DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt is called to configure various aspects of a widget, such as colors, fonts, border width, etc. It is intended as a convenience procedure to reduce the amount of code that must be written in individual widget managers to handle configuration information. It is typically invoked when widgets are created, and again when the ccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeee command is invoked for a widget. Although intended primarily for widgets, TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt can be used in other situations where _a_r_g_c- _a_r_g_v information is to be used to fill in a record structure, such as configuring graphical elements for a canvas widget or entries of a menu. TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt processes a table specifying the configuration options that are supported (_s_p_e_c_s) and a collection of command-line arguments (_a_r_g_c and _a_r_g_v) to fill in fields of a record (_w_i_d_g_R_e_c). It uses the option database and defaults specified in _s_p_e_c_s to fill in fields of _w_i_d_g_R_e_c that are not specified in _a_r_g_v. TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt normally returns the value TCL_OK; in this case it does not modify _i_n_t_e_r_p. If an error occurs then TCL_ERROR is returned and TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt will leave an error message in _i_n_t_e_r_p->_r_e_s_u_l_t in the standard Tcl fashion. In the event of an error return, some of the fields of _w_i_d_g_R_e_c could already have been set, if configuration information for them was successfully processed before the error occurred. The other fields will be set to reasonable initial values so that TTTTkkkk____FFFFrrrreeeeeeeeOOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss can be called for cleanup. The _s_p_e_c_s array specifies the kinds of configuration options expected by the widget. Each of its entries specifies one configuration option and has the following structure: typedef struct { int _t_y_p_e; char *_a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e; PPPPaaaaggggeeee 2222 TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt((((3333TTTTkkkk)))) TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt((((3333TTTTkkkk)))) char *_d_b_N_a_m_e; char *_d_b_C_l_a_s_s; char *_d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e; int _o_f_f_s_e_t; int _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s; Tk_CustomOption *_c_u_s_t_o_m_P_t_r; } Tk_ConfigSpec; The _t_y_p_e field indicates what type of configuration option this is (e.g. TK_CONFIG_COLOR for a color value, or TK_CONFIG_INT for an integer value). The _t_y_p_e field indicates how to use the value of the option (more on this below). The _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e field is a string such as ``-font'' or ``-bg'', which is compared with the values in _a_r_g_v (if _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e is NULL it means this is a grouped entry; see GROUPED ENTRIES below). The _d_b_N_a_m_e and _d_b_C_l_a_s_s fields are used to look up a value for this option in the option database. The _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e field specifies a default value for this configuration option if no value is specified in either _a_r_g_v or the option database. _O_f_f_s_e_t indicates where in _w_i_d_g_R_e_c to store information about this option, and _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s contains additional information to control the processing of this configuration option (see FLAGS below). The last field, _c_u_s_t_o_m_P_t_r, is only used if _t_y_p_e is TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM; see CUSTOM OPTION TYPES below. TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt first processes _a_r_g_v to see which (if any) configuration options are specified there. _A_r_g_v must contain an even number of fields; the first of each pair of fields must match the _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e of some entry in _s_p_e_c_s (unique abbreviations are acceptable), and the second field of the pair contains the value for that configuration option. If there are entries in _s_p_e_c for which there were no matching entries in _a_r_g_v, TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt uses the _d_b_N_a_m_e and _d_b_C_l_a_s_s fields of the _s_p_e_c_s entry to probe the option database; if a value is found, then it is used as the value for the option. Finally, if no entry is found in the option database, the _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e field of the _s_p_e_c_s entry is used as the value for the configuration option. If the _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e is NULL, or if the TK_CONFIG_DONT_SET_DEFAULT bit is set in _f_l_a_g_s, then there is no default value and this _s_p_e_c_s entry will be ignored if no value is specified in _a_r_g_v or the option database. Once a string value has been determined for a configuration option, TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt translates the string value into a more useful form, such as a color if _t_y_p_e is TK_CONFIG_COLOR or an integer if _t_y_p_e is TK_CONFIG_INT. This value is then stored in the record pointed to by _w_i_d_g_R_e_c. This record is assumed to contain information relevant to the manager of the widget; its exact type is unknown to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt. The _o_f_f_s_e_t field of each _s_p_e_c_s entry indicates where in _w_i_d_g_R_e_c to store the information about this configuration option. You should use the TTTTkkkk____OOOOffffffffsssseeeetttt macro to generate _o_f_f_s_e_t values (see below for a description of TTTTkkkk____OOOOffffffffsssseeeetttt). The location indicated by _w_i_d_g_R_e_c and _o_f_f_s_e_t will be referred to as the ``target'' in the descriptions below.

