| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments: object
Returns a box object that specifies the exterior of the argument
object with respect to its parent. The object may be a dialog-item
, or
window (though
box simply calls
exterior when
passed a non-widget window). (setf box) may be called
to resize the object.
When passed a combo-box
or dropping-outline
dialog-item (or
the dialog-item's window), the returned box includes
the height of the dropping pane of the widget. Similarly, when calling
(setf
box), the height should specify the height of the widget with
its dropping pane; this determines how far the dropping pane can
extend downward. (The undropped widget is maintained at a standard
height.) To instead find the box that does not include the dropping
pane, use (exterior (window dialog-item))
(see
exterior and
window).
Beginning in version 7.0, the box method specializing on hotspot
has become the new generic function
hotspot-region, though the
box method for hotspots and
its associated :box
initarg
still exist for compatibility.
