Tk_GetScrollInfo: parse arguments for scrolling commands
NAME
Tk_GetScrollInfo, Tk_GetScrollInfoObj - parse arguments for scrolling commands
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> int Tk_GetScrollInfo(interp, argc, argv, dblPtr, intPtr) int Tk_GetScrollInfoObj(interp, objc, objv, dblPtr, intPtr)
ARGUMENTS
- Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error reporting.
- int argc (in) Number of strings in argv array.
- const char *argv[] (in) Argument strings. These represent the entire widget command, of which the first word is typically the widget name and the second word is typically xview or yview.
- int objc (in) Number of Tcl_Obj's in objv array.
- Tcl_Obj *const objv[] (in) Argument objects. These represent the entire widget command, of which the first word is typically the widget name and the second word is typically xview or yview.
- double *dblPtr (out) Filled in with fraction from moveto option, if any.
-
int *intPtr (out)
Filled in with line or page count from scroll option, if any.
The value may be negative.
DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetScrollInfo parses the arguments expected by widget scrolling commands such as xview and yview. It receives the entire list of words that make up a widget command and parses the words starting with argv[2]. The words starting with argv[2] must have one of the following forms:
-
moveto fraction scroll number units scroll number pages
Any of the moveto, scroll, units, and pages keywords may be abbreviated. If argv has the moveto form, TK_SCROLL_MOVETO is returned as result and *dblPtr is filled in with the fraction argument to the command, which must be a proper real value. If argv has the scroll form, TK_SCROLL_UNITS or TK_SCROLL_PAGES is returned and *intPtr is filled in with the number value, which must be a proper integer. If an error occurs in parsing the arguments, TK_SCROLL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in interp->result.
Tk_GetScrollInfoObj is identical in function to Tk_GetScrollInfo. However, Tk_GetScrollInfoObj accepts Tcl_Obj style arguments, making it more appropriate for use with new development.
