NAME
XfwfPrompt

DESCRIPTION
The Prompt widget is used for short (no more than a few lines) text entry. It can be used in two modes: either with or without a template. If there is a template, input will be checked against it and only accepted if it matches. A template must be accompanied by a pattern, that gives the acceptable character classes for each position in the template. A template can include literal characters, e.g., "Enter date: __-__-__ (DD-MM-YY)" with pattern "99-99-99" means that the user may enter only digits on the `_' positions. If the pattern and template do not provide enough validation, or if there is no template, there is also the possibility of using a callback after each character is entered. The callback can accept or reject the new text. The rvStart resource is used as cursor position.

  Public variables
XfwfPrompt
Name | Class | Type | Default
XtNtext | XtCText | String | NULL
XtNtemplate | XtCTemplate | String | NULL
XtNpattern | XtCPattern | String | NULL
XtNvalidate | XtCValidate | Callback | NULL
XtNleave | XtCLeave | Callback | NULL
XtNactivate | XtCActivate | Callback | NULL
XtNcomplete | XtCComplete | Boolean | True
XtNplaceholder | XtCPlaceholder | char | '_'

XtNtext
    The text resource is what is modified by the user. If there is a template defined, the text will be the portion of the template from the first `_' to the last.

    String text = NULL

XtNtemplate
    The template consists of text with at least one `_' (or, to be precise, the value of placeholder). If there is no template, input of any length is accepted (but see the validate callback below). Note that the label resource that is inherited from XfwfLabel is used to hold the combination of template and text. Setting label has no effect, and, indeed, will cause a warning message to be printed.

    String template = NULL

XtNpattern
    The pattern is only used if there is a template. The length of the pattern must be the length from the first `_' in template to the last. Where the template has a `_', the pattern must have one of: * `9' only digits are allowed. * `a' digits, upper- and lowercase letters and spaces. * `A' digits, uppercase letters and spaces. * `F' only `safe' file name characters. * 'f' file name character plus `*' `[', `]' and `?' * `X' any character. * `z' digits, upper- and lowercase letters (no spaces) * `Z' digits, uppercase letters (no spaces). If the pattern is empty or too short, it will be extended with X's.

    String pattern = NULL

XtNvalidate
    The validate callbacks are called when the text changes, because a letter is added or removed. The callback get a pointer to an XfwfPromptInfo structure as call_data. The structure includes a field reply, which should be set to XfwfReject, XfwfAccept or XfwfComplete. The first causes the new text to be rejected with a `beep'; the second sets the complete resource to False, to indicate that the text is valid, but not yet complete; the third sets the complete resource to True.

    <Callback> XtCallbackList validate = NULL

XtNleave
    The leave callback is called when the focus leaves the prompt widget. This is usually a sign that the user is ready entering the text. The final text is passed in the call_data argument.

    <Callback> XtCallbackList leave = NULL

XtNactivate
    The activate callback is invoked from the activate action, which is normally bound to the Return key. The call_data argument of the callbacks routines is filled with a pointer to the event that triggered the action. This callback can be used in a dialog box, for example, to activate the default button.

    <Callback> XtCallbackList activate = NULL

XtNcomplete
    The resource complete is always True, unless the most recent call to the validate callback returned XfwfAccept.

    Boolean complete = True

XtNplaceholder
    The character thatis used as the placeholder can be changed from the default `_' by setting the placeholder resource. Note that this character will also be used in the text string to indicate open places.

    char placeholder = '_'

XtNcursor
    The cursor is by default a vertical bar, called the `xterm' cursor.

     cursor = <String>"xterm"

XtNtraversalOn
    Since prompts, in contrast to labels, should receive keyboard events, the traversalOn resource is by default True.

     traversalOn = True

XtNframeWidth
    The default frame width is also given a different value.

     frameWidth = 2

XtNframeType
    As is the frame type

     frameType = XfwfSunken

XtNalignment
    The default alignment of text is changed to center-left.

