IupMatrix Attributes (all non inheritable, with exceptions)

General Attributes

CURSOR: Default cursor used by the matrix. The default cursor is a symbol that looks like a cross. If you need to refer to this default cursor, use the name "IupMatrixCrossCursor".

DROPIMAGE: drop image name. Use IupSetHandle or IupSetAttributeHandle to associate an image to a name. See also IupImage. By default an internal image will be used. (since 3.16)

FOCUSCELL: Defines the current cell. Two numbers in the "L:C" format,  (L>0 and C>0, a title cell can NOT be the current cell). Default: "1:1".

FLAT: removes the 3D appearance from the matrix. (since 3.25)

FLATSCROLLBAR: enable the flat scrollbars. Can be set only before map. SCROLLBAR is set to NO. Can be Yes, Vertical or Horizontal. Default: not defined. (since 3.22)

HIDEFOCUS: do not show the focus mark when drawing the matrix. Default is NO.

HIDDENTEXTMARKS: when text is greater than cell space, it is normally cropped, but when set to YES a "..." mark will be added at the crop point to indicate that there is more text not visible. Default: NO. (since 3.1)

HLCOLOR: the overlay color for the selected cells. Default: TXTHLCOLOR global attribute. If set to "" will only use the attenuation process. The color is composited using HLCOLORALPHA attribute as alpha value (default is 128). (since 3.16)

ORIGIN: Scroll the visible area to the given cell. Returns the cell at the top-left corner. To scroll to a line or a column, use a value such as "L:*" or "*:C" (where L>0 and C>0). L and C can not be a non scrollable cell either.

ORIGINOFFSET: complements the ORIGIN attribute by specifying the drag offset of the top left cell. Returns the current value. Has the format "X:Y" or "%d:%d" in C. When changing this attribute must change also ORIGIN right after. (since 3.5)

READONLY: disables the editing of all cells. EDITION_CB and VALUE_EDIT_CB will not be called anymore. The L:C attribute will still be able to change the cell value. (since 3.0)

SHOWFILLVALUE: enable the display of the numeric percentage in the cell when TYPE* is FILL. Default: NO. (since 3.9)

TOGGLECENTERED: center the toggle and use the cell value in place of TOGGLEVALUEL:C. No text will be drawn. (since 3.16)

TOGGLEIMAGEON/TOGGLEIMAGEOFF: toggle image name. Use IupSetHandle or IupSetAttributeHandle to associate an image to a name. See also IupImage. By default an internal image will be used. (since 3.16)

TYPECOLORINACTIVE: when inactive the color of the cell for TYPE*=COLOR will be attenuated as everything else. Default: Yes. (since 3.19)


ACTIVE, EXPAND, FONT, SCREENPOSITION, POSITION, MINSIZE, MAXSIZE, WID, TIP, SIZE, RASTERSIZE, ZORDER, VISIBLE: also accepted. 

Cell Attributes (no redraw)

(These attributes are only updated in the display when you set the REDRAW attribute.)

L:C: Text of the cell located in line L and column C, where L and C are integer numbers.
L:0: Title of line L.
0:C: Title of column C.
0:0: Title of the area between the line and column titles.

These are valid only in normal mode.

ALIGNL:C: Alignment of the cell value in line L and column C. Values are in the format: "linalign:colalign", where linalign can be "ATOP", "ACENTER" or "ABOTTOM", and colalign can be "ALEFT", "ACENTER" or "ARIGHT". Default will use ALIGNMENT* and LINEALIGMENT*. (Since 3.16)

TYPEL:C: Type of the cell value in line L and column C.  (Since 3.9)
TYPE*:C: Type of column C.  (Since 3.9)
TYPEL:*: Type of line L.  (Since 3.9)

Can be TEXT, COLOR, FILL, or IMAGE. When type is COLOR the cell value is interpreted as a color and a rectangle with the color is drawn inside the cell instead of the text (the FGCOLOR of the cell is ignored). When type is FILL the cell value is interpreted as percentage and a rectangle showing the percentage in the FGCOLOR is drawn like in IupGauge and IupProgressBar. When type is IMAGE the cell value is interpreted as an image name, and if an image exist with that name is drawn (the name can NOT be of a Windows resource or GTK stock image). Only TEXT and IMAGE are affected by alignment attributes. Default: TEXT. (Since 3.9)

BGCOLOR: Background color of the matrix. (inheritable)
BGCOLOR*:C: Background color of column C.
BGCOLORL:*: Background color of line L.
BGCOLORL:C: Background color of the cell in line L and column C.

