Chapter 4 \(em Shell Widgets

.IN "Shell" "" "@DEF@"
.LP
Shell widgets hold an application's top-level widgets to allow them to
communicate with the window manager and session manager.
Shells have been designed to be as nearly invisible as possible.
Clients have to create them,
but they should never have to worry about their sizes.
.LP
If a shell widget is resized from the outside (typically by a window manager),
the shell widget also resizes its managed child widget automatically.
Similarly, if the shell's child widget needs to change size,
it can make a geometry request to the shell,
and the shell negotiates the size change with the outer environment.
Clients should never attempt to change the size of their shells directly.
.LP
The five types of public shells are:
.TS
lw(1.5i) lw(4.25i).
T{
.PN OverrideShell
T} T{
Used for shell windows that completely bypass the window manager
(for example, pop-up menu shells).
T}
.sp
T{
.PN TransientShell
T} T{
Used for shell windows that have the
.PN \s-1WM_TRANSIENT_FOR\s+1
property set. The effect of this property is dependent upon the
window manager being used.
T}
.sp
T{
.PN TopLevelShell
T} T{
Used for normal top-level windows
(for example, any additional top-level widgets an application needs).
T}
.sp
T{
.PN ApplicationShell
T} T{
Formerly used for the single main top-level window that
the window manager identifies as an application instance and
made obsolete by SessionShell.
T}
.IN "ApplicationShell" "" "@DEF@"
.sp
T{
.PN SessionShell
T} T{
Used for the single main top-level window that
the window manager identifies as an application instance and
that interacts with the session manager.

Widgets negotiate their size and position with their parent widget,
that is, the widget that directly contains them.
Widgets at the top of the hierarchy do not have parent widgets.
Instead, they must deal with the outside world.
To provide for this,
each top-level widget is encapsulated in a special widget, called a
shell widget.
.LP
Shell
widgets, whose class is a subclass of the
Composite class,
encapsulate other widgets and can allow a widget to avoid the
geometry clipping imposed by the parent-child window relationship.
They also can provide a layer of communication with the window manager.
.LP
The eight different types of shells are:
.TS
lw(1.5i) lw(4.5i).
T{
.PN Shell
T} T{
The base class for shell widgets; provides the
fields needed for all types of shells.

is a direct subclass of

T{
.PN OverrideShell

A subclass of Shell; used for shell windows that completely
bypass the window manager.

T{
.PN WMShell
T} T{
A subclass of Shell; contains fields needed by the
common window manager protocol.
T}
.sp 6p
T{
.PN VendorShell
T} T{
A subclass of WMShell; contains fields used by
vendor-specific window managers.
T}
.sp 6p
T{
.PN TransientShell

A subclass of VendorShell; used for shell windows that
desire the
.PN \s-1WM_TRANSIENT_FOR\s+1
property.

T{
.PN TopLevelShell
T} T{
A subclass of VendorShell; used for normal top-level windows.

A subclass of TopLevelShell; may be used for an application's additional
root windows.

The declarations for all Intrinsics-defined shells except

VendorShell has separate public and private .h files which are included by
.PN Shell.h

.PN Shell.h

.IN "XtShellExtensionVersion" "" "@DEF@"
.LP
.IN "Shell" "root_geometry_manager"
.IN "root_geometry_manager procedure"
The root_geometry_manager procedure acts as
the parent geometry manager for geometry requests made by shell
widgets. When a shell widget calls either
.PN XtMakeGeometryRequest
or
.PN XtMakeResizeRequest ,
the root_geometry_manager procedure is invoked to
negotiate the new geometry with the window manager. If the window
manager permits the new geometry, the root_geometry_manager
procedure should
return
.PN XtGeometryYes ;
if the window manager denies the geometry
request or does not change the window geometry within some timeout
interval (equal to \fIwm_timeout\fP in the case of WMShells), the
.IN "Shell" "wm_timeout" "@DEF@"
.IN "wm_timeout" "" "@DEF@"
root_geometry_manager procedure should return
.PN XtGeometryNo .
If the window manager makes some alternative geometry change, the
root_geometry_manager procedure may return either
.PN XtGeometryNo
and handle the new geometry as a resize or
.PN XtGeometryAlmost
in anticipation that the shell will accept the compromise. If the
compromise is not accepted, the new size must then be handled as a
resize. Subclasses of
Shell
that wish to provide their own
root_geometry_manager procedures are strongly encouraged to use enveloping to
invoke their superclass's root_geometry_manager procedure under most
situations, as the window manager interaction may be very complex.
.LP
If no
.PN ShellClassPart
extension record is declared with \fIrecord_type\fP
equal to
.PN \s-1NULLQUARK\s+1 ,
then
.PN XtInheritRootGeometryManager
is assumed.