  Exports
The XfwfPromptInfo is what is passed to the validate callback after the text has changed. It contains pointers to the old and the new text and a boolean field result that is initially set to XfwfComplete, but that may be changed by the callback routine, when the new text is unacceptable, or acceptable but not complete.

type
 XfwfPromptInfoResult = enum {
		XfwfReject, XfwfAccept, XfwfComplete
	}
type
 XfwfPromptInfo = struct {
		String oldstring;
		String newstring;
		Boolean result;
	}

  Actions

activate
    The activate action just calls the activate callback functions, passing the XEvent pointer in the call_data argument.
    void activate($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        XtCallCallbackList($, $activate, event);
    }

leave
    The leave action calls the leave callbacks with the current text as call_data.
    void leave($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        if (event->type == FocusOut
    	 event->xfocus.detail != NotifyAncestor
    	 event->xfocus.detail != NotifyInferior
    	 event->xfocus.detail != NotifyNonlinear) return;
        XtCallCallbackList($, $leave, $text);
    }

start_select
    The start_select action sets the cursor position as close as possible to the mouse position, but only if the mouse actually points at some text. It also removes any previous selection, preparing for a new one.
    void start_select($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        Position x, y;
        Dimension w, h;
        Cardinal pos;
        if (find_cursor($, event->xbutton, $rvStart)) {
    	$rvLength = 0;
    	$compute_inside($, x, y, w, h);
    	XClearArea(XtDisplay($), XtWindow($), x, y, w, h, True);
        }
    }

extend_select
    The extend_select action extends the selection to the current cursor position.
    void extend_select($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        Position x, y;
        Dimension w, h;
        int pos, len, start;
        if (find_cursor($, event->xbutton, pos)) {
    	len = abs(pos - $rvStart);
    	start = min(pos, $rvStart);
    	if (len != $rvLength || start != $rvStart) {
    	    $rvLength = len;
    	    $rvStart = start;
    	    $compute_inside($, x, y, w, h);
    	    XClearArea(XtDisplay($), XtWindow($), x, y, w, h, True);
    	}
        }
    }

end_select
    The end_select action copies the selected text to the clipboard.
    void end_select($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        if ($rvLength == 0) return;
        if (! XtOwnSelection($, XA_PRIMARY, event->xbutton.time,
    			 convert_proc, lose_ownership_proc, NULL)) {
    	XtWarning("failed attempting to become selection owner.");
    	return;
        }
        XtFree($selection_buffer);
        $selection_buffer = XtMalloc(sizeof(char) * ($rvLength + 1));
        (void) strncpy($selection_buffer, $label + $rvStart, $rvLength);
        $selection_buffer[$rvLength] = '\0';
    }

paste
    The paste action requests the contents of the clipboard in string-format and tries to insert it into the text.
    void paste($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        XtGetSelectionValue($, XA_PRIMARY, XA_STRING, paste_callback, NULL,
    			event->xbutton.time);
    }

unselect
    The unselect action restores the text that was shown in reverse to normal.
    void unselect($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        Position x, y;
        Dimension w, h;
        if ($rvLength != 0) {
    	$rvLength = 0;
    	$compute_inside($, x, y, w, h);
    	XClearArea(XtDisplay($), XtWindow($), x, y, w, h, True);
        }
    }

cut The cut action deletes the highlighted portion from the text.
    void cut($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        int j, i;
        XfwfPromptInfo info;
        String newlabel;
        if ($rvLength == 0) return;
        info.oldstring = XtNewString($text);
        if ($template == NULL) {
    	j = strlen($text);
    	i = min($rvStart + $rvLength, j) - 1;
    	for (; i >= $rvStart; i--, j--) delete_from_run($, i, j, '\0');
        } else {
    	i = min($rvStart + $rvLength, $text_start + $text_len) - 1;
    	for (; i >= $rvStart; i--) {
    	    if ($template[i] != $placeholder) continue;
    	    j = find_end_of_run($, i);
    	    delete_from_run($, i - $text_start, j - $text_start, $placeholder);
    	}
        }
        info.newstring = $text;
        info.result = XfwfComplete;
        XtCallCallbackList($, $validate, info);
        switch (info.result) {
        case XfwfReject: XtFree($text); $text = info.oldstring; return;
        case XfwfAccept: XtFree(info.oldstring); $complete = False; break;
        case XfwfComplete: XtFree(info.oldstring); $complete = True; break;
        }
        if ($template == NULL) {
    	$set_label($, $text);
        } else {
    	newlabel = XtNewString($template);
    	for (j = 0; j < $text_len; j++) newlabel[j+$text_start] = $text[j];
    	$set_label($, newlabel);
    	XtFree(newlabel);
        }
        $rvLength = 0;
    }

