operations of widget creation: +.IP \(bu 5 +Checks to see if the class_initialize procedure has been called for this class +and for all superclasses and, if not, calls those necessary in a +superclass-to-subclass order. +.IP \(bu 5 +Allocates memory for the widget instance. +.IP \(bu 5 +If the parent is a subclass of +.ZN constraintWidgetClass , +it allocates memory for the parent's constraints +and stores the address of this memory into the constraints field. +.IP \(bu 5 +Initializes the core nonresource data fields +(for example, parent and visible). +.IP \(bu 5 +Initializes the resource fields (for example, background_pixel) +by using the resource lists specified for this class and all superclasses. +.IP \(bu 5 +If the parent is a subclass of +.ZN constraintWidgetClass , +it initializes the resource fields of the constraints record +by using the constraint resource list specified for the parent's class +and all superclasses up to +.ZN constraintWidgetClass . +.IP \(bu 5 +Calls the initialize procedures for the widget by starting at the +.ZN Core +initialize procedure on down to the widget's initialize procedure. +.IP \(bu 5 +If the parent is a subclass of +.ZN compositeWidgetClass , +it puts the widget into its parent's children list by calling its parent's +insert_child procedure. +For further information, +see Section 3.5. +.IP \(bu 5 +If the parent is a subclass of +.ZN constraintWidgetClass , +it calls the constraint initialize procedures, +starting at +.ZN constraintWidgetClass +on down to the parent's constraint initialize procedure. +.LP +Note that you can determine the number of arguments in an argument list +by using the +.ZN XtNumber +macro. +For further information, see Section 11.1. +.LP +The +.ZN XtCreateManagedWidget +function is a convenience routine that calls +.ZN XtCreateWidget +and +.ZN XtManageChild . +.LP +The +.ZN XtDestroyWidget +function provides the only method of destroying a widget, +including widgets that need to destroy themselves. +It can be called at any time, +including from an application callback routine of the widget being destroyed. +This requires a two-phase destroy process in order to avoid dangling +references to destroyed widgets. +.LP +In phase one, +.ZN XtDestroyWidget +performs the following: +.IP \(bu 5 +If the being_destroyed field of the widget is +.ZN True , +it returns immediately. +.IP \(bu 5 +Recursively descends the widget tree and +sets the being_destroyed field to +.ZN True +for the widget and all children. +.IP \(bu 5 +Adds the widget to a list of widgets (the destroy list) that should be +destroyed when it is safe to do so. +.LP +Entries on the destroy list satisfy the invariant that +if w2 occurs after w1 on the destroy list then w2 is not a descendent of w1. +(A descendant refers to both normal and pop-up children.) +.LP +Phase two occurs when all procedures that should execute as a result of +the current event have been called (including all procedures registered with +the event and translation managers), +that is, when the current invocation of +.ZN XtDispatchEvent +is about to return or immediately if not in +.ZN XtDispatchEvent . +.LP +In phase two, +.ZN XtDestroyWidget +performs the following on each entry in the destroy list: +.IP \(bu 5 +Calls the destroy callback procedures registered on the widget +(and all descendants) in post-order (it calls children callbacks +before parent callbacks). +.IP \(bu 5 +If the widget's parent is a subclass of +.ZN compositeWidgetClass +and if the parent is not being destroyed, +it calls +.ZN XtUnmanageChild +on the widget and then calls the widget's parent's delete_child procedure +(see Section 3.4). +.IP \(bu 5 +If the widget's parent is a subclass of +.ZN constraintWidgetClass , +it calls the constraint destroy procedure for the parent, +then the parent's superclass, +until finally it calls the constraint destroy procedure for +.ZN constraintWidgetClass . +.IP \(bu 5 +Calls the destroy methods for the widget (and all descendants) +in post-order. +For each such widget, +it calls the destroy procedure declared in the widget class, +then the destroy procedure declared in its superclass, +until finally it calls the destroy procedure declared in the Core +class record. +.IP \(bu 5 +Calls +.ZN XDestroyWindow +if the widget is realized (that is, has an X window). +The server recursively destroys all descendant windows. +.IP \(bu 5 +Recursively descends the tree and deallocates all pop-up widgets, constraint +records, callback lists and, if the widget is a subclass of +.ZN compositeWidgetClass , +children. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +XtAppCreateShell(3Xt), +XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt) +.br +\fI\*(xT\fP +.br +\fI\*(xL\fP |
