\fBXmProcessTraversal\fP \(em A function that determines which component receives keyboard events when a widget has the focus
.iX "XmProcessTraversal"
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
.nf
#include <Xm/Xm\&.h>
\fBBoolean \fBXmProcessTraversal\fP\fR(
\fBWidget \fBwidget\fR\fR,
\fBXmTraversalDirection \fBdirection\fR\fR);
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmProcessTraversal\fP determines which component of a hierarchy
receives keyboard events when the hierarchy that contains the given
widget has keyboard focus\&.
.PP
\fBXmProcessTraversal\fP changes focus only when the keyboard focus
policy of the widget hierarchy is explicit\&.
If the \fBXmNkeyboardFocusPolicy\fP of the nearest shell ancestor of the
given widget is not \fBXmEXPLICIT\fP, \fBXmProcessTraversal\fP
returns False without making any focus changes\&.
.IP "\fIwidget\fP" 10
Specifies the widget ID of the widget whose hierarchy is to be
traversed
.IP "\fIdirection\fP" 10
Specifies the direction of traversal
.SS "DEFINITIONS"
.PP
In order to be eligible to receive keyboard focus when the shell\&'s
\fBXmNkeyboardFocusPolicy\fP is \fBXmEXPLICIT\fP, a widget or gadget
must meet the following conditions:
.IP "   \(bu" 6
The widget and its ancestors are not in the process of being destroyed\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
The widget and its ancestors are \fIsensitive\fP\&.
A widget is sensitive when its \fBXmNsensitive\fP and
\fBXmNancestorSensitive\fP resources are both True\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
The \fBXmNtraversalOn\fP resource for the widget and its ancestors is
True\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
The widget is viewable\&.
This means that the widget and its ancestors are managed, realized, and
(except for gadgets) mapped\&.
Furthermore, in general, some part of the widget\&'s rectangular area must
be unobscured by the widget\&'s ancestors\&. If an application unmaps a
widget that has its \fBXmNmappedWhenManaged\fP resource set to True, the
result is undefined\&.
.IP "" 10
In a ScrolledWindow with an \fBXmNscrollingPolicy\fP of
\fBXmAUTOMATIC\fP, a widget that is obscured because it is not within
the clip window may be able to receive focus if some part of the widget
is within the work area and if an \fBXmNtraverseObscuredCallback\fP
routine can make the widget at least partially visible by scrolling the
window\&.
.PP
In general only primitives, gadgets, and Drawing Area are eligible to
receive focus\&.
Most managers cannot receive focus even if they meet all these
conditions\&.
.PP
The \fIdirection\fP argument identifies the kind of traversal action to
take\&.
The descriptions of these actions below refer to traversable
non-tab-group widgets and traversable tab groups\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
A traversable non-tab-group widget is a widget that is not a tab group
and that meets all the conditions for receiving focus described above\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
A traversable tab group widget is a tab group widget that meets the same
conditions, except that a manager that is a tab group and meets the
other conditions is also eligible for traversal as long as it contains a
descendant that can receive focus\&.
.PP
A tab group is a widget whose \fBXmNnavigationType\fP is:
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmTAB_GROUP\fP or \fBXmSTICKY_TAB_GROUP\fP, if the hierarchy (up to
the nearest shell ancestor) that contains the widget has no widget whose
\fBXmNnavigationType\fP is \fBXmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP\fP or \fBXmSTICKY_TAB_GROUP\fP, if the
hierarchy (up to the nearest shell ancestor) that contains the widget
has any widget whose \fBXmNnavigationType\fP is
\fBXmEXCLUSIVE_TAB_GROUP\fP
.SS "TRAVERSAL ACTIONS"
.PP
The hierarchy to be traversed is that containing the \fIwidget\fP
argument\&.
This hierarchy is traversed only up to the nearest shell;
\fBXmProcessTraversal\fP does not move focus from one shell to another\&.
If the shell containing \fIwidget\fP does not currently have the focus,
any change that \fBXmProcessTraversal\fP makes to the element with focus
within that shell does not take effect until the next time the shell
receives focus\&.
.PP
\fBXmProcessTraversal\fP begins the traversal action from the widget in
the hierarchy that currently has keyboard focus or that last had focus
when the user traversed away from the shell hierarchy\&.
.PP
The value of the \fIdirection\fP argument determines which of three
kinds of traversal action to take:
.IP "   \(bu" 6
Traversal to a non-tab-group widget\&.
This kind of traversal is possible only when the widget that currently
has focus is not a tab group; otherwise, \fBXmProcessTraversal\fP
returns False for these actions\&.
.IP "" 10
These actions do not move focus from one tab group to another\&.
The actions first determine the containing tab group\&.
This is the tab group containing the widget that currently has focus\&.
The actions traverse only to a non-tab-group widget within the
containing tab group\&.
.IP "" 10
A non-tab-group widget is eligible for this kind of traversal if the
widget is traversable and has no tab group ancestors up to the
containing tab group\&.
If the tab group contains no traversable non-tab-group widgets,
\fBXmProcessTraversal\fP returns False\&.
.IP "" 10
Following are the possible values of the \fIdirection\fP argument\&.
Note that when actions wrap, wrapping occurs in the traversal
direction\&. The following describes what happens in a left

Traversal to a tab group\&.
