<H3>Description</H3>
 This is the base class for browsers.  To be useful it must be
subclassed and several virtual functions defined.  The Forms-compatable
browser and the file chooser's browser are subclassed off of this.
<P>This has been designed so that the subclass has complete control
over the storage of the data, although because <TT>next()</TT> and <TT>
prev()</TT> functions are used to index, it works best as a linked list
or as a large block of characters in which the line breaks must be
searched for. </P>
<P>A great deal of work has been done so that the &quot;height&quot; of a data
object does not need to be determined until it is drawn.  This is
useful if actually figuring out the size of an object requires
accessing image data or doing <TT>stat()</TT> on a file or doing some
other slow operation. </P>

<H4><A name="Fl_Browser_.Fl_Browser_">Fl_Browser::Fl_Browser(int, int,
int, int, const char * = 0)</A></H4>

<P>The constructor makes an empty browser.


<H4><A name="Fl_Browser_.~Fl_Browser_">Fl_Browser::~Fl_Browser(void)</A></H4>

<P>The destructor deletes all list items and destroys the browser.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.bbox">Fl_Browser_::bbox(int &amp;x, int &amp;y, int &amp;w, int &amp;h) const</A></H4>

<P>This method returns the bounding box for the interior of the list, inside
the scrollbars.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.deleting">Fl_Browser_::deleting(void *a)</A></H4>

<P>This method should be used when an item is deleted from the list.
It allows the <TT>Fl_Browser_</TT> to discard any cached data it has
on the item.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.deselect">int Fl_Browser_::deselect(int docb=0)</A></H4>

<P>Deselects all items in the list and returns 1 if the state changed
or 0 if it did not.

<P>If <TT>docb</TT> is non-zero, <TT>deselect</TT> tries to call the
callback function for the widget.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.display">Fl_Browser_::display(void *p)</A></H4>

<P>Displays item <TT>p</TT>, scrolling the list as necessary.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.displayed">int Fl_Browser_::displayed(void *p) const</A></H4>

<P>This method returns non-zero if item <TT>p</TT> is currently visible in
the list.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.draw">Fl_Browser_::draw()
<BR>Fl_Browser_::draw(int x, int y, int w, int h)</A></H4>

<P>The first form draws the list within the normal widget bounding box.

<P>The second form draws the contents of the browser within the
specified bounding box.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.find_item">void *Fl_Browser_::find_item(int my)</A></H4>

<P>This method returns the item under mouse at <TT>my</TT>. If no item is

<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.full_height">virtual int Fl_Browser_::full_height()</A></H4>

<P>This method may be provided by the subclass to indicate the full height
of the item list in pixels. The default implementation computes the full
height from the item heights.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.full_width">Fl_Browser_::full_width()</A></H4>

<P>This method may be provided by the subclass to indicate the full width
of the item list in pixels. The default implementation computes the full
width from the item widths.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.handle">Fl_Browser_::handle(int event)
<BR>Fl_Browser_::handle(int event, int x, int y, int w, int h)</A></H4>

<P>The first form handles an event within the normal widget bounding box.

<P>The second form handles an event within the specified bounding box.


<H4><A name="Fl_Browser_.has_scrollbar">void
Fl_Browser_::has_scrollbar(int h)</A></H4>

<P>By default you can scroll in both directions, and the scrollbars
disappear if the data will fit in the widget.  has_scrollbar() changes
this based on the value of <TT>h</TT>:

<UL>

	<LI><CODE>0</CODE> - No scrollbars.

	<LI><CODE>Fl_Browser_::HORIZONTAL</CODE> - Only a horizontal
	scrollbar.

	<LI><CODE>Fl_Browser_::VERTICAL</CODE> - Only a vertical
	scrollbar.

	<LI><CODE>Fl_Browser_::BOTH</CODE> - The default is both
	scrollbars.