For example, a color name might be used both to generate the background color for a widget (using TK_CONFIG_COLOR) and to generate a 3-D border to draw around the widget (using TK_CONFIG_BORDER). In cases like this it is possible to specify that several consecutive entries in _s_p_e_c_s are to be treated as a group. The first entry is used to determine a value (using its _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e, _d_b_N_a_m_e, _d_b_C_l_a_s_s, and _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e fields). The value will be processed several times (one for each entry in the group), generating multiple different resources and modifying multiple targets within _w_i_d_g_R_e_c. Each of the entries after the first must have a NULL value in its _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e field; this indicates that the entry is to be grouped with the entry that precedes it. Only the _t_y_p_e and _o_f_f_s_e_t fields are used from these follow-on entries. FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGGSSSS The _f_l_a_g_s argument passed to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt is used in conjunction with the _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s fields in the entries of _s_p_e_c_s to provide additional control over the processing of configuration options. These values are used in three different ways as described below. First, if the _f_l_a_g_s argument to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt has the TK_CONFIG_ARGV_ONLY bit set (i.e., _f_l_a_g_s | TK_CONFIG_ARGV_ONLY != 0), then the option database and _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e fields are not used. In this case, if an entry in _s_p_e_c_s doesn't match a field in _a_r_g_v then nothing happens: the corresponding target isn't modified. This feature is useful when the goal is to modify certain configuration options while leaving others in their current state, such as when a ccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeee widget command is being processed. Second, the _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s field of an entry in _s_p_e_c_s may be used to control the processing of that entry. Each _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s field may consists of an OR-ed combination of the following values: TTTTKKKK____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFFIIIIGGGG____CCCCOOOOLLLLOOOORRRR____OOOONNNNLLLLYYYY If this bit is set then the entry will only be considered if the display for _t_k_w_i_n has more than one bit plane. If the display is monochromatic then this _s_p_e_c_s entry will be ignored. TTTTKKKK____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFFIIIIGGGG____MMMMOOOONNNNOOOO____OOOONNNNLLLLYYYY If this bit is set then the entry will only be considered if the display for _t_k_w_i_n has exactly one bit plane. If the display is not monochromatic then this _s_p_e_c_s entry will be ignored. TTTTKKKK____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFFIIIIGGGG____NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL____OOOOKKKK This bit is only relevant for some types of entries (see the descriptions of the various entry types above). If this bit is set, it indicates that an empty string value for the field is acceptable and if it occurs then the target should be set to NULL or NNNNoooonnnneeee, depending on the type of the target. This flag is typically used to allow a feature to be turned off entirely, e.g. set a cursor value PPPPaaaaggggeeee 7777 TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt((((3333TTTTkkkk)))) TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt((((3333TTTTkkkk)))) to NNNNoooonnnneeee so that a window simply inherits its parent's cursor. If this bit isn't set then empty strings are processed as strings, which generally results in an error. TTTTKKKK____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFFIIIIGGGG____DDDDOOOONNNNTTTT____SSSSEEEETTTT____DDDDEEEEFFFFAAAAUUUULLLLTTTT If this bit is one, it means that the _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e field of the entry should only be used for returning the default value in TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo. In calls to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt no default will be supplied for entries with this flag set; it is assumed that the caller has already supplied a default value in the target location. This flag provides a performance optimization where it is expensive to process the default string: the client can compute the default once, save the value, and provide it before calling TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt. TTTTKKKK____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFFIIIIGGGG____OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN____SSSSPPPPEEEECCCCIIIIFFFFIIIIEEEEDDDD This bit is set and cleared by TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt. Whenever TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt returns, this bit will be set in all the entries where a value was specified in _a_r_g_v. It will be zero in all other entries. This bit provides a way for clients to determine which values actually changed in a call to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt. The TK_CONFIG_MONO_ONLY and TK_CONFIG_COLOR_ONLY