Discussion
The XbaeMatrix widget creates an editable 2D array of string data (cells) similar to a spreadsheet. All values must be converted to string type before being set with WtTable.
note | Rogue Wave has ported a subset of the Widget Toolbox (Wt) functionality that is available for Motif to Microsoft Windows. Because the Widget Toolbox under Windows is not a complete implementation, we recommend that Windows developers use the PV‑WAVE Widgets (Ww) layer or the VDA Tools when developing GUI applications. |
XbaeMatrix Widget Documentation
The Motif version of the XbaeMatrix widget was originally developed by Andrew Wason of Bellcore.
Complete documentation for the XbaeMatrix widget is available in the PostScript file matrix_motif.ps, which you can print on any PostScript printer. This file is in:
(UNIX) WAVE_DIR/docs/widgets
Where WAVE_DIR is the main PV‑WAVE directory.
Refer to this document for detailed information on the MbaeMatrix widget’s resources and callbacks.
XbaeMatrix Widget Callbacks
See Appendix B: Motif Callback Parameters in the PV‑WAVE Application Developer’s Guide for information on the required parameters for all widget callbacks. The XbaeMatrix widget’s callback routines and their parameters are documented in the file matrix_motif.ps and discussed in the previous section. Refer to that document for information on the table widget’s callbacks.
Example
Values in the table are modified (set) through a call to WtTable.

PRO ButtonCB, w, which
COMMON Widgets, table
; When a button is pressed, modify the table with a call to
; WtTable.
CASE which OF
1: PRINT, WtGet(table,'cells',Nrows = 2, Ncols = 3)
2: status = WtTable('SetCell', table, 0, 0, 'New Font')ENDCASE
END
PRO LeaveCellCB, w, data, n, reason, event, r, c, value, doit
; This callback is called just before an edit to a cell is
; committed. For more information on XbaeMatrix widget
; callbacks and their parameters, see the previous section
; "XbaeMatrix Widget Callbacks".
PRINT, "leaveCellCallback ", r, c, value
END
PRO ModifyVerifyCB, w, data, n,reason, event, $

; This callback is called while a cell is being edited. For
; more information on XbaeMatrix widget callbacks and their