self_insert
    The self_insert function inserts the key that was pressed into the text. If the key is not a printable key, it does nothing. If the key doesn't match the pattern, it does nothing. If the callback validate returns XfwfReject, it does nothing.
    void self_insert($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        KeySym keysym;
        int n, i;
        char buf[100];
        XfwfPromptInfo info;
        String newlabel;
        if (event->type != KeyPress  event->type != KeyRelease) {
    	XtWarning("action <self_insert> can only handle keyboard events");
    	return;
        }
        info.oldstring = XtNewString($text);
        n = XLookupString(event->xkey, buf, sizeof(buf), keysym, $compose_stat);
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) insert_char($, buf[i]);
        info.newstring = $text;
        info.result = XfwfComplete;
        XtCallCallbackList($, $validate, info);
        switch (info.result) {
        case XfwfReject: XtFree($text); $text = info.oldstring; return;
        case XfwfAccept: XtFree(info.oldstring); $complete = False; break;
        case XfwfComplete: XtFree(info.oldstring); $complete = True; break;
        }
        if ($template == NULL)
    	$set_label($, $text);
        else {
    	newlabel = XtNewString($template);
    	for (i = 0; i < $text_len; i++) newlabel[i+$text_start] = $text[i];
    	$set_label($, newlabel);
    	XtFree(newlabel);
        }
    }

bol The bol action moves the cursor to the leftmost placeholder.
    void bol($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        Position x, y;
        Dimension w, h;
        if ($rvStart == $text_start) return;
        $rvStart = $text_start;
        $compute_inside($, x, y, w, h);
        XClearArea(XtDisplay($), XtWindow($), x, y, w, h, True);
    }

eol The eol action moves the cursor to the end of the label, if it isn't there already.
    void eol($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        Position x, y;
        Dimension w, h;
        if ($template == NULL) {
    	if ($label[$rvStart] == '\0') return;
    	do { $rvStart++; } while ($label[$rvStart]);
        } else {
    	if ($rvStart == $text_start + $text_len) return;
    	$rvStart = $text_start + $text_len;
        }
        $compute_inside($, x, y, w, h);
        XClearArea(XtDisplay($), XtWindow($), x, y, w, h, True);
    }

left
    The left action moves the cursor one position to the left, unless there are no more placeholders in that direction.
    void left($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        Position x, y;
        Dimension w, h;
        if ($rvStart == $text_start) return;
        if ($template == NULL)
    	$rvStart--;
        else
    	do { $rvStart--; } while ($template[$rvStart] != $placeholder);
        $compute_inside($, x, y, w, h);
        XClearArea(XtDisplay($), XtWindow($), x, y, w, h, True);
    }

right
    The right action moves the cursor one position to the right, unless it is already at the end of the template.
    void right($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        Position x, y;
        Dimension w, h;
        if ($template == NULL) {
    	if ($label[$rvStart] == '\0') return;
    	$rvStart++;
        } else {
    	if ($rvStart == $text_start + $text_len) return;
    	do { $rvStart++; } while ($template[$rvStart] != $placeholder);
        }
        $compute_inside($, x, y, w, h);
        XClearArea(XtDisplay($), XtWindow($), x, y, w, h, True);
    }

