(V36) SYNOPSIS gad = CreateContext(glistpointer); D0 A0 struct Gadget *CreateContext(struct Gadget **); FUNCTION Creates a place for GadTools to store any context data it might need for your window. In reality, an unselectable invisible gadget is created, with room for the context data. This function also establishes the linkage from a glist type pointer to the individual gadget pointers. Call this function before any of the other gadget creation calls. INPUTS glistptr - Address of a pointer to a Gadget, which was previously set to NULL. When all the gadget creation is done, you may use that pointer as your NewWindow.FirstGadget, or in intuition.library/AddGList(), intuition.library/RefreshGList(), FreeGadgets(), etc. RESULT gad - Pointer to context gadget, or NULL if failure. EXAMPLE struct Gadget *gad; struct Gadget *glist = NULL; gad = CreateContext(&glist); /* Other creation calls go here */ if (gad) { myNewWindow.FirstGadget = glist; if ( myWindow = OpenWindow(&myNewWindow) ) { GT_RefreshWindow(win); /* other stuff */ CloseWindow(myWindow); } } FreeGadgets(glist); NOTES BUGS SEE ALSO gadtools.library/CreateGadgetA gadtools.library/CreateGadgetA NAME CreateGadgetA -- Allocate and initialize a gadtools gadget.

GTTX_CopyText (BOOL) - This flag instructs the text-display gadget to copy the supplied text string, instead of using only pointer to the string. This only works for the initial value of GTTX_Text set at CreateGadget() time. If you subsequently change GTTX_Text, the new text will be referenced by pointer, not copied. Do not use this tag with a NULL GTTX_Text. GTTX_Border (BOOL) - If TRUE, this flag asks for a recessed border to be placed around the gadget. RESULT gad - pointer to the new gadget, or NULL if the allocation failed or if previous was NULL. EXAMPLE NOTES Note that the ng_VisualInfo and ng_TextAttr fields of the NewGadget structure must be set to valid VisualInfo and TextAttr pointers, or this function will fail. Starting with V37, string and integer gadgets have the GFLG_TABCYCLE feature automatically. If the user presses Tab or Shift-Tab while in a string or integer gadget, the next or previous one in sequence will be activated. You will hear a GADGETUP with a code of 0x09. Use {GA_TabCycle, FALSE} to supress this.

(V36) CreateMenus -- Varargs stub for CreateMenus(). (V36) SYNOPSIS menu = CreateMenusA(newmenu, taglist) D0 A0 A1 struct Menu *CreateMenusA(struct NewMenu *, struct TagItem *); menu = CreateMenus(newmenu, firsttag, ...) struct Menu *CreateMenus(struct NewMenu *, Tag, ...); FUNCTION CreateMenusA() allocates and initializes a complete menu structure based on the supplied array of NewMenu structures. Optionally, CreateMenusA() can allocate and initialize a complete set of menu items and sub-items for a single menu title. This is dictated by the contents of the array of NewMenus. INPUTS newmenu - Pointer to an array of initialized struct NewMenus. taglist - Pointer to a TagItem list. TAGS GTMN_FrontPen (UBYTE) - Pen number to be used for menu text. (defaults to zero). GTMN_FullMenu (BOOL) - (GadTools V37 and higher only) Requires that the NewMenu specification describes a complete menu strip, not a fragment. If a fragment is found, CreateMenusA() will fail with a secondary error of GTMENU_INVALID. (defaults to FALSE). GTMN_SecondaryError (ULONG *) - (GadTools V37 and higher only) Supply a pointer to a NULL-initialized ULONG to receive a descriptive error code. Possible values: GTMENU_INVALID - NewMenu structure describes an illegal menu. (CreateMenusA() will fail with a NULL result). GTMENU_TRIMMED - NewMenu structure has too many menus, items, or subitems (CreateMenusA() will succeed, returning a trimmed-down menu structure). GTMENU_NOMEM - CreateMenusA() ran out of memory. RESULT menu - Pointer to the resulting initialized menu structure (or the resulting FirstItem), with all the links for menu items and subitems in place. The result will be NULL if CreateMenusA() could not allocate memory for the menus, or if the NewMenu array had an illegal arrangement (eg. NM_SUB following NM_TITLE). (see also the GTMN_SecondaryError tag above). EXAMPLE NOTES The strings you supply for menu text are not copied, and must be preserved for the life of the menu. The resulting menus have no positional information. You will want to call LayoutMenusA() (or LayoutMenuItemsA()) to supply that. CreateMenusA() automatically provides you with a UserData field for each menu, menu-item or sub-item. Use the GTMENU_USERDATA(menu) or GTMENUITEM_USERDATA(menuitem) macro to access it. BUGS At present, if you put images into menus using IM_ITEM or IM_SUB for a NewMenu->Type, the image you supply must be an ordinary struct Image. You may not use a 'custom image' (eg. one obtained from a boopsi image-class).

