significant. This
|
|
|
1244 is implemented on top of the @code{checklist} basic widget, and has a
|
|
|
1245 similar syntax.

1248 @deffn Widget repeat
|

1249 Allows you to specify a variable length list whose members are all of
|
|
|
1250 the same type. Implemented on top of the `editable-list' basic widget,
|
|

1260
|

1261 @defun widget-value widget
|

|
1271 @strong{Important:} You @emph{must} call @code{widget-setup} after
|
|
|
1272 modifying the value of a widget before the user is allowed to edit the
|
|
|
1273 widget again. It is enough to call @code{widget-setup} once if you
|
|
|
1274 modify multiple widgets. This is currently only necessary if the widget
|
|
|
1275 contains an editing field, but may be necessary for other widgets in the
|
|
|
1276 future.
|
|
|
1277
|
|
|
1278 If your application needs to associate some information with the widget
|
|
|
1279 objects, for example a reference to the item being edited, it can be
|
|
|
1280 done with @code{widget-put} and @code{widget-get}. The property names
|
|
|
1281 must begin with a @samp{:}.
|
|
|
1282
|
|
|
1283 @defun widget-put widget property value
|
|
|
1284 In @var{widget} set @var{property} to @var{value}.
|
|
|
1285 @var{property} should be a symbol, while @var{value} can be anything.
|
|

1289 In @var{widget} return the value for @var{property}.
|
|
|
1290 @var{property} should be a symbol, the value is what was last set by

1297
|
|
|
1298 Occasionally it can be useful to know which kind of widget you have,
|
|
|
1299 i.e. the name of the widget type you gave when the widget was created.
|
|
|
1300
|
|
|
1301 @defun widget-type widget
|
|
|
1302 Return the name of @var{widget}, a symbol.

|
1305 Widgets can be in two states: active, which means they are modifiable by
|
|
|
1306 the user, or inactive, which means they cannot be modified by the user.
|
|
|
1307 You can query or set the state with the following code:
|
|
|
1308
|
|
|
1309 @lisp
|
|
|
1310 ;; Examine if @var{widget} is active or not.
|
|
|
1311 (if (widget-apply @var{widget} :active)
|
|
|
1312 (message "Widget is active.")
|
|
|
1313 (message "Widget is inactive.")
|
|
|
1314
|
|
|
1315 ;; Make @var{widget} inactive.
|
|
|
1316 (widget-apply @var{widget} :deactivate)
|
|
|
1317
|
|
|
1318 ;; Make @var{widget} active.
|
|
|
1319 (widget-apply @var{widget} :activate)
|
|
|
1320 @end lisp
|
|
|
1321
|
|
|
1322 A widget is inactive if itself, or any of its ancestors (found by
|
|
|
1323 following the @code{:parent} link) have been deactivated. To make sure
|
|
|
1324 a widget is really active, you must therefore activate both itself, and
|
|
|
1325 all its ancestors.
|
|
|
1326
|
|
|
1327 @lisp
|
|
|
1328 (while widget
|
|
|
1329 (widget-apply widget :activate)

1330 (setq widget (widget-get widget :parent)))
|
|
|
1331 @end lisp
|
|
|
1332
|
|
|
1333 You can check if a widget has been made inactive by examining the value
|
|
|
1334 of @code{:inactive} keyword. If this is non-nil, the widget itself has
|
|
|
1335 been deactivated. This is different from using the @code{:active}
|
|
|
1336 keyword, in that the later tell you if the widget @strong{or} any of its
|
|
|
1337 ancestors have been deactivated. Do not attempt to set the
|
|
|
1338 @code{:inactive} keyword directly. Use the @code{:activate}
|
|
|
1339 @code{:deactivated} keywords instead.

1344 @section Defining New Widgets
|
|
|
1345
|
|
|
1346 You can define specialized widgets with @code{define-widget}. It allows
|
|
|
1347 you to create a shorthand for more complex widgets, including specifying
|
|
|
1348 component widgets and default new default values for the keyword
|
|
|
1349 arguments.
|
|
|
1350
|
|
|
1351 @defun widget-define name class doc &rest args
|
|
|
1352 Define a new widget type named @var{name} from @code{class}.
|
|
|
1353
|
|
|
1354 @var{name} and class should both be symbols, @code{class} should be one
|
|
|
1355 of the existing widget types.
|
|
|
1356
|
|
|
1357 The third argument @var{DOC} is a documentation string for the widget.
|
|
|
1358
|
|
|
1359 After the new widget has been defined, the following two calls will
|
|
|
1360 create identical widgets:
|
|
|
1361
|
|
|
1362 @itemize @bullet
|
|
|
1363 @item
|
|
|
1364 @lisp

|
|
|
1374 @end defun
|
|

1375
|
|
|
1376 Using @code{widget-define} does just store the definition of the widget
|
|
|
1377 type in the @code{widget-type} property of @var{name}, which is what
|
|
|
1378 @code{widget-create} uses.
|
|
|
1379
|
|
|
1380 If you just want to specify defaults for keywords with no complex
|
|
|
1381 conversions, you can use @code{identity} as your conversion function.
|
|
|
1382
|
|
|
1383 The following additional keyword arguments are useful when defining new
|
|
|
1384 widgets:
|
|
|
1385 @table @code
|
|
|
1386 @item :convert-widget
|
|
|
1387 Function to convert a widget type before creating a widget of that
|
|
|
1388 type. It takes a widget type as an argument, and returns the converted
|
|
|
1389 widget type. When a widget is created, this function is called for the
|
|
|
1390 widget type and all the widgets parent types, most derived first.
|
|
|
1391
|
|
149
|
1392 The following predefined functions can be used here:
|
|
|
1393
|
|
|
1394 @defun widget-types-convert-widget widget

98
|
1402 @item :value-to-internal
|
|
|
1403 Function to convert the value to the internal format. The function
|
|
|
1404 takes two arguments, a widget and an external value, and returns the
|
|
|
1405 internal value. The function is called on the present @code{:value}
|
|
|
1406 when the widget is created, and on any value set later with
|
|
|
1407 @code{widget-value-set}.
|
|
|
1408
|
|
|
1409 @item :value-to-external
|
|
|
1410 Function to convert the value to the external format. The function
|
|
|
1411 takes two arguments, a widget and an internal value, and returns the
|
|
|
1412 internal value. The function is called on the present @code{:value}
|

|
|
|
1415
|
|
|
1416 @item :create
|
|
|
1417 Function to create a widget from scratch. The function takes one
|
|
|
1418 argument, a widget type, and create a widget of that type, insert it in
|
|
|
1419 the buffer, and return a widget object.
|
|
|
1420
|
|
|
1421 @item :delete
|

|
1423 and should remove all traces of the widget from the buffer.
|
|
|
1424
|
|
|
1425 @item :value-create

1475 @var{unbound} and should return a value for widget entered by the user.
|
|
|
1476 @var{prompt} is the prompt to use. @var{value} is the default value to
|
|
|
1477 use, unless @var{unbound} is non-nil in which case there are no default
|
|
|
1478 value. The function should read the value using the method most natural
|
|
|
1479 for this widget, and does not have to check that it matches.
