FvwmGtk(1) FVWM Modules FvwmGtk(1)
NAME
FvwmGtk - the Fvwm GTK module
SYNOPSIS
FvwmGtk is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
From within the fvwm's configuration file, FvwmGtk is spawned as
follows:
Module FvwmGtk [ name ]
or from within an fvwm pop-up menu:
DestroyMenu Module-Popup
AddToMenu Module-Popup "Modules" Title
AddToMenu Module-Popup "Gtk" Module FvwmGtk [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
The FvwmGtk module implements GTK-based alternatives to the GUI ele-
ments in fvwm, namely the builtin menus and the FvwmForm dialogs.
INVOCATION
No command line invocation is possible. FvwmGtk must be invoked by the
fvwm window manager. When invoked with the optional name argument,
name is used to find configuration commands and configuration files
instead of "FvwmGtk".
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmGtk only has options to define the content of the menus and
dialogs. This includes the labels and pixmaps to show; configuration
of the appearance must be done through the GTK rc file mechanism.
FvwmGtk gets config info from fvwm's module configuration database (see
fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) when it starts up. In addition,
FvwmGtk accepts commands from fvwm and its modules as it runs.
If the optional name is used to start FvwmGtk, name is used in all com-
mands, messages, menus and forms generated by FvwmGtk and in the con-
figuration file name. Unlike other fvwm modules, there is little rea-
son to use the optional name.
All dialogs and menus have to be defined through configuration commands
before they can be used. A dialog or menu is invoked by sending its
name to FvwmGtk. For menus, you also send the button which is to be
used.

MENUS
The following commands define menus. For all arguments named "label" in
the following menu commands, FvwmGtk looks for embedded ampersands in
the same way fvwm does for its menus.
*FvwmGtk: Menu name
Instructs FvwmGtk to append subsequent items to the menu named
by the argument. Note that you can "reopen" a menu and continue
to append to it. It is also possible to redefine a menu from
scratch, see *FvwmGtk: Destroy.
*FvwmGtk: Title label [ icon [ r_label ] ]
Appends a title to the currently open menu. If the optional
argument is given, it should be the name of an xpm file in the
ImagePath. The icon will appear to the left of the text. If
FvwmGtk has been compiled with imlib support, icon can of any
image format imlib can read. The label can contain an ampersand
to mark the following character as an accelerator to be under-
lined. Underlined accelerators work in the same way as they do
in fvwm native menus. If r_label is given, it will be right-jus-
tified.
*FvwmGtk: Item label action [ icon [ r_label ] ]
Appends an item to the currently open menu. The first argument
is the text that will appear in the item, the second argument
will be sent to fvwm when the item is activated. If the optional
argument is given, it should be the name of an xpm file in the
ImagePath. The icon will appear to the left of the text. The
label can contain an ampersand to mark the following character
as an accelerator to be underlined. Underlined accelerators
work in the same way as they do in fvwm native menus. If
r_label is given, it will be right-justified.
*FvwmGtk: Submenu label name [ icon ]
Appends an item to the currently open menu. The first argument
is the text that will appear in the item, the second argument is
the name of the sub menu that will be opened when the item is
selected. If the sub menu doesn't exist yet, it will be created.
If the optional argument is given, it should be the name of an
xpm file in the ImagePath. The icon will appear to the left of
the text. The label can contain an ampersand to mark the follow-
ing character as an accelerator to be underlined. Underlined
accelerators work in the same way as they do in fvwm native
menus.
*FvwmGtk: Tearoff
Appends a special tear-off item. Activating it turns the menu
into a permanent window; activating it once more makes the menu
disappear again.
WINDOW LISTS
Window lists are special dynamically created menus. They offer a list
of all windows managed by fvwm and send "WindowListFunc" back to fvwm
within the window context of the selected window. WindowListFunc is the
same function that is also used by fvwm for its builtin window list.
*FvwmGtk: WindowList name [ option... ]
Creates a window-list bound to name. The window-list will be
formatted according to the given options. Currently supported
are the following options which have the same meaning as for the
fvwm's builtin window list: "NoGeometry", "NoMiniIcon", "Use-
IconName", "Desk <desk>", "CurrentDesk", "Icons/NoIcons/OnlyI-
cons", "Sticky/NoSticky/OnlySticky", "Normal/NoNormal/OnlyNor-
mal", "NoDeskSort", "Alphabetic", "Function <func>". The fol-
lowing options are new: "Title <label> <icon> <r_label>". Addi-
tionally, you can specify a name pattern to match the name or
icon name of the listed windows.
DIALOGS
Dialogs consist of hierarchically organized widgets. Widgets are either
composite, ie they can contain one or more other widgets, or atomic.
Composite widgets are defined by a pair of commands denoting the start
and end of the list of child widgets. Atomic widgets are defined by
single commands. Some widgets request data from the user. These are all
given names which can be used to refer to the data.
