Goolbar

Any Gestalt Items template may make use of Gstripes, the »how« may differ however.

In case of the Goolbar: The Goolbar uses stripes directly by sending its internal canvas window to Gstripes it so mimic as Gstripes window.

The same »stripes« Option Database entry is used by Goolbar. »stripesCommand« and »adjustCommand« are however attributes from the Goolbar. Remember that the Goolbar mimics as a Gstripes window.

Example 6.17. Goolbar with Gstripes

   option add *Goolbar.stripes 1
   option add *Goolbar.stripesCommand toolbarStripes
   option add *Goolbar.adjustCommand  toolbarAdjust

   ...
   # with:
   proc toolbarStripes { toolbar canvas } { ... }
   proc toolbarAdjust  { toolbar canvas } { ... }

Gooleditor

Any Gooleditor uses internally a Goolbar therefore everything mentioned in Chapter 2, Goolbar applies for the Gooleditor, too.

Figure 6.40. A striped Gooleditor

Make sure that any embedded dialog ( through »customizeTemplate«) uses the same Gstripes method as the Gooleditor.

Galette

The main feature inside a Galette is a Goolbar extended with a Rtl_gridwin. See Chapter 2, Goolbar and the section called “Rtl_gridwin ”.

Figure 6.41. Galette

The Rtl_gridwin inside Galette can't be striped. The Rtl_gridwin isn't a direct ancestor of the contained Goolbar canvas and thus Gstripes would disrupt the established Z-Order. The same applies for the Rtl_tree, too.

Gistbox

Figure 6.42. Gistbox with Focus

The striped Gistbox displays a button group and striped background (white space). Unlike the Rtl_gridwin there is no need to replace the focus ring.

Rtl_gridwin inside Gistbox

Gistbox contains a Rtl_gridwin (see the section called “Rtl_gridwin ”)!

Gstripes should be disabled for every special Rtl_gridwin instances. This is already secured inside the of the Runtime Library and Gestalt Items. For example the Rtl_tree, Gistbox and Galette.

Example 6.18. Activate Gstripes for Gistbox

   option add *Gistbox.stripes 1
   option add *Gistbox*Rtl_gridwin.stripes 0