delete
    The delete action removes the character to the right of the cursor, if there is any. The rest of the characters in the same run will shift to the left.
    void delete($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        int j;
        XfwfPromptInfo info;
        String newlabel;
        if ($template == NULL) {
    	if (! $text || $text[$rvStart] == '\0') return;
    	info.oldstring = XtNewString($text);
    	j = strlen($text);
    	delete_from_run($, $rvStart, j, '\0');
        } else {
    	if ($template[$rvStart] != $placeholder) return;
    	info.oldstring = XtNewString($text);
    	j = find_end_of_run($, $rvStart) - $text_start;
    	delete_from_run($, $rvStart - $text_start, j, $placeholder);
        }
        info.newstring = $text;
        info.result = XfwfComplete;
        XtCallCallbackList($, $validate, info);
        switch (info.result) {
        case XfwfReject: XtFree($text); $text = info.oldstring; return;
        case XfwfAccept: XtFree(info.oldstring); $complete = False; break;
        case XfwfComplete: XtFree(info.oldstring); $complete = True; break;
        }
        if ($template == NULL) {
    	$set_label($, $text);
        } else {

    	$set_label($, newlabel);
    	XtFree(newlabel);
        }
    }

backspace
    The backspace action removes the character to the left of the cursor, if there is any. The cursor moves left and all characters in the same run move left.
    void backspace($, XEvent* event, String* params, Cardinal* num_params)
    {
        int j;
        XfwfPromptInfo info;
        String newlabel;
        if ($rvStart == $text_start) return;
        info.oldstring = XtNewString($text);
        if ($template == NULL) {
    	$rvStart--;
    	j = strlen($label);
    	delete_from_run($, $rvStart, j, '\0');
        } else {
    	do { $rvStart--; } while ($template[$rvStart] != $placeholder);
    	j = find_end_of_run($, $rvStart) - $text_start;
    	delete_from_run($, $rvStart - $text_start, j, $placeholder);
        }
        info.newstring = $text;
        info.result = XfwfComplete;

  Private variables
The start and length of the entry part of the template is stored in two private variables.

int  text_start
int  text_len
Between keypresses, the XComposeStatus is retained.

XComposeStatus  compose_stat
If the widget is the owner of the selection, the text of the selection is stored here.

String  selection_buffer

  Methods
The initialize method initializes the private variables, with the help of a utility routine. That routine also checks if pattern and template agree. All String resources are copied to new allocated space, so that the application can change or throw away the original strings.
initialize(Widget  request, $, ArgList  args, Cardinal * num_args)
{
    if ($label != NULL)

The set_values method copies all string resources that have changed to new heap space, and calls set_text_start to compute the text_start and text_end and to set the label resource.

{
    Boolean need_redisplay = False, reset_text = False;

The expose method does much of the work that is also done by the superclass, but without actually drawing anything. The only thing that is drawn is the cursor.
expose($, XEvent * event, Region  region)

    Region reg;
    XRectangle rect;
    int baseline, i, j;

    if ($label == NULL) return;

    $compute_inside($, rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, rect.height);
    rect.x += $leftMargin;  rect.width -= $leftMargin + $rightMargin;
    rect.y += $topMargin;  rect.height -= $topMargin + $bottomMargin;
    if ($alignment  XfwfTop)
	y = rect.y + $font->ascent;
    else if ($alignment  XfwfBottom)
	y = rect.y + rect.height - $nlines * baseline + $font->ascent;

Utilities
The find_cursor function sets the cursor position pos to the character closest to the mouse coordinates, it returns True if it succeeded, else False.
Boolean  find_cursor($, XButtonEvent * event, int * pos)
{
    XRectangle rect;
    int baseline, i, j;
    Dimension w;
    int x, y;
    if (! XtIsRealized($)) return False;
    if ($label == NULL) return False;
    baseline = $font->ascent + $font->descent;
    $compute_inside($, rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, rect.height);
    rect.x += $leftMargin;  rect.width -= $leftMargin + $rightMargin;
    rect.y += $topMargin;  rect.height -= $topMargin + $bottomMargin;
    if ($alignment  XfwfTop)
	y = rect.y;
    else if ($alignment  XfwfBottom)
	y = rect.y + rect.height - $nlines * baseline;
    else