The commands for widgets have the common form:
*FvwmGtk: Widget widget-specific args [ -- general-args ]
where the following arguments may be specified after the double hyphen:
can-default, default, focus, expand, fill and an integer argument
padding.
can-default means that the widget may become the default widget of the
dialog (ie the one being activated if the user immediately presses
Return).
default means that the widget is the initial default widget.
focus means that the widget initially has the keyboard focus.
expand, fill, padding are relevant if the widget is part of a row or
column (see the GTK documentation).
The following paragraphs explain only the widget-specific arguments.
*FvwmGtk: Dialog name title [ center ]
Starts or reopens a dialog named by the first argument. title is
used as the window title. If the optional argument center is
given, the dialog will be mapped at the center of the screen.
Otherwise it will be mapped at the mouse position.
A dialog has one child widget.
*FvwmGtk: Box [ vertical ] [ homogeneous ] [ spacing [ border ] ]
*FvwmGtk: EndBox
Start and end a composite widget which is used to group a number
of child widgets in a row or column. The arguments influence the
placement of the child widgets (for information about their
meaning, see the GTK documentation).
*FvwmGtk: Frame label [ border ]
*FvwmGtk: EndFrame
Start and end a composite widget which draws a frame labeled by
the given label around a single child widget. The optional argu-
ment determines the separation between the frame and the child.
*FvwmGtk: Label label
Adds a label widget.
*FvwmGtk: Entry name [ initial-value ]
Adds a widget which allows the user to enter a string. If given,
the initial-value is displayed initially. The actual string can
be referred to by name.
*FvwmGtk: Button label cmd ...
Adds a button widget with the given label which will trigger the
given commands when pressed. Commands can contain references to
the values of widgets in the form $(name). These references are
replaced by the actual values. The replacement is done recur-
sively, ie the values can again contain references.
Commands can be strings to send to fvwm, system commands start-
ing with and exclamation sign (which is stripped before execu-
tion) or the special command "close" to close the current dia-
log.
*FvwmGtk: CheckButton name label on-value off-value [ on ]
Adds a check button widget with the given label. The value
referred to by name will be either on-value or off-value,
depending on the state of the check button. The initial state is
off, unless the optional argument is given.
*FvwmGtk: RadioGroup name
*FvwmGtk: EndRadioGroup
Start and end a composite widget which groups a number of mutu-
ally exclusive radio buttons. The value of the enables radio
button can be referred to by name. Grouping radio buttons in
this way doesn't influence their geometry. You can put a radio
group in a row or column or even distribute it across several
rows to determine the geometry.
*FvwmGtk: RadioButton label on-value [ on ]
Adds a radio button with the given label. Its initial state is
off, unless the optional argument is given. There should proba-
bly be exactly one on radio button in a radio group. A radio
button must be child of a radio group in order to be able to
access its value.
*FvwmGtk: Notebook label
Opens a new notebook page with the given label. If there is
already an open notebook, the page is appended to it. Otherwise
a new notebook is created. A notebook page is a composite widget
that expects one child.
*FvwmGtk: EndNotebook
Closes a notebook widget.
*FvwmGtk: Color name [ initial-value ]
Adds a color selector whose initial color is specified by ini-
tial-value and whose value can be referred to by name. The ini-
tial-value can be any color specification that is accepted by
XParseColor. The returned color specifications are always of the
form "rgb:rrrr/gggg/bbbb".
*FvwmGtk: Scale name [ vertical ] value lower
upper inc page-inc page-size [ digits ]" Adds a scale.
*FvwmGtk: SpinButton name value lower
upper inc page-inc page-size climb-rate [ digits ]" Adds a spin
button.
*FvwmGtk: OptionMenu name
*FvwmGtk: EndOptionMenu
*FvwmGtk: Item label value [ on ]
Can be used to create option menus.
COMMON CONFIGURATION
The following commands can be used for menus and dialogs.
*FvwmGtk: Separator
Appends a separator to the currently open menu, row or column.
*FvwmGtk: Destroy name
Destroys the specified menu or dialog.
*FvwmGtk: RCFile file
Note that this command should be issued before defining any
menus or dialog. Hint for GNOME users: If you add instances of
this command for the standard GNOME rc files, switching themes
via the control-center will apply to FvwmGtk widgets as well,
giving a very integrated appearance of the desktop.
*FvwmGtk: IconSize [ width height ]
If FvwmGtk has been compiled with imlib support, icons will be
scaled to the size set by this command. Omitting the arguments
disables scaling. Note that there is currently no way to change
the amount of room left free for icons, thus using a width of
more than 20 will not be very useful.
COMMANDS
To invoke one of the previously defined menus or dialogs, use the fvwm
command SendToModule.
SendToModule FvwmGtk name button
makes FvwmGtk pop up the menu or dialog named by the first argu-
ment. The second argument is the button that will be used for
menu selection. For dialogs and menus which are not popped up
from a button press, you can omit the button. Examples:
Mouse 3 R A SendToModule FvwmGtk Window-Ops 3
Key F10 R A SendToModule FvwmGtk Applications-Menu
Mouse 1 R A SendToModule FvwmGtk Quit-Verify-Dialog

BUGS
The builtin menus offer many features which the GTK menus currently
don't have. None of the features of the builtin window-list have been
implemented.
