DAD: Dynamic Attribute Dialogs

The table tree widget is a table containint cells arranged in a fixed number of columns. Each cell is a dynamically allocated char * string.

Helper macros for widget creation

These macros, defined in hid_dad.h, are used to fill up the last created (tree) widget with initial data. They return a row pointer. If the row pointer is NULL, root is used - in this case insert means inserting at the beginning of the row list, append means append at the end of the row list.

• PCB_DAD_TREE_APPEND - append a sibling row after an existing row
• PCB_DAD_TREE_APPEND_UNDER - append a child node (at the end of the child list) under an existing row.
• PCB_DAD_TREE_INSERT - insert a new sibling row before an existing row
• PCB_DAD_TREE_SET_CB - install an user callback function on a tree event

Inline functions for manipulating the tree runtime

When the tree widget is already created, typically when the dialog box is already running, the code can use hid_dad_tree.h for reading or changing cells or rows of the tree. Any change is immediately reflected on the GUI. Please refer to the comments in hid_dad_tree.h for details on the functions and arguments.

Events and callbacks

The function set with RND_DAD_CHANGE_CB() is called when a row is activated by double click (mouse) or the enter key (keyboard).