flags are typically used to specify different default values for monochrome and color displays. This is done by creating two entries in _s_p_e_c_s that are identical except for their _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e and _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s fields. One entry should have the value TK_CONFIG_MONO_ONLY in its _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s and the default value for monochrome displays in its _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e; the other entry entry should have the value TK_CONFIG_COLOR_ONLY in its _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s and the appropriate _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e for color displays. Third, it is possible to use _f_l_a_g_s and _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s together to selectively disable some entries. This feature is not needed very often. It is useful in cases where several similar kinds of widgets are implemented in one place. It allows a single _s_p_e_c_s table to be created with all the configuration options for all the widget types. When processing a particular widget type, only entries relevant to that type will be used. This effect is achieved by setting the high-order bits (those in positions equal to or greater than TK_CONFIG_USER_BIT) in _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s values or in _f_l_a_g_s. In order for a particular entry in _s_p_e_c_s to be used, its high-order bits must match exactly the high-order bits of the _f_l_a_g_s value passed to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt. If a _s_p_e_c_s table is being used for N different widget types, then N of the high-order bits will be used. Each _s_p_e_c_s entry will have one of more of those bits set in its _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s field to indicate the widget types for which this entry is valid. When calling TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt, _f_l_a_g_s will have a single one of these bits set to select the entries for the desired widget type. For a working example of this feature, see the code in tkButton.c.

It takes two arguments: the name of a type of record, and the name of a field in that record. It returns the byte offset of the named field in records of the given type. TTTTKKKK____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFFIIIIGGGGUUUURRRREEEEIIIINNNNFFFFOOOO The TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo procedure may be used to obtain information about one or all of the options for a given widget. Given a token for a window (_t_k_w_i_n), a table describing the configuration options for a class of widgets (_s_p_e_c_s), a pointer to a widget record containing the current information for a widget (_w_i_d_g_R_e_c), and a NULL _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e argument, TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo generates a string describing all of the configuration options for the window. The string is placed in _i_n_t_e_r_p->_r_e_s_u_l_t. Under normal circumstances it returns TCL_OK; if an error occurs then it returns TCL_ERROR and _i_n_t_e_r_p->_r_e_s_u_l_t contains an error message. If _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e is NULL, then the value left in _i_n_t_e_r_p->_r_e_s_u_l_t by TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo consists of a list of one or more entries, each of which describes one configuration option (i.e. one entry in _s_p_e_c_s). Each entry in the list will contain either two or five values. If the corresponding entry in _s_p_e_c_s has type TK_CONFIG_SYNONYM, then the list will contain two values: the _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e for the entry and the _d_b_N_a_m_e (synonym name). Otherwise the list will contain five values: _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e, _d_b_N_a_m_e, _d_b_C_l_a_s_s, _d_e_f_V_a_l_u_e, and current value. The current value is computed from the appropriate field of _w_i_d_g_R_e_c by calling procedures like TTTTkkkk____NNNNaaaammmmeeeeOOOOffffCCCCoooolllloooorrrr. If the _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e argument to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo is non-NULL, then it indicates a single option, and information is returned only for that option. The string placed in _i_n_t_e_r_p->_r_e_s_u_l_t will be a list containing two or five values as described above; this will be identical to the corresponding sublist that would have been returned if _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e had been NULL. The _f_l_a_g_s argument to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo is used to restrict the _s_p_e_c_s entries to consider, just as for TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt. TTTTKKKK____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFFIIIIGGGGUUUURRRREEEEVVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEE TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeVVVVaaaalllluuuueeee takes arguments similar to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo; instead of| returning a list of values, it just returns the current value of the | option given by _a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e (_a_r_g_v_N_a_m_e must not be NULL).