The \fIgeometry\fP field specifies the size and position
and is usually given only on a command line or in a defaults file.
If the \fIgeometry\fP field is non-NULL when
a widget of class WMShell
is realized, the geometry specification is parsed using
.PN XWMGeometry
with a default geometry
string constructed from the values of \fIx\fP, \fIy\fP, \fIwidth\fP,
\fIheight\fP, \fIwidth_inc\fP,
and \fIheight_inc\fP and the size and position flags in the window manager
size hints are set. If the geometry specifies an x or y position,
then
.PN USPosition
is set. If the geometry specifies a width or height, then
.PN USSize
is set. Any fields in the geometry specification
override the corresponding values in the
Core \fIx\fP, \fIy\fP, \fIwidth\fP, and \fIheight\fP fields.
If \fIgeometry\fP is NULL or contains only a partial specification, then the
Core \fIx\fP, \fIy\fP, \fIwidth\fP, and \fIheight\fP fields are used and
.PN PPosition
and
.PN PSize
are set as appropriate.
The geometry string is not copied by any of the \*(xI
Shell classes; a client specifying the string in an arglist
or varargs list must ensure
that the value remains valid until the shell widget is realized.
For further information on the geometry string, see Section 16.4
in \fI\*(xL\fP.

The \fIcreate_popup_child_proc\fP procedure is called by the
.PN XtPopup

The \fIgrab_kind\fP, \fIspring_loaded\fP,

state information as described under
.PN XtPopup ,
.PN XtMenuPopup ,
.PN XtPopdown ,
and
.PN XtMenuPopdown .
.IN "allowShellResize" "" "@DEF@"
The \fIallow_shell_resize\fP field controls whether the widget contained
by the shell is allowed to try to resize itself.
If allow_shell_resize is
.PN False ,
any geometry requests made by the child will always return
.PN XtGeometryNo
without interacting with the window manager.
Setting \fIsave_under\fP
.PN True
instructs the server to attempt
to save the contents of windows obscured by the shell when it is mapped
and to restore those contents automatically when the shell is unmapped.
It is useful for pop-up menus.
Setting \fIoverride_redirect\fP
.PN True
determines
whether the window manager can intercede when the shell window
is mapped.
For further information on override_redirect,
see Section 3.2 in \fI\*(xL\fP and Sections 4.1.10 and 4.2.2 in the
\fI\*(xC\fP.
The pop-up and pop-down callbacks are called during
.PN XtPopup
and
.PN XtPopdown .
The default value of the \fIvisual\fP resource is the symbolic value
.PN CopyFromParent .
The \*(xI do not need to query the parent's visual type when the
default value is used; if a client using
.PN XtGetValues
to examine the visual type receives the value
.PN CopyFromParent ,
it must then use
.PN XGetWindowAttributes

The \fItitle\fP and
\fItitle_encoding\fP fields are stored in the
.PN \s-1WM_NAME\s+1
property on the shell's window by the WMShell realize procedure.
If the \fItitle_encoding\fP field is
.PN None ,
the \fItitle\fP string is assumed to be in the encoding of the current
locale and the encoding of the
.PN \s-1WM_NAME\s+1
property is set to
.PN XStdICCTextStyle .
If a language procedure has not been set
the default value of \fItitle_encoding\fP is
\fB\s-1XA_STRING\s+1\fP, otherwise the default value is
.PN None .
The \fIwm_timeout\fP field specifies, in milliseconds,
the amount of time a shell is to wait for
confirmation of a geometry request to the window manager.
If none comes back within that time,
the shell assumes the window manager is not functioning properly
and sets \fIwait_for_wm\fP to
.PN False
(later events may reset this value).
When \fIwait_for_wm\fP is
.PN False ,
the shell does not wait for a response, but relies on asynchronous
notification.
If \fItransient\fP is
.PN True ,
the
.PN \s-1WM_TRANSIENT_FOR\s+1

will be stored on the shell window with a value as specified below.
The interpretation of this property is specific to the window manager

The realize and set_values procedures of WMShell store the
.PN \s-1WM_CLIENT_LEADER\s+1
property on the shell window.
When \fIclient_leader\fP is not NULL and the client leader widget is
realized, the property will be created with the value of the window of the
client leader widget.
When \fIclient_leader\fP is NULL and the shell widget has a NULL parent,
the widget's window is used as the value of the
property.
When \fIclient_leader\fP is NULL and the shell widget has a non-NULL parent,
a search is made for the closest shell ancestor
with a non-NULL \fIclient_leader\fP,
and if none is found the shell ancestor with a NULL parent is the result.
If the resulting widget is realized, the property is created
with the value of the widget's window.

