(* This module constructs a very simple idea of "window class" within RISCOS.
* RISCOS window class implementations register the existence of each window
* with this module.
*)
(* This structure allows event-processing loops to be constructed that
* have no knowledge of what other modules are present in the program.
* For instance, the dialogue box module can contain an event-processing loop
* without reference to what other window types are present in the program.
*)

(* ************************** Claiming Events. *************************** *)
(* ------------------------- win_register_event_handler --------------------
* Description: Install an event handler function for a given window.
*
* Parameters: wimp_w -- the window's handle
* win_event_handler -- the event handler function
* void *handle -- caller-defined handle
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: This call has no effect on the window itself -- it just
* informs the win module that the supplied function should
* be called when events are delivered to the window.
* To remove a handler, call with a null function pointer,
* ie. win_register_event_handler(w,(win_event_handler)0,0)
* To catch key events for an icon on the icon bar register
* a handler for win_ICONBAR,
* ie. win_event_handler(win_ICONBAR, handler_func, handle)
* To catch load event for an icon on the icon bar register
* a handler for win_ICONBARLOAD,
* ie. win_event_handler(win_ICONBARLOAD, load_func, handle).
*
*)

(* ------------------------- win_read_event_handler ------------------------
* Description: Read current event handler for a given window, and the
* handle which it is passed.
*
* Parameters: wimp_w w -- the window's handle
* win_event_handler *p -- the handler function
* void **handle -- the handle passed to the handler function
* Returns: TRUE if given window is registered, FALSE otherwise
* Other Info: This is useful for registering an alternative event handler
* which can vet events, before passing them on to the original
* handler.
*
*)
function win_read_eventhandler(w : wimp_w;
var p : win_event_handler;

(* ------------------------- win_claim_idle_events -------------------------
* Description: Cause "idle" events to be delivered to a given window.
*
* Parameters: wimp_w -- the window's handle
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: To cancel this, call with window handle (wimp_w)-1.
*
*)

(* You can ask to vet unknown events, before they are passed to the default
* unknown event handler. These procs return TRUE if they have dealt with the
* event.
*)
(* --------------------- win_add_unknown_event_processor -------------------
* Description: Add a handler for unknown events onto the front of the
* queue of such handlers.
*
* Parameters: win_unknown_event_processor -- handler function
* void *handle -- passed to handler on call
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: The win module maintains a list of unknown event handlers.
* An unknown event results in the "head of the list" function
* being called; if this function doesn't deal with the event
* it is passed on to the next in the list, and so on.
* Handler functios should return a Boolean result to show
* if they dealt with the event, or if it should be passed on.
* "Known" events are as follows:
* ENULL, EREDRAW, ECLOSE, EOPEN, EPTRLEAVE,
* EPTRENTER, EKEY, ESCROLL, EBUT
* and ESEND/ESENDWANTACK for the following msg types
* MCLOSEDOWN, MDATASAVE, MDATALOAD, MHELPREQUEST
* All other events are considered "unknown"
* Note: if none of the unknown event handlers deals with the
* event, then it is passed on to the unknown event claiming
* window (registered by win_claim_unknown_events()). If
* there is no such claimer, then the unknown event is
* ignored.
*
*)

(* ------------------ win_remove_unknown_event_processor -------------------
* Description: Removes the given unknown event handler with the given
* handle from the stack of handlers.
*
* Parameters: win_unknown_event_processor -- the handler to be removed
* void *handle -- its handle
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: The handler to be removed can be anyway in the stack
* (not necessarily at the top).
*
*)

(* ---------------------- win_idle_event_claimer ---------------------------
* Description: Informs caller of which window is claiming idle events.
*
* Parameters: void
* Returns: Handle of window claiming idle events.
* Other Info: Returns (wimp_w)-1, if no window is claiming idle events.
*
*)

(* ---------------------- win_claim_unknown_events -------------------------
* Description: Cause any unknown, or non-window-specific events to be
* delivered to a given window.
*
* Parameters: wimp_w -- handle of window to which unknown events should
* be delivered
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: Calling with (wimp_w)-1 cancels this
* See win_add_unknown_event_processor() for details of which
* events are "known".
*
*)
procedure win_claim_unknown_events(w : wimp_w); extern;
(* ------------------------- win_unknown_event_claimer ---------------------
* Description: Informs caller of which window is claiming unknown events.
*
* Parameters: void
* Returns: Handle of window claiming unknown events.
* Other Info: Return of (wimp_w)-1 means no claimer registered.
*
*)