INPUTS rport - The RastPort into which the box is to be drawn. left - The left edge of the box. top - The top edge of the box. width - The width of the box. height - The height of the box. taglist - Pointer to a TagItem list. TAGS GTBB_Recessed (BOOL): Set to anything for a recessed-looking box. If absent, the box defaults, it would be raised. GT_VisualInfo (APTR): You MUST supply the value you obtained from an earlier call to GetVisualInfoA(). RESULT None. EXAMPLE NOTES DrawBevelBox() is a rendering operation, not a gadget. That means you must refresh it at the appropriate time, like any other rendering operation.

This function call permits the GadTools gadgets to refresh themselves at the correct time. Call GT_EndRefresh() function when done. INPUTS win - Pointer to Window structure for which a IDCMP_REFRESHWINDOW IDCMP event was received. RESULT None. EXAMPLE NOTES The nature of GadTools precludes the use of the IDCMP flag WFLG_NOCAREREFRESH. You must handle IDCMP_REFRESHWINDOW events in at least the minimal way, namely: case IDCMP_REFRESHWINDOW: GT_BeginRefresh(win); GT_EndRefresh(win, TRUE); break; BUGS SEE ALSO intuition.library/BeginRefresh() gadtools.library/GT_EndRefresh gadtools.library/GT_EndRefresh NAME GT_EndRefresh -- End refreshing friendly to GadTools.

(V36) SYNOPSIS modimsg = GT_FilterIMsg(imsg) D0 A1 struct IntuiMessage *GT_FilterIMsg(struct IntuiMessage *); FUNCTION NOTE WELL: Extremely few programs will actually need this function. You almost certainly should be using GT_GetIMsg() and GT_ReplyIMsg() only, and not GT_FilterIMsg() and GT_PostFilterIMsg(). GT_FilterIMsg() takes the supplied IntuiMessage and asks the Gadget Toolkit to consider and possibly act on it. Returns NULL if the message was only of significance to a GadTools gadget (i.e. not to you), else returns a pointer to a modified IDCMP message, which may contain additional information. You should examine the Class, Code, and IAddress fields of the returned message to learn what happened. Do not make interpretations based on the original imsg. You should use GT_PostFilterIMsg() to revert to the original IntuiMessage once you are done with the modified one. INPUTS imsg - An IntuiMessage you obtained from a Window's UserPort. RESULT modimsg - A modified IntuiMessage, possibly with extra information from GadTools, or NULL. EXAMPLE NOTES BUGS SEE ALSO GT_GetIMsg(), GT_PostFilterIMsg() gadtools.library/GT_GetIMsg gadtools.library/GT_GetIMsg NAME GT_GetIMsg -- Get an IntuiMessage, with GadTools processing. (V36) SYNOPSIS imsg = GT_GetIMsg(intuiport) D0 A0 struct IntuiMessage *GT_GetIMsg(struct MsgPort *); FUNCTION Use GT_GetIMsg() in place of the usual exec.library/GetMsg() when reading IntuiMessages from your window's UserPort. If needed, the GadTools dispatcher will be invoked, and suitable processing will be done for gadget actions. This function returns a pointer to a modified IntuiMessage (which is a copy of the original, possibly with some supplementary information from GadTools). If there are no messages (or if the only messages are meaningful only to GadTools, NULL will be returned. INPUTS intuiport - The Window->UserPort of a window that is using the Gadget Toolkit. RESULT imsg - Pointer to modified IntuiMessage, or NULL if there are no applicable messages. EXAMPLE NOTES Be sure to use GT_ReplyIMsg() and not exec.library/ReplyMsg() on messages obtained with GT_GetIMsg(). If you intend to do more with the resulting message than read its fields, act on it, and reply it, you may find GT_FilterIMsg() more appropriate. BUGS SEE ALSO GT_ReplyIMsg(), GT_FilterIMsg() gadtools.library/GT_PostFilterIMsg gadtools.library/GT_PostFilterIMsg NAME GT_PostFilterIMsg -- Return the unfiltered message after GT_FilterIMsg() was called, and clean up. (V36) SYNOPSIS imsg = GT_PostFilterIMsg(modimsg) D0 A1 struct IntuiMessage *GT_PostFilterIMsg(struct IntuiMessage *); FUNCTION NOTE WELL: Extremely few programs will actually need this function. You almost certainly should be using GT_GetIMsg() and GT_ReplyIMsg() only, and not GT_FilterIMsg() and GT_PostFilterIMsg(). Performs any clean-up necessitated by a previous call to GT_FilterIMsg(). The original IntuiMessage is now yours to handle. Do not interpret the fields of the original IntuiMessage, but rather use only the one you got from GT_FilterIMsg(). You may only do message related things at this point, such as queueing it up or replying it. Since you got the message with exec.library/GetMsg(), your responsibilities do include replying it with exec.library/ReplyMsg(). This function may be safely called with a NULL parameter. INPUTS modimsg - A modified IntuiMessage obtained with GT_FilterIMsg(). RESULT imsg - A pointer to the original IntuiMessage, if GT_FilterIMsg() returned non-NULL. EXAMPLE NOTES Be sure to use exec.library/ReplyMsg() on the original IntuiMessage you obtained with GetMsg(), (which is the what you passed to GT_FilterIMsg()), and not on the parameter of this function.