.LP
The purpose of the token's \fIsave_success\fP field is to
indicate the outcome of the entire operation to the
session manager and ultimately, to the user.
Returning
.PN False
indicates some portion of the application state
could not be successfully saved. If any token is returned
to the shell with \fIsave_success\fP
.PN False ,
tokens subsequently received
by the application for the current save operation will show
\fIsave_success\fP as
.PN False .
When the shell sends the final status of the checkpoint to the
session manager, it will indicate failure to save application state
if any token was returned with \fIsave_success\fP
.PN False .
.LP
Session participants that manage and save the state of other clients
should structure their save or interact callbacks to
set \fIrequest_next_phase\fP to
.PN True
when phase is 1, which will cause the shell to send the
.PN SaveYourselfPhase2Request
when the first phase is complete. When the
.PN SaveYourselfPhase2
message is received, the shell will invoke the save callbacks a
second time with \fIphase\fP equal to 2.
Manager clients should save the state of other clients
when the callbacks are invoked the second time and \fIphase\fP equal to 2.

The application may request additional tokens while a checkpoint is under way,

Requesting Interaction
.XS
\fB\*(SN Requesting Interaction\fP
.XE
.LP
When the token \fIinteract_style\fP allows user interaction,
the application may
interact with the user during the checkpoint, but must wait for permission
to interact.
Applications request permission to interact with the user during the
checkpointing operation by registering a procedure on the Session
shell's interact callback list. When all save callback procedures have
returned, and each time a token that was granted by a call to
.PN XtSessionGetToken
is returned, the Session shell examines the interact callback list.
If interaction is permitted and the interact callback list is not empty,
the shell will send an
.PN InteractRequest
to the session manager when an interact request is not already outstanding
for the application.
.LP
The type of interaction dialog that will be requested is specified by
the \fIinteract_dialog_type\fP field in the checkpoint token.
The possible values for \fIinteract_dialog_type\fP are
.PN SmDialogError
and
.PN SmDialogNormal .
If a token is returned with \fIinteract_dialog_type\fP containing
.PN SmDialogError ,
the interact request and any subsequent interact requests will be for
an error dialog; otherwise, the request will be for a normal dialog with
the user.
.LP
When a token is returned with \fIsave_success\fP
.PN False
or \fIinteract_dialog_type\fP
.PN SmDialogError ,
tokens subsequently passed to callbacks during the same active
.PN SaveYourself
response will reflect these changed values, indicating that
an error condition has occurred during the checkpoint.
.LP
The \fIrequest_cancel\fP field is a return value for interact callbacks only.
Upon return from a procedure on the save callback list, the value
of the token's \fIrequest_cancel\fP field is not examined by the shell.
This is also true of tokens received through a call to
.PN XtSessionGetToken .