(* ********************************* Menus. ****************************** *)
(* ---------------------------- win_setmenuh -------------------------------
* Description: Attaches the given menu structure to the given window
*
* Parameters: wimp_w -- handle of window
* void *handle -- pointer to menu structure
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: Mainly used by higher level RISC_OSlib routines to attach
* menus to windows (eg. event_attachmenu()).
*
*)
procedure win_setmenuh(w : wimp_w; handle : pointer); extern;
(* --------------------------- win_getmenuh --------------------------------
* Description: Returns a pointer to the menu structure attached to given
* window.
*
* Parameters: wimp_w -- handle of window
* Returns: pointer to the attached menu (0 if no menu attached).
* Other Info: As for win_setmenuh(), this is used mainly by higher level
* RISC_OSlib routines (eg. event_attachmenu()).
*
*)

(* ************************** Event Processing. ************************** *)
(* -------------------------- win_processevent -----------------------------
* Description: Delivers an event to its relevant window, if such a window
* has been registered with this module (via
* win_register_event_handler()).
*
* Parameters: wimp_eventstr* -- pointer to the event which has occurred
* Returns: true if an event handler (registered with this module)
* has dealt with the event, false otherwise.
* Other Info: the main client for this routine is event_process(), which
* uses it to deliver an event to its appropriate window.
* Keyboard events are delivered to the current owner of the
* caret.
*
*)
function win_processevent(e : wimp_eventstr_ptr) : boolean; extern;
(* ****************************** Termination. *************************** *)
(* --------------------------- win_activeinc -------------------------------
* Description: Increment by one the win module's idea of the number of
* active windows owned by a program.
*
* Parameters: void
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: Note: event_process() calls exit() on behalf of the program
* when the number of active windows reaches zero
* Programs which wish to remain running even when they have
* no active windows, should ensure that win_activeinc() is
* called once before creating any windows, so that the no.
* of active windows is always >= 1. This is done for you
* if you use baricon() to install your program's icon on the
* iconbar.
*
*)
procedure win_activeinc; extern;
(* ---------------------------- win_activedec ------------------------------
* Description: Decrements by one the win module's idea of the number of
* active windows owned by a program.
*
* Parameters: void
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: See note in win_activeinc() regarding program termination.
*
*)
procedure win_activedec; extern;
(* ---------------------------- win_activeno -------------------------------
* Description: Informs the caller of the number of active windows owned
* by your program.
*
* Parameters: void
* Returns: no. of active windows owned by program.
* Other Info: This is given by (no. of calls to win_activeinc()) minus
* (no. of calls to win_activedec())
* Note that modules in RISCOSlib itself may have made calls
* to win_activeinc() and win_activedec().
*
*)
function win_activeno : integer; extern;
(* -------------------------- win_give_away_caret --------------------------
* Description: gives the caret away to the open window at the top of the
* WIMP's window stack (if that window is owned by your
* program).
*
* Parameters: void
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: If the top window is interested it will take the caret
* If not then nothing happens.
* Note: only works if polling is done using the wimpt module,
* which is the case if your main inner loop goes something
* like: while (TRUE)
* event_process();
*
*)
procedure win_give_away_caret; extern;
(* ------------------------------ win_settitle -----------------------------
* Description: changes the title displayed in a given window
*
* Parameters: wimp_w w -- given window's handle
* char *newtitle -- null-terminated string giving new
* title for window
*
* Returns: void.
* Other Info: The title icon of the given window must be indirected text
* This will change the title used by all windows created
* from the given window's template if you have used the
* template module (since the Window manager uses your address
* space to hold indirected text icons). To avoid this the
* window can be created from a copy of the template, ie.
* template *t = template_copy(template_find("name"));
* wimp_create_wind(t->window, &w);
*
*)
procedure win_settitle(w : wimp_w; newtitle : string); extern;
(* ------------------------------ win_init ---------------------------------
* Description: initialise the centralised window event system
*
* Parameters: void
* Returns: TRUE if initialisation went OK.
* Other Info: If you use wimpt_init(), to start your application, then
* this call is made for you.
*
*)