When more than one attribute are defined, the background color will be selected following this priority: BGCOLORL:C, BGCOLORL:*, BGCOLOR*:C, and last BGCOLOR. (L or C >= 0)
Default BGCOLOR is the global attribute TXTBGCOLOR for cells and the parent's BGCOLOR for titles.
Since the matrix control can be larger than the matrix itself, the empty area will always be filled with the parent's BGCOLOR.

FGCOLOR: Text color. (inheritable)
FGCOLOR*:C: Text color of column C.
FGCOLORL:*
: Text color of line L.
FGCOLORL:C: Text color of the cell in line L and column C.

When more than one attribute are define, the text color of a cell will be selected following this priority: FGCOLORL:C, FGCOLORL:*, FGCOLOR*:C, and last FGCOLOR. (L or C >= 0)
Default FGCOLOR is the global attribute TXTFGCOLOR for cells or the global attribute DLGFGCOLOR for titles.

FONT: Character font of the text. (inheritable)
FONTL:*: Text font of the cells in line L.
FONT*:C: Text font of the cells in column C.
FONTL:C: Text font of the cell in line L and column C.

This attribute must be set before the control is showed. It affects the calculation of the size of all the matrix cells. The cell size is always calculated from the base FONT attribute. FONTSTYLEL:C and FONTSIZEL:C can also be used to set FONT changing only the font style or size (since 3.21).

FRAMECOLOR: Sets the color to be used in the frame lines. (inheritable)
FRAMEVERTCOLORL:C: Color of the vertical right frame line of the cell. When not defined the FRAMEVERTCOLOR*:C is used. For a title column cell (col=0) defines right and left frames, except if FRAMETITLEVERTCOLORL:C  is defined. If value is "BGCOLOR" the frame line is not drawn.
FRAMEVERTCOLOR*:C: same as FRAMEVERTCOLORL:C but for all the cells of the column C. When not defined the FRAMECOLORL:C is used. (since 3.5)
FRAMEVERTCOLORL:*
: same as FRAMEVERTCOLORL:C but for all the cells of the line L. When not defined the FRAMECOLOR*:C is used. (since 3.28)
FRAMETITLEVERTCOLORL:
0: color of the vertical left frame line of the cell. When not defined the FRAMEVERTCOLORL:0  is used. "L" can also be "*" (since 3.22)
FRAMEHORIZCOLORL:C
: color of the horizontal bottom frame line of the cell. When not defined the FRAMEHORIZCOLORL:* is used. For a title line cell (lin=0) defines bottom and top frames, except if FRAMETITLEHORIZCOLORL:C  is defined. If value is "BGCOLOR" the frame line is not drawn.
FRAMEHORIZCOLORL:*: same as FRAMEHORIZCOLORL:C but for all the cells of the line L. When not defined the FRAMECOLORL:C is used. (since 3.5)
FRAMEHORIZCOLOR*:C: same as FRAMEHORIZCOLORL:C but for all the cells of the column C. When not defined the FRAMECOLORL:* is used. (since 3.28)
FRAMETITLEHORIZCOLOR0:C: color of the horizontal top frame line of the cell. When not defined the FRAMEHORIZCOLOR0:C  is used. "C" can also be "*". (since 3.22)

FRAMETITLEHIGHLIGHT: by default the title cells will have a bright line at left and top to configure a raise appearance. Can be Yes or No. Default: Yes. (since 3.9)

FRAMEBORDER: show a fixed border (non scrollable) of 1 pixel around the matrix visible area using FRAMECOLOR. It is drawn after the matrix cells are drawn. Drawn only when the scrollbars are visible, and only up to matrix total size. Default: No. (since 3.20)

RESIZEMATRIXCOLOR: color used by the column resize feedback. Default: "102 102 102". (Since 3.9)

TOGGLEVALUEL:C : value of the toggle inside the cell. The toggle is shown only if the DROPCHECK_CB returns IUP_CONTINUE for the cell. When the toggle is interactively change the TOGGLEVALUE_CB callback is called. (Since 3.9)

VALUE: Allows setting or verifying the value of the current cell. Is the same as obtaining the current cell line and column from FOCUSCELL attribute, and then using them to access the "L:C" attribute. But when updated or retrieved during cell editing, the edit control will be updated or consulted instead of the matrix cell. When retrieved inside the EDITION_CB callback when mode is 0, then the return value is the new value that will be updated in the cell.