</UL>

<BR>Fl_Browser_::hposition(int h)</A></H4>

<P>Gets or sets the horizontal scrolling position of the list.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.incr_height">virtual int Fl_Browser_::incr_height()</A></H4>

<P>This method may be provided to return the average height of all items, to
be used for scrolling. The default implementation uses the height of the first
item.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.inserting">Fl_Browser_::inserting(void *a, void *b)</A></H4>

<P>This method should be used when an item is added to the list.

<P>This method must be provided by the subclass to return the first item in
the list.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.item_height">virtual int Fl_Browser_::item_height(void *p)</A></H4>

<P>This method must be provided by the subclass to return the height of the
item <TT>p</TT> in pixels.  Allow for two additional pixels for the list
selection box.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.item_next">virtual void *Fl_Browser_::item_next(void *p) const</A></H4>

<P>This method may be provided by the subclass to return the height of the
item <TT>p</TT> in pixels.  Allow for two additional pixels for the list
selection box.  This method differs from
<A HREF="#Fl_Browser_.item_height"><TT>item_height</TT></A> in that it is only
called for selection and scrolling operations. The default implementation
calls <TT>item_height</TT>.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.item_select">virtual void Fl_Browser_::item_select(void *p, int s=1)</A></H4>

<P>This method must be implemented by the subclass if it supports

<P>This method must be provided by the subclass to return the width of the
item <TT>p</TT> in pixels.  Allow for two additional pixels for the list
selection box.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.leftedge">int Fl_Browser_::leftedge() const</A></H4>

<P>This method returns the X position of the left edge of the list area
after adjusting for the scrollbar and border, if any.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.new_list">Fl_Browser_::new_list()</A></H4>

<P>This method should be called when the list data is completely replaced
or cleared. It informs the <TT>Fl_Browser_</TT> widget that any cached
information it has concerning the items is invalid.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.position">int Fl_Browser_::position() const
<BR>Fl_Browser_::position(int v) const</A></H4>

<P>Gets or sets the vertical scrolling position of the list.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.redraw_line">Fl_Browser_::redraw_line(void *p)</A></H4>

<P>This method should be called when the contents of an item have changed
but not changed the height of the item.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.redraw_lines">Fl_Browser_::redraw_lines()</A></H4>

<P>This method will cause the entire list to be redrawn.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.replacing">Fl_Browser_::replacing(void *a, void *b)</A></H4>

<P>This method should be used when an item is replaced in the list.
It allows the <TT>Fl_Browser_</TT> to update its cache data as needed.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.resize">Fl_Browser_::resize(int x, int y, int w, int h)</A></H4>

<P>Repositions and/or resizes the browser.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.scrollbar_left">Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_left()</A></H4>

<P>This method moves the vertical scrollbar to the lefthand side of the list.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.scrollbar_right">Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_right()</A></H4>

<P>This method moves the vertical scrollbar to the righthand side of the list.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.select">int Fl_Browser_::select(void *p, int s=1, int docb=0)</A></H4>

<P>Sets the selection state of item <TT>p</TT> to <TT>s</TT> and
returns 1 if the state changed or 0 if it did not.

<P>If <TT>docb</TT> is non-zero, <TT>select</TT> tries to call the callback
function for the widget.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.select_only">Fl_Browser_::select_only(void *p, int docb=0)</A></H4>

<P>Selects item <TT>p</TT> and returns 1 if the state changed or 0 if it did
not. Any other items in the list are deselected.

<P>If <TT>docb</TT> is non-zero, <TT>select_only</TT> tries to call the
callback function for the widget.


<H4><A NAME="Fl_Browser_.selection">void *Fl_Browser_::selection() const</A></H4>

<P>Returns the item currently selected, or NULL if there is no selection.
For multiple selection browsers this call returns the last item that was
selected.

<P>The first form gets the default text color for the lines in the
browser.

<P>The second form sets the default text color to <TT>color</TT></P>


<H4><A name="Fl_Browser_.textfont">Fl_Font Fl_Browser_::textfont() const
<BR>void Fl_Browser_::textfont(Fl_Font font)</A></H4>