After you have opened your window, you must call this function. Or, if you have opened your window without gadgets, you add the gadgets with intuition.library/AddGList(), refresh them using intuition.library/RefreshGList(), then call this function. You should not need this function at other times. INPUTS win - Pointer to the Window containing GadTools gadgets. req - Pointer to requester, or NULL if not a requester (currently ignored - use NULL). RESULT None.

INPUTS menuitem - Pointer to first MenuItem in a linked list of items. vi - Pointer returned by GetVisualInfoA(). taglist - Pointer to a TagItem list. TAGS GTMN_TextAttr (struct TextAttr *) - Text Attribute to use for menu-items and sub-items. If not supplied, the screen's font will be used. This font must be openable via OpenFont() when this function is called. GTMN_Menu (struct Menu *) - Pointer to the Menu structure whose FirstItem is the MenuItem supplied above. If the menu items are such that they need to be columnized or shifted, the Menu structure is needed to perform the complete calculation. It is suggested you always provide this information. RESULT success - TRUE if successful, false otherwise (signifies that the TextAttr wasn't openable). EXAMPLE NOTES BUGS If a menu ends up being wider than the whole screen, it will run off the right-hand side.

(V36) LayoutMenus -- Varargs stub for LayoutMenusA(). (V36) SYNOPSIS success = LayoutMenusA(menu, vi, taglist) D0 A0 A1 A2 BOOL LayoutMenusA(struct Menu *, APTR, struct TagItem *); success = LayoutMenus(menu, vi, firsttag, ...) BOOL LayoutMenus(struct Menu *, APTR, Tag, ...); FUNCTION Lays out all the menus, menu items and sub-items in the supplied menu according to the supplied visual information and tag parameters. This routine attempts to columnize and/or shift the MenuItems in the event that a menu would be too tall or too wide. INPUTS menu - Pointer to menu obtained from CreateMenusA(). vi - Pointer returned by GetVisualInfoA(). taglist - Pointer to a TagItem list. TAGS GTMN_TextAttr (struct TextAttr *) - Text Attribute to use for menu-items and sub-items. If not supplied, the screen's font will be used. This font must be openable via OpenFont() when this function is called. RESULT success - TRUE if successful, false otherwise (signifies that the TextAttr wasn't openable). EXAMPLE NOTES When using this function, there is no need to also call LayoutMenuItemsA(). BUGS If a menu ends up being wider than the whole screen, it will run off the right-hand side.
