; NAME:
;   FSC_DROPLIST
;
; PURPOSE:
;
;   The purpose of this compound widget is to provide an alternative
;   to the DROPLIST widget offered in the IDL distribution. What has
;   always annoyed me about a droplist is that you can't get the current
;   "value" of a droplist easily. This compound widget makes this and
;   other tasks much easier.

;
; CATEGORY:
;
;   General programming.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;   droplistObj = FSC_Droplist(parent, Title='Animals: ", Value=['Dog'. 'Cat', 'Coyote'], Index=2)
;
;   The return value of the FSC_Droplist (droplistObj in this example) is
;   an object reference. Interaction with the droplist will occur through
;   object methods.
;
; INPUT PARAMETERS:
;
;   parent -- The parent widget ID of the compound widget. Required.
;
; INPUT KEYWORDS:
;
; Any keyword that is appropriate for the Widget_Droplist function can be used.
; In addition, these keywords are explicitly defined.
;
;   EVENT_FUNC -- Set this keyword to the name of an Event Handler Function.
;   EVENT_PRO -- Set this keyword to the name of an Event Handler Procedure.
;   FORMAT -- A format specifier for the "format" of the values in the droplist.
;   INDEX -- The index number of the current selection.
;   SPACES -- A two-element array that indicates the number of blank spaces to be added
;             to the the beginning and end of the formatted values. If a single number
;             is provided, this number of blank spaces is added to both the beginning
;             and the end of the value.
;   TITLE -- The title of the droplist widget.
;   UNAME -- The user name of the droplist widget. (Only available in IDL 5.2 and higher.)
;   UVALUE -- The normal "user value" of the droplist.
;   VALUE -- An array of the droplist "selections". May be any data type.
;
; COMMON BLOCKS:
;
;   None.
;
; DEPENDENCIES:
;
;   Requires ERROR_MESSAGE from the Coyote Library..
;
; EVENT STRUCTURE:
;
;   An event is returned each time the droplist value is changed. The event structure
;   is defined like this:
;
;   event = { FSC_DROPLIST_EVENT, $ ; The name of the event structure.
;             ID: 0L, $             ; The ID of the compound widget's top-level base.
;             TOP: 0L, $            ; The widget ID of the top-level base of the hierarchy.
;             HANDLER: 0L, $        ; The event handler ID. Filled out by IDL.
;             INDEX: 0L, $          ; The index number of the current selection.
;             SELECTION:Ptr_New() $ ; A pointer to the current selection "value".
;             SELF:Obj_New() }      ; The object reference of the compound widget.
;
; PUBLIC OBJECT METHODS:
;
;   GetID -- A function with no arguments that returns the widget identifier
;      of the droplist widget.
;
;      droplistID = droplistObj->GetID()
;
;   GetIndex -- A function with no arguments that returns the index
;      number of the current droplist selection.
;
;      currentIndex = droplistObj->GetIndex()
;
;   GetSelection -- A function with no arguments that returns the current
;      droplist selection.
;
;      currentSelection = droplistObj->GetSelection()
;
;   GetUValue -- A function with no arguments that returns the "user value"
;      of the compound widget i.e., the value set with the UVALUE keyword).
;
;      myUValue = droplistObj->GetUValue()
;
;   GetValues -- A function with no arguments that returns the "values" or
;      "selections" for the droplist.
;
;      possibleSelections = droplistObj->GetValues()
;
;   Resize -- A procedure that sets the X screen size of the droplist. It is
;      defined like this:
;
;      PRO Resize, newSize, ParentSize=parentSize
;
;      The "newSize" keyword is the new X screen size. If this argument is
;      missing, the screen X size of the compound widget's parent is used.
;      The parentSize keyword is an output keyword that returns the X screen
;      size of the compound widget's parent.
;
;      droplistObj->Resize, 400
;
;      Note that not all devices (e.g., X Windows devices) support droplist resizing.
;
;   SetIndex -- A procedure that sets the current droplist selection based on
;      the given index. This is equivalent to Widget_Control, droplistID, Set_Droplist_Select=newIndex
;
;      droplistObj->SetIndex, newIndex
;
;   SetSelection -- Whereas a regular droplist widget can only be set by index
;      number, this compound widget can also be set by a "selection". The new selection
;      can be any data type and corresponds to one of the "values" of the droplist.
;
;      droplistObj->SetSelection, newSelection
;
;   SetValues -- Sets the possible selections of the droplist widget. The CurrentIndex keyword
;      will allow the current index of the selection to be changed to:
;
;      newChoices = ['dog', 'cat', 'coyote']
;      droplistObj->SetValues, newChoices, CurrentIndex=2
;
;
; EXAMPLE:
;
;   An example program is provided at the end of the FSC_DROPLIST code. To run it,
;   type these commands:
;
;      IDL> .Compile FSC_DROPLIST
;      IDL> Example
;
; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
;
;   Written by: David W Fanning, 17 Jan 2000. DWF.
;   Added FORMAT and SPACES keywords 28 April 2000. DWF.
;   Fixed a small problem with event processing when the EVENT_FUNC keyword
;      was used. 29 Dec 2000. DWF.
;   Attached the UNAME value to the TLB of the compound widget instead
;      of to the droplist widget itself. 11 Jan 2001. DWF.
;   Fixed a problem when the droplist was part of a modal widget and used the
;      EVENT_PRO keyword. 27 Oct 2003. DWF.
;   Added a SetValue method for setting all the values in the droplist at once. 12 Nov 2004. DWF.
;   Fixed type on line 346/ 6 Feb 2008. DWF.