    i = 0;
    j = 0;
    do {
	if ($label[i] == '\n' || $label[i] == '\0') {
	    if (y <= event->y  event->y < y + baseline) {
		find_cursor_in_line($, rect, event->x, event->y, j, i, pos);
		return True;
	    } else {
		j = i + 1;
		y += baseline;
	    }
	}
    } while ($label[i++]);
    return False;
}
find_cursor makes use of an auxiliary function find_cursor_in_line, which is called when the mouse is on the line between $label[j] and $label[i].
find_cursor_in_line($, XRectangle  rect, int  mx, int  my, int  j, int  i, int * pos)
{
    Dimension w;
    int x;
    w = XfwfTextWidth($font, $label + j, i - j, $tabs);
    if ($alignment  XfwfLeft)
	x = rect.x;
    else if ($alignment  XfwfRight)
	x = rect.x + rect.width - w;
    else
	x = rect.x + (rect.width - w)/2;
    if (x + w <= mx) {				/* Mouse right of the text */
	if ($template == NULL)
	    *pos = i;
	else {					/* Find placeholder */
	    while (i > $text_start  $template[i] != $placeholder) i--;
	    *pos = i;
	}
    } else if (mx < x) {			/* Mouse left of the text */
	if ($template == NULL)
	    *pos = j;
	else {					/* Find placeholder */
	    while (j > $text_start  $template[j] != $placeholder) j--;
	    *pos = j;
	}
    } else {					/* Mouse points in the text */
	for (w = 0; True; j++) {
	    w += XfwfTextWidth($font, $label + j, 1, $tabs);
	    if (x + w >= mx) break;
	}
	if ($template == NULL)
	    *pos = j;
	else if (j >= $text_start + $text_len)
	    *pos = $text_start + $text_len;
	else if (j <= $text_start)
	    *pos = $text_start;

	    while (j > $text_start  $template[j] != $placeholder) j--;
	    *pos = j;
	}
    }
}
The insert_char function tries to insert a character at the cursor position. If it matches the pattern, it is inserted, otherwise, if it matches the next literal character in the template, the cursor will skip to that position. If a character could be inserted, the validate callback is called. If that returns XfwfReject, the old situation is restored. If there is no template, only the callback is called. The first few functions deal with `runs', which are defined as rows of consecutive placeholders with the same pattern character. find_end_of_run looks for the first character beyond the end of the run that starts at start.
int  find_end_of_run($, int  start)
{
    int i, j;
    i = start + 1;
    j = i - $text_start;
    while ($template[i] == $placeholder  $pattern[j] == $pattern[j-1]) {
	i++;
	j++;
    }
    return i;
}
insert_in_run inserts character c at position start in text, shifting the rest of the characters in the run one position forward.
insert_in_run($, int  start, int  end, int  c)
{
    int i;
    for (i = end - 1; i > start; i--) $text[i] = $text[i-1];
    $text[start] = c;
}
delete_from_run shift all characters in the run to the left, the last character will become a placeholder (filler), the first character will disappear.
delete_from_run($, int  start, int  end, int  filler)
{
    int i;
    for (i = start; i < end - 1; i++) $text[i] = $text[i+1];
    $text[end-1] = filler;
}
If the characer c is in the class indicated by class, the function returns True.
Boolean  matches(int  c, int  class)
{
    if (class == '9') return isdigit(c);
    if (class == 'a') return isalnum(c) || isspace(c);
    if (class == 'A') return isdigit(c) || isupper(c) || isspace(c);

    if (class == 'z') return isalnum(c);
    if (class == 'Z') return isdigit(c) || isupper(c);
    XtWarning("Cannot happen: incorrect pattern");
    return True;

set_text_start checks if pattern and template agree and if so, sets the private variables text_start and text_len appropriately. The label resource is set to the value of template with text substituted.
