MainWindow provides a standard layout for the primary window of an
application. This layout includes a MenuBar, a CommandWindow, a work
region, a MessageWindow, and ScrollBars. Any or all of these areas are
optional. The work region and ScrollBars in the MainWindow behave
identically to the work region and ScrollBars in the ScrolledWindow
widget. The user can think of the MainWindow as an extended ScrolledWindow
with an optional MenuBar and optional CommandWindow and MessageWindow.
In a fully-loaded MainWindow, the MenuBar spans the top of the window
horizontally. The CommandWindow spans the MainWindow horizontally just below
the MenuBar, and the work region lies below the CommandWindow.
The MessageWindow is is below the work region.
Any space remaining below the
MessageWindow is managed in a manner identical to ScrolledWindow.
The behavior of ScrolledWindow can be controlled by the ScrolledWindow
resources. To create a MainWindow, first create the
work region elements, a MenuBar, a CommandWindow, a MessageWindow, a
horizontal ScrollBar, and a vertical ScrollBar widget, and then
call XmMainWindowSetAreas with those widget IDs.
MainWindow
can also create three Separator widgets that provide a visual separation of
MainWindow's four components.
The user can specify resources in a resource file for the automatically
created gadgets that contain the MainWindow separators. The name of the
first separator gadget is ``Separator1''; the second is
``Separator2''; and the third is ``Separator3''.
Classes
MainWindow inherits behavior and resources from Core,
Composite, Constraint, XmManager,
and ScrolledWindow classes.
The class pointer is xmMainWindowWidgetClass.
The class name is XmMainWindow.
New resources
The 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
set at creation time (C),
set by using
XtSetValues (S),
retrieved by using
XtGetValues (G),
or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNcommandWindow
Specifies the widget to be laid out as the CommandWindow. This widget
must have been previously created and managed as a child of MainWindow.
XmNcommandWindowLocation
Controls the position of the command window. XmCOMMAND_ABOVE_WORKSPACE
locates the command window between the menu bar and the work window.
XmCOMMAND_BELOW_WORKSPACE locates the command window between the
work window and the message window.
XmNmainWindowMarginHeight
Specifies the margin height on the top and bottom of MainWindow. This
resource overrides any setting of the
ScrolledWindow resource
XmNscrolledWindowMarginHeight.
XmNmainWindowMarginWidth
Specifies the margin width on the right and left sides of MainWindow. This
resource overrides any setting of the ScrolledWindow resource
XmNscrolledWindowMarginWidth.
XmNmenuBar
Specifies the widget to be laid out as the MenuBar. This widget must
have been previously created and managed as a child of MainWindow.
XmNmessageWindow
Specifies the widget to be laid out as the MessageWindow. This widget
must have been previously created and managed as a child of MainWindow.
The MessageWindow is positioned at the bottom of the MainWindow.
If this value is NULL, no message window is included in the MainWindow.
XmNshowSeparator
Displays separators between the components of the MainWindow when set
to True. If set to False, no separators are displayed.
Inherited resources
MainWindow inherits behavior and resources from the following
superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the
man page for that superclass.
