Chapter 12. Windows in PsyScope

12.2 Window Callback Record


Each open interface window should register itself with a record having this structure:

	typedef struct {
		short    verify;		
		unsigned autoEdit:1;
		unsigned readOnly:1;
		unsigned hasLists:1;
		unsigned noAutoList:1;
		unsigned noPurgeSeg:1;
		unsigned notifyOnly:1;
		unsigned needTimeIconified:1;
		unsigned reserved:7;		
		unsigned closeWithConfig:2;
		long     a4;	
		void     (*UpdateProc)(WindowPtr);
		short    (*EventProc)(WindowPtr, EventRecord *);
		TEHandle text;	
		short    (*CloseProc)(WindowPtr);
		short    (*CommandHook)(char, WindowPtr, long);
		void     (*NeedTimeProc)(WindowPtr);
		void     (*PrepareForChange)(WindowPtr);
		void     (*RestoreAfterChange)(WindowPtr);
		void     (*ZoomProc)(WindowPtr, int, Point);
		short    (*ModTitleProc)(WindowPtr, int);
		void     (*ActivateProc)(WindowPtr, int);
		void     (*EditProc)(WindowPtr, int, Ptr);
		long     pasteType;
		long     icon;
		long     data;
	} WindowProcRec;
 

The name of the verify field is an artifact. By default, it should be set to 42. If it is anything else, it is assumed to be a `DLOG' ID to be used with Balloon Help (not yet implemented); in this case, icon must also be set so that a resource file ID is available.

The autoEdit field specifies whether the menu handler should automatically take care of text-editing (cut and paste) for active text items in the dialog. The readOnly flag specifies that no pasting should occur in the active item. The hasLists field specifies whether the dialog uses lists through the PsyScope list utilities, for auto-editing purposes. pasteType refers to the type of items that may be pasted into the currently active list (if it is a list, and not a text field). The noAutoList flag specifies whether automatic menu enabling should be overriden if a list item is active. The notifyOnly field specifies that the EditProc should only be called to send an edit_Changed message (see below). The value of any of these flags can change at any time.

The noPurgeSeg field specifies that the code segment in which the CloseProc exists should not be purged after the dialog is closed, but this applies only if a4 is 0.

If the closeWithConfig flag is TRUE, the window will be closed when the script is closed; if it is FALSE, PrepareForChange and RestoreAfterChange will be called at the appropriate times.

If a4 is non-zero, the value of the A4 register will be set to this field's value before any of the window's callbacks are called. This is useful for asynchronous PSYX windows living in the A4 world (see "1.3.1.2 Stand-alone code resources").

The text field should contain the handle to the currently active text record in the dialog, so that the caret can be blinked.

rsvd3 should be initialized to 0.

The data field may be used for anything.

The other fields in the record are pointer to C functions, to be called by the Interface Manager at the appropriate times. None of the functions are required; set the pointer to NULL to default the function. Below is a list of when each proc is called and how each proc should behave. All of the functions take a WindowPtr argument, which will be the window for which the proc is being called (the one owning the record).
