8.1  name-message%

Superclass: canvas%

A name-message% control displays a filename that the user can click to show the filename's path and select one of the enclosing directories. Override the on-choose-directory method to handle the user's selection.

• (new name-message% (parent _) [(style _)] [(paint-callback _)] [(label _)] [(gl-config _)] [(enabled _)] [(vert-margin _)] [(horiz-margin _)] [(min-width _)] [(min-height _)] [(stretchable-width _)] [(stretchable-height _)]) -> name-message% object
     parent : frame%, dialog%, panel%, or pane% object
     style = null : list of symbols in '(border control-border combo vscroll hscroll resize-corner gl deleted no-autoclear transparent)
   paint-callback = void : procedure of two arguments: a canvas% object and a dc<%> object
     label = #f : string (up to 200 characters) or #f
   gl-config = #f : gl-config% object or #f
   enabled = #t : boolean
     vert-margin = 0 : exact integer in [0, 1000]
     horiz-margin = 0 : exact integer in [0, 1000]
     min-width = graphical minimum width : exact integer in [0, 10000]
     min-height = graphical minimum width : exact integer in [0, 10000]
     stretchable-width = #t : boolean
     stretchable-height = #t : boolean

  The style argument indicates one or more of the following styles:

  • 'border -- gives the canvas a thin border

  • 'control-border -- gives the canvas a border that is like a text-field% control

  • 'combo -- gives the canvas a combo button that is like a combo-field% control; this style is intended for use with 'control-border and not with 'hscroll or 'vscroll

  • 'hscroll -- enables horizontal scrolling (initially visible but inactive)

  • 'vscroll -- enables vertical scrolling (initially visible but inactive)

  • 'resize-corner -- leaves room for a resize control at the canvas's bottom right when only one scrollbar is visible

  • 'gl -- obsolete (every canvas is an OpenGL context where supported)

  • 'deleted -- creates the canvas as initially hidden and without affecting parent's geometry; the canvas can be made active later by calling parent's add-child method

  • 'no-autoclear -- prevents automatic erasing of the canvas before calls to on-paint

  • 'transparent -- the canvas is automatically ``erased'' before an update using it's parent window's background; the result is undefined if this flag is combined with 'no-autoclear

  The 'hscroll and 'vscroll styles create a canvas with an initially inactive scrollbar. The scrollbars are activated with either init-manual-scrollbars or init-auto-scrollbars, and they can be hidden and re-shown with show-scrollbars.

  The paint-callback argument is called by the default on-paint method, using the canvas and the DC returned by get-dc as the argument.

  The label argument names the canvas for get-label, but it is not displayed with the canvas.

  The gl-config argument determines properties of an OpenGL context for this canvas, as obtained through the canvas's drawing context. See also get-dc and get-gl-context in dc<%>.

  For information about the enabled argument, see window<%>. For information about the horiz-margin and vert-margin arguments, see subarea<%>. For information about the min-width, min-height, stretchable-width, and stretchable-height arguments, see area<%>.
