Chapter 12 \(em Nonwidget Objects
.XE
.LP
Although widget writers are free to treat
Core
as the base class of
the widget hierarchy, there are actually three classes above it.
These classes are
Object,
RectObj
(Rectangle Object), and (\fIunnamed\fP),
and members of these classes
are referred to generically as \fIobjects\fP.  By convention, the term
\fIwidget\fP refers only to objects that are a subclass of
Core,
and the term \fInonwidget\fP refers to objects that are not a subclass of
Core.
In the preceding portion of this specification, the interface
descriptions indicate explicitly whether the generic \fIwidget\fP argument
is restricted to particular subclasses of Object.  Sections 12.2.5,
12.3.5, and 12.5 summarize the permissible classes of the arguments to, and
return values from, each of the \*(xI routines.

.NH 2
Data Structures
.XS
\*(SN Data Structures
.XE
.LP
In order not to conflict with previous widget code, the data
structures used by nonwidget objects do not follow all the same
conventions as those for widgets.  In particular, the class records
are not composed of parts but instead are complete data structures
with filler for the widget fields they do not use.  This
allows the static class initializers for existing widgets to remain
unchanged.

.NH 2
Object Objects
.XS
\fB\*(SN Object Objects\fP
.XE
.LP
.IN "Object" "" "@DEF@"
The
Object
object contains the definitions of fields common to all
objects.  It encapsulates the mechanisms for resource management.
All objects and widgets are members of subclasses of
Object,
which is defined by the
.PN ObjectClassPart
and
.PN ObjectPart
structures.

.NH 3
ObjectClassPart Structure
.XS
\*(SN ObjectClassPart Structure
.XE
.LP
The common fields for all object classes are defined in the
.PN ObjectClassPart
structure.  All fields have the same purpose,
function, and restrictions as the corresponding fields in
.PN CoreClassPart ;
fields whose
names are obj\fI\s+1n\s-1\fP for some integer \s+1\fIn\fP\s-1 are not
used for Object,
but exist to pad the data structure so that it matches Core's class
record.  The class record initialization must fill all
obj\fI\s+1n\s-1\fP fields with NULL or zero as appropriate to the type.

Use of Rectangle Objects
.XS
\*(SN Use of Rectangle Objects
.XE
.LP
RectObj
can be subclassed to provide widgetlike objects (sometimes
called gadgets) that do not use windows and do not have those
features that are seldom used in simple widgets.  This can save memory
resources both in the server and in applications
but requires additional support code in the parent.
In the following
discussion, \fIrectobj\fP refers only to objects
whose class is RectObj or a subclass of
RectObj,
but not Core or a subclass of
Core. 
.LP
Composite
widget classes that wish to accept rectobj children must set
the \fIaccepts_objects\fP field in the
.PN CompositeClassExtension
extension structure to
.PN True .
.PN XtCreateWidget
or
.PN XtCreateManagedWidget
will otherwise generate an error if called to create a nonwidget child.
If the composite widget supports only children of class
RectObj
or a subclass (i.e., not of the general Object class), it
must declare an insert_child procedure and check the subclass of each
new child in that procedure.  None of the classes defined by the
\*(xI accept rectobj children.
.LP
If gadgets are defined in an object set, the parent is responsible for
much more than the parent of a widget.  The parent must request and handle
input events that occur for the gadget and is responsible for making
sure that when it receives an exposure event the gadget children get
drawn correctly.
Rectobj children may
have expose procedures
specified in their class records, but the parent is free to
ignore them, instead drawing the contents of the child itself.  This
can potentially save graphics context switching.  The precise contents
of the exposure event and region arguments to the RectObj expose
procedure are not specified by the \*(xI; a particular rectangle object is
free to define the coordinate system origin (self-relative or
parent-relative) and whether or not the rectangle or region is assumed to
have been intersected with the visible region of the object.
.LP
In general, it is expected that a composite widget that accepts
nonwidget children will document those children it is able to handle,
since a gadget cannot be viewed as a completely self-contained entity,
as can a widget.  Since a particular composite widget class is usually
designed to handle nonwidget children of only a limited set of classes, it should
check the classes of newly added children in its insert_child
procedure to make sure that it can deal with them.
.LP
The \*(xI will clear areas of a parent window obscured by
rectobj children, causing exposure events, under the following
circumstances:
.IP \(bu 5
A rectobj child is managed or unmanaged.
.IP \(bu 5
In a call to
.PN XtSetValues
on a rectobj child, one or more of the set_values procedures returns
.PN True .
.IP \(bu 5
In a call to
.PN XtConfigureWidget
on a rectobj child, areas will
be cleared corresponding to both the old and the new child
geometries, including the border, if the geometry changes.
.IP \(bu 5
In a call to
.PN XtMoveWidget
on a rectobj child, areas will be
cleared corresponding to both the old and the new child
geometries, including the border, if the geometry changes.
.IP \(bu 5
In a call to
.PN XtResizeWidget
on a rectobj child, a single
rectangle will be cleared corresponding to the larger of the
old and the new child geometries if they are different.
.IP \(bu 5
In a call to
.PN XtMakeGeometryRequest
(or
.PN XtMakeResizeRequest )
on a rectobj child with
.PN XtQueryOnly
not set, if the manager returns
.PN XtGeometryYes ,
two rectangles will be cleared corresponding to both the old and
the new child geometries.
.LP
Stacking order is not supported for rectobj children.  Composite widgets with
rectobj children are free to define any semantics desired if the child
geometries overlap, including making this an error.
.LP
When a rectobj is playing the role of a widget, developers must be
reminded to avoid making assumptions about the object passed in the
Widget argument to a callback procedure.
