The CW_TMPL procedure is a template for compound widgets that use the XMANAGER. Use this template instead of writing your compound widgets from “scratch”. This template can be found in the file cw_tmpl.pro in the lib subdirectory of the IDL distribution.
Result = CW_TMPL( Parent [, TAB_MODE=value] [, UNAME =string] [, UVALUE=value] )
The widget ID of the parent widget of the new compound widget.
Set this keyword to one of the values shown in the table below to determine how the widget hierarchy can be navigated using the Tab key. The TAB_MODE setting is inherited by lower-level bases and child widgets unless it is explicitly set on an individual widget.
Note: It is not possible to tab to disabled (SENSITIVE=0) or hidden (MAP=0) widgets.
Valid settings are:
|
Value |
Description |
|
0 |
Disable navigation onto or off of the widget. This is the default. Child widgets automatically inherit the tab mode of the parent base as described in Inheriting the TAB_MODE Value. |
|
1 |
Enable navigation onto and off of the widget. |
|
2 |
Navigate only onto the widget. |
|
3 |
Navigate only off of the widget. |
Note: In widget applications on the UNIX platform, the Motif library controls what widgets are brought into and released from focus using tabbing. The TAB_MODE keyword value is always zero, and any attempt to change it is ignored when running a widget application on the UNIX platform. Tabbing behavior may vary significantly between UNIX platforms; do not rely on a particular behavior being duplicated on all UNIX systems.
Set this keyword to a string that can be used to identify the widget in your code. You can associate a name with each widget in a specific hierarchy, and then use that name to query the widget hierarchy and get the correct widget ID.
To query the widget hierarchy, use the WIDGET_INFO function with the FIND_BY_UNAME keyword. The UNAME should be unique to the widget hierarchy because the FIND_BY_UNAME keyword returns the ID of the first widget with the specified name.
A user-specified value for the compound widget.