CCCCUUUUSSSSTTTTOOOOMMMM OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN TTTTYYYYPPPPEEEESSSS Applications can extend the built-in configuration types with additional configuration types by writing procedures to parse and print options of the a type and creating a structure pointing to those procedures: typedef struct Tk_CustomOption { Tk_OptionParseProc *_p_a_r_s_e_P_r_o_c; Tk_OptionPrintProc *_p_r_i_n_t_P_r_o_c; ClientData _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a; } Tk_CustomOption; typedef int Tk_OptionParseProc( ClientData _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a, Tcl_Interp *_i_n_t_e_r_p, Tk_Window _t_k_w_i_n, char *_v_a_l_u_e, char *_w_i_d_g_R_e_c, int _o_f_f_s_e_t); typedef char *Tk_OptionPrintProc( ClientData _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a, Tk_Window _t_k_w_i_n, char *_w_i_d_g_R_e_c, int _o_f_f_s_e_t, Tcl_FreeProc **_f_r_e_e_P_r_o_c_P_t_r); The Tk_CustomOption structure contains three fields, which are pointers to the two procedures and a _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a value to be passed to those procedures when they are invoked. The _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a value typically points to a structure containing information that is needed by the procedures when they are parsing and printing options. The _p_a_r_s_e_P_r_o_c procedure is invoked by TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt to parse a string and store the resulting value in the widget record. The _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a argument is a copy of the _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a field in the Tk_CustomOption structure. The _i_n_t_e_r_p argument points to a Tcl interpreter used for error reporting. _T_k_w_i_n is a copy of the _t_k_w_i_n argument to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt. The _v_a_l_u_e argument is a string describing the value for the option; it could have been specified explicitly in the call to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt or it could come from the PPPPaaaaggggeeee 11110000 TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt((((3333TTTTkkkk)))) TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt((((3333TTTTkkkk)))) option database or a default. _V_a_l_u_e will never be a null pointer but it may point to an empty string. _R_e_c_o_r_d_P_t_r is the same as the _w_i_d_g_R_e_c argument to TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt; it points to the start of the widget record to modify. The last argument, _o_f_f_s_e_t, gives the offset in bytes from the start of the widget record to the location where the option value is to be placed. The procedure should translate the string to whatever form is appropriate for the option and store the value in the widget record. It should normally return TCL_OK, but if an error occurs in translating the string to a value then it should return TCL_ERROR and store an error message in _i_n_t_e_r_p->_r_e_s_u_l_t. The _p_r_i_n_t_P_r_o_c procedure is called by TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo to produce a string value describing an existing option. Its _c_l_i_e_n_t_D_a_t_a, _t_k_w_i_n, _w_i_d_g_R_e_c, and _o_f_f_s_e_t arguments all have the same meaning as for Tk_OptionParseProc procedures. The _p_r_i_n_t_P_r_o_c procedure should examine the option whose value is stored at _o_f_f_s_e_t in _w_i_d_g_R_e_c, produce a string describing that option, and return a pointer to the string. If the string is stored in dynamically-allocated memory, then the procedure must set *_f_r_e_e_P_r_o_c_P_t_r to the address of a procedure to call to free the string's memory; TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeIIIInnnnffffoooo will call this procedure when it is finished with the string. If the result string is stored in static memory then _p_r_i_n_t_P_r_o_c need not do anything with the _f_r_e_e_P_r_o_c_P_t_r argument. Once _p_a_r_s_e_P_r_o_c and _p_r_i_n_t_P_r_o_c have been defined and a Tk_CustomOption structure has been created for them, options of this new type may be manipulated with Tk_ConfigSpec entries whose _t_y_p_e fields are TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM and whose _c_u_s_t_o_m_P_t_r fields point to the Tk_CustomOption structure. EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEESSSS Although the explanation of TTTTkkkk____CCCCoooonnnnffffiiiigggguuuurrrreeeeWWWWiiiiddddggggeeeetttt is fairly complicated, its actual use is pretty straightforward. The easiest way to get started is to copy the code from an existing widget. The library implementation of frames (tkFrame.c) has a simple configuration table, and the library implementation of buttons (tkButton.c) has a much more complex table that uses many of the fancy _s_p_e_c_F_l_a_g_s mechanisms.
