NAMEXmDropDown — The DropDown widget class
SYNOPSIS#include <Xm/DropDown​.h>
DESCRIPTIONThe DropDown widget allows the user to select elements from a list of choices, and enter their own values in a text widget. To conserve screen space, the list of choices is shown only when the user selects the down arrow button. The choices may then be selected from this list. If the list widget is in Browse Select mode (the default) or Single Select mode, then the list will automatically be removed when the user selects an item in the list. When the list is in other modes, multiple items may be selected and the list may be popped down by either another click on the arrow button, a click outside the list or double-clicking an item. When using keyboard traversal, the list may be popped down by selecting the arrow button or Alt - down arrow, and popped back up by typing either the osfActivate key, a carriage return, or Alt - up arrow. In any case, when the list is removed the item or items that were selected will be placed in the text widget separated by commas. Typing the escape key when the list is up, cancels the list popup, restoring the DropDown widget to the state it was in before the list was popped up. If the text field area is non-editable, clicking anywhere in the text field the list will also pop down. Resources are available to change the margin sizes, the location of the left edge of the popup list, whether or not the label is shown, whether the text field widget may be edited, and whether or not the text in the list is verified against the choices available in the list. By setting resources that occur in the children of the DropDown widget, the contents of the list, the number of items visible in the list, the initial value of the text field, and the value of the label may be set or changed dynamically. If a developer wishes the popup list's shell to be resizable, they should set the allowShellResize to True at creation time.
ClassesXmDropDown inherits behavior, resources, and traits from Core, Composite, and XmManager classes​. The class pointer is xmDropDownWidgetClass​. The class name is XmDropDown​.
New ResourcesThe following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify data​. The programmer can also set the resource values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget​. To reference a resource by name or by class in a ​.Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters​. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a ​.Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between words)​. The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A)​.

This resource can be used, as the name implies, to create a custom combination box that has something other than a list in it. If this resource is true then a shell must be provided to the DropDown widget via the popupShellWidget resource. Just before the shell is popped up the updateShellCallback is called. Just after the shell is popped down the updateTextCallback is called. If verify is true then the verifyTextCallback is called when the combo box needs to verify the contents of the text widget against the allowable values in the custom shell. XmNeditable This boolean value determines whether the user is allowed to type into TextField widget of the DropDown widget. If this value is False, selecting the text field will popup the combo box list XmNhorizontalMargin Specifies the horizontal spacing between the child widgets and the boundary of the DropDown widget​. XmNverticalMargin Specifies the vertical spacing between the child widgets and the boundary of the DropDown widget​. XmNitemCount The number of items in the popup list. XmNitems The list of all choice that will be displayed in the popup list. XmNlabelString The string displayed as the label of the DropDown widget. XmNpopupCursor The cursor to display to the user when the DropDown's list is popped up. See X Window System, Robert Scheiffler et al., Appendix B, for choices. XmNpopupOffset The amount of space in pixels between the left edge of the Text widget and the left edge of the list when the list is displayed. Positive values mean the text's left edge is farther to the left, negative values mean the list's edge is farther to the left. If this is a non-custom DropDown widget the right edge of the text and the right edge of the arrow button will always line up. XmNpopupShellWidget The widget identifier for the shell that is popped up when the arrow is clicked. If customizedCombinationBox is False then this widget is automatically created by the DropDown widget. XmNshowLabel A boolean value that specifies whether or not to display the DropDown Label widget. XmNupdateShellCallback XmNupdateTextCallback The callback routine to call when either the shell widget contents or the Text widget need to be updated to correspond with the other. The shell is updated just before it is popped up. The text is updated just after the shell is popped down. If customizedComboBox is False then the updates are done automatically by the combo box. These routines are called to inform the application that an action has been taken, in case it would like to do any further processing. XmNuseTextField A boolean value that specifies if an XmTextField or an XmText widget should be used for the text entry portion of the DropDown widget. XmNvalue The string displayed in the Text widget. XmNverify If this resource is true the DropDown widget will verify its value against the list whenever it loses focus or the user types <Carriage Return>. If the verification fails, an XtWarning is generated with a name of XmNtextVerifyFailed. To trap this message register an XtWarningMsgHandler. XmNverifyTextCallback This routine is called whenever the Text widget's contents may need to be verified against the popup shell's contents. If the customizedComboBox resource is False then the DropDown widget has already performed the verification when this routine is called. XmNvisibleItemCount The number of items visible in the popup list at one time.
ChildrenThe DropDown is composed of many sub-widgets. Most of the information displayed to the user is set through these sub widgets. Most values passed to this widget through the argument list at creation time or via set values are passed to each of this widget's children. Get values requests must be made on a child by child basis. The children of the DropDown are listed below. The OSF/Motifdocumentation should be consulted for an exhaustive set of resources for each child. A partial list of the most common resources are listed here for convenience. .df XmDropDowncomboBox XmLabellabel XmTextFieldtext XmArrowButtonarrow OverrideShellpopupShell XmScrolledWindowlistSW XmScrollBarListvScrollBar XmScrollBarListhScrollBar XmListlist .fi The popup shell and its children are only created when customizedCombinationBox is False.
Inherited ResourcesXmDropDown inherits behavior and resources from the superclasses described in the following tables​. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the reference page for that superclass​.

Callback InformationNone of the DropDown's callback procedures have any call data currently defined for them. The widget passed to each of these functions is the DropDown widget. void (Callback)(Widget cbw, XtPointer client_data, XtPointer unused) cbwThis is the widget identifier of the DropDown widget. client_dataThe client data passed to this widget by the application programmer. unusedThis value is undefined.
Geometry ManagementThe DropDown widget lays out its children (the label, text and arrow) in a row. The amount of space they are each allocated when the DropDown is not allowed to be the exact size it desires is determined using the following rules: 1.The arrow is always given its requested size. 2.If the combo box is bigger than it wants to be all extra space is given to the text widget. 3.If the combo box is smaller that is wants to be then the text and label widgets are each sized smaller than they desire in exactly the same ratio. For example: If the amount of space for the label and text is 100 pixels and the label wants to be 50 pixels wide and the text would like to be 100 pixels wide then the label will get 34 pixels and the text 66. The popup shell widget is sized such that the width of the scrolled list widget equals the width of the text widget minus the value of the "popupOffset" resource. If the popup shell resides in a customized combination box, however, it is allowed to be whatever size the child of the popup shell would like to be.
