Description

Each callback function can be one of the following:

function

Call the function.

list

Apply the head of the list to the tail.

:redisplay-interface

Call redisplay-interface on the top-level interface.

:redisplay-menu-bar

Call redisplay-menu-bar on the top-level interface.

The slot value callback-type determines which arguments get passed to each of the callbacks. It can be any of the following values, and passes the corresponding data to the callback function:

:collection-data

( collection data )

:data

( item-data )

:data-element

( item-data element )

:data-interface

( item-data interface )

:element

( element )

:element-data

( element item-data )

:element-item

( element item )

:interface-data

( interface item-data )

:item

( item )

:item-element

( item element )

:item-interface

( item interface )

:interface-item

( interface item )

:interface

( interface )

:full

( item-data item interface )

:focus

The pane with the current input focus.

:none

()

nil

()

callback-type can also be a list containing any of :focus, :data, :element, :interface, :collection, :item.

The item-data variable is the item's data if the item is of type item, otherwise it is the item itself, as for item. The item variable means the item itself. The interface is the element-interface of the element. collection is the element's collection, if there is one. The element variable means the element containing the callback itself.

In a choice, the alternative-action-callback is invoked by a gesture which is the action-callback gesture modified by the Shift key on Microsoft Windows and GTK+, and modified by the Command key on Cocoa.

alternative-action-callback is applicable only to choice and its subclasses.

Apart from being invoked with a different gesture, the alternative-action-callback has exactly the same semantics as action-callback .