Interacting with the User during a Checkpoint
.XS
\fB\*(SN Interacting with the User during a Checkpoint\fP
.XE
.LP
When the session manager grants the application's request for user interaction,
the Session shell receives an
.PN Interact
message.
The procedures registered on the interact callback list are executed,
but not as if executing a typical callback list.
These procedures are individually executed in
sequence, with a checkpoint token functioning as the sequencing mechanism.
Each step in the sequence begins by removing a procedure
from the interact callback list
and executing it with a token passed in the \fIcall_data\fP.
The interact callback will typically pop up a dialog box and return.
When the user interaction and associated application checkpointing has
completed, the application must return the token by calling
.PN XtSessionReturnToken .
Returning the token completes the current step and triggers the next step
in the sequence.
.LP
During interaction the client may request cancellation of a shutdown.
When a token passed as \fIcall_data\fP to an interact procedure is returned,
if \fIshutdown\fP is
.PN True
and \fIcancel_shutdown\fP is
.PN False ,
\fIrequest_cancel\fP indicates whether the
application requests that the pending shutdown be cancelled.
If \fIrequest_cancel\fP is
.PN True ,
the field will also be
.PN True
in any tokens subsequently granted during the checkpoint operation.
When a token is returned requesting cancellation of
the session shutdown, pending interact procedures will still be
called by the Session shell.
When all interact procedures have been removed from the interact callback
list, executed, and the final interact token returned to the shell, an
.PN InteractDone
message is sent to the session manager, indicating whether
a pending session shutdown is requested to be cancelled.
.NH 4
Responding to a Shutdown Cancellation
.XS
\fB\*(SN Responding to a Shutdown Cancellation\fP
.XE
.LP
Callbacks registered on the cancel callback list are invoked when the
Session shell processes a
.PN ShutdownCancelled
message from the session manager. This may occur during the
processing of save callbacks, while waiting for interact permission,
during user interaction, or after the save operation is complete and
the application is expecting a
.PN SaveComplete
or a
.PN Die
message.
The \fIcall_data\fP for these callbacks is NULL.
.LP
When the shell notices that a pending shutdown has been cancelled,
the token \fIcancel_shutdown\fP field will be
.PN True
in tokens subsequently given to the application.
.LP
Receiving notice of a shutdown cancellation does not cancel the
pending execution of save callbacks or interact callbacks.
After the cancel callbacks execute, if \fIinteract_style\fP is not
.PN SmInteractStyleNone
and the interact list is not empty,
the procedures on the interact callback list will be executed
and passed a token with \fIinteract_style\fP
.PN SmInteractStyleNone .
The application should not interact with the user, and the Session shell
will not send an
.PN InteractDone
message.
.NH 4
Completing a Save
.XS
\fB\*(SN Completing a Save\fP
.XE
.LP
When there is no user interaction, the shell regards the application
as having finished saving state when all callback procedures
on the save callback list have returned, and any additional tokens
passed out by
.PN XtSessionGetToken
have been returned by corresponding calls to
.PN XtSessionReturnToken .
If the save operation involved user interaction,
the above completion conditions apply, and in addition, all requests for
interaction have been granted or cancelled,
and all tokens passed to interact callbacks have been returned
through calls to
.PN XtSessionReturnToken .
If the save operation involved a manager client that requested the
second phase, the above conditions apply to both the first and second
phase of the save operation.
.br
.LP
When the application has finished saving state,
the Session shell will report the result to the session manager by
sending the
.PN SaveYourselfDone
message.
If the session is continuing, the shell will receive the
.PN SaveComplete
message when all applications have completed saving state.
This message indicates that applications may again allow changes
to their state. The shell will execute the save_complete callbacks.
The \fIcall_data\fP for these callbacks is NULL.

Callbacks registered on the die callback list are invoked when the
session manager sends a
.PN Die
message.
The callbacks on this list should do whatever is appropriate to quit
the application.
Before executing procedures on the die callback list,
the Session shell will close the connection to the session manager
and will remove the handler that watches for protocol messages.
The \fIcall_data\fP for these callbacks is NULL.

When the Session shell widget is destroyed, the destroy method will
close the connection to the session manager by sending a
.PN ConnectionClosed
protocol message and will remove the input callback
that was watching for session protocol messages.
.LP
When
.PN XtSetValues
is used to set \fIjoin_session\fP to
.PN False ,
the set_values method of the Session shell will close the
connection to the session manager if one exists by sending a
.PN ConnectionClosed
message, and \fIconnection\fP will be set to NULL.
.LP
Applications that exit in response to user actions and that do not
wait for phase 2 destroy to complete on
the Session shell should set \fIjoin_session\fP to
.PN False
before exiting.
.LP
When
.PN XtSetValues
is used to set \fIconnection\fP to NULL,
the Session shell will stop managing the connection, if one exists.
However, that session connection will not be closed.
.LP
Applications that wish to ensure continuation of a session connection
beyond the destruction of the shell should first retrieve the
\fIconnection\fP resource value,
then set the \fIconnection\fP resource to NULL,
and then they may safely destroy the widget without losing control
of the session connection.
.LP
The error callback list will be called if an unrecoverable
communications error occurs while the shell is managing the connection.
The shell will close the connection, set \fIconnection\fP to NULL,
remove the input callback, and
call the procedures registered on the error callback list.
The \fIcall_data\fP for these callbacks is NULL.
