| Allegro CL version 6.2 Unrevised from 6.1 |
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
, hotspot
, 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).
