Description

The background and foreground colors are colors specified using the graphics ports color system, and the font must be a generic font. The value forvisible-border can be any of the following:

nil

Has no border.

t

Has a border.

:default

Use the default for the window type.

Any simple pane can be made to scroll by specifyingt to:horizontal-scroll or:vertical-scroll. By default these values arenil, but some subclasses ofsimple-pane default tot where appropriate (for instance editors always default to having a vertical scroll-bar).

In order to display a simple pane, it needs to be contained within an interface. The two convenience functionsmake-container andcontain are provided to create an interface with enough support for that pane. The functionmake-container just returns a container for an element, and the functioncontain displays an interface created for the pane usingmake-container.

Examples

(capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:simple-pane))
(capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:simple-pane
                             :background :red))

(capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:simple-pane
                              :background :red
                              :horizontal-scroll t))

(capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:simple-pane
                              :visible-border t))
