BEGIN
Queue: TYPE = REF QueueObj;
QueueObj: TYPE;
Create:
PROC [pushModel:
BOOL ←
TRUE, propList: List.AList ←
NIL]
RETURNS [Queue];
Creates a queue, a context in which mouse buttons are serialized. All menu item and
mouse button procs defined in the context of this queue will be strictly serialized, i.e.
the procs will be called in the order that the user clicked, and each proc will completely
finish execution before the next one starts.
If pushModel = FALSE, then actions are to be removed from the queue by a client process,
using DequeueAction (below), rather than by this package.
If pushModel = TRUE, client actions will be invoked by a process that will include propList on its property list.
The client process should be prepared to handle ABORTED.
CreateMenuEntry:
PROC [q: Queue,
name: Rope.
ROPE,
proc: Menus.MenuProc,
clientData:
REF
ANY ←
NIL,
documentation:
REF
ANY ←
NIL,
fork:
BOOL ←
TRUE,
guarded:
BOOL ←
FALSE
]
RETURNS [Menus.MenuEntry];
Identical to Menus.CreateEntry, except for the first argument q. Defines a menu item that is interpreted in the context of q.
CreateButton:
PROC [q: Queue,
info: ViewerClasses.ViewerRec ← [],
proc: Buttons.ButtonProc,
clientData:
REF
ANY ←
NIL,
fork:
BOOL ←
TRUE,
font: Imager.Font ←
NIL,
documentation:
REF
ANY ←
NIL,
guarded:
BOOL ←
FALSE,
paint:
BOOL ←
TRUE
]
RETURNS [Buttons.Button];
Identical to Buttons.Create, except for the first argument q. Defines a button that is interpreted in the context of q.
QueueClientAction:
PROC [q: Queue, proc:
PROC [
REF
ANY], data:
REF
ANY];
Allows client to queue actions other than the menu item clicks and button clicks, which
are user-initiated. The client's proc will be called after any user clicks before the call,
and before any user clicks after the call.
Action:
TYPE =
RECORD [
SELECT type: *
FROM
client => [
proc: PROC [REF ANY],
data: REF ANY
],
user => [
proc: Menus.MenuProc,
parent: REF ANY, clientData: REF ANY,
mouseButton: Menus.MouseButton, shift, control: BOOL
]
ENDCASE
DequeueAction:
PROC [q: Queue]
RETURNS [Action];
Waits for an action to appear, then returns it.
Called only for "pull model" queues.
Flush:
PROC [q: Queue];
Flushes all pending button presses and menu selections in the context of q. This procedure
can be called, e.g., when some illegal actions suggests the user is confused an further
mouse-ahead should be ignored.
FlushWithCallback:
PROC [q: Queue, proc:
PROC[Action] ←
NIL];
Like Flush, but applies proc to each action being flushed.