CELLL:C (read-only): Returns the displayed cell value. Returns NULL if the cell does not exists, or it is not visible, or the element is not mapped. (since 3.14)

CELLBGCOLORL:C (read-only): Returns the actual cell background color, including lin and col variations, callback returned values, mark and active state modifications. Returns NULL if the cell does not exists, or it is not visible, or the element is not mapped. (since 3.6)

CELLOFFSETL:C (read-only): Returns the cell computed offset in pixels from the top-left corner of the matrix, in the format "XxY" or "%dx%d" in C. Returns NULL if the cell does not exists, or it is not visible, or the element is not mapped. It will only return a valid result if the cell has already been displayed. They are similar to the parameters of the DRAW_CB callback but they do NOT include the decorations. (since 3.5)

Size Attributes

LIMITEXPAND: limit expansion to the maximum size that shows all cells. This will set the MAXSIZE attribute to match the natural size of the matrix when all cells are visible. When the scrollbars have *AUTOHIDE=Yes, the maximum size will not include the scrollbars (since 3.9). (since 3.5)

RESIZEMATRIX: Defines if the width of a column can be interactively changed. When this is possible, the user can change the size of a column by dragging the column title right border. Possible values: "YES" or "NO". Default: "NO" (does not allow interactive width change). The minimum size is 0 by default, the column is then hidden, but it can be controlled by the MINCOLWIDTHid and MINCOLWIDTHDEF attributes (since 3.26).

USETITLESIZE: Use the title size to define the cell size if necessary. See WIDTHn and HEIGHTn. Default: NO. (since 3.0)

Column Size Attributes

For all columns if WIDTHn is not defined, then RASTERWIDTHn is used. If also not defined, then depending on the circumstances a logic is used to find the column width.

If it is the title column (n=0), then if USETITLESIZE=YES or not in callback mode, it will search for the maximum width among the titles of all lines. Finally if the conditions are not true or the maximum width of the column is 0, then the column of line titles is hidden.

If it is a regular column (n>0), then if USETITLESIZE=YES, then it will use the width of the title of the column. Finally if the condition is not true or the width of the title of the column is 0, then the default value WIDTHDEF is used.

RASTERWIDTHn: Same as WIDTHn but in pixels. Has lower priority than WIDTHn. The returned value is the actual computed size.

WIDTHn: Width of column n in SIZE units, where n is the number of the column (n>=0). If the width value is 0, the column will not be shown on the screen. It does not includes the decoration size occupied by the frame lines. The returned value is the actual computed size.

WIDTHDEF: Default column width in SIZE units. Not used for the title column. Default: 80 (width corresponding to 20 characters).

MINCOLWIDTHid: when the column is interactively resized controls the minimum width of the given column. If not defined MINCOLWIDTHDEF is used. (since 3.26)

Line Size Attributes

For all lines if HEIGHTn is not defined, then RASTERHEIGHTn is used. If also not defined, then depending on the circumstances a logic is used to find the line height.

If it is the title line (n=0), then if USETITLESIZE=YES or not in callback mode, it will search for the maximum height among the titles of all columns. Finally if the conditions are not true or the maximum height of the line is 0, then the line of column titles is hidden.

If it is a regular line (n>0), then if USETITLESIZE=YES, then it will use the height of the title of the line. Finally if the condition is not true or the height of the title of the line is 0, then the default value HEIGHTDEF is used.

HEIGHTn: Height of line n in SIZE units, where n is the number of the line (n>=0). If the height value is 0, the line will not be shown on the screen. It does not includes the decoration size occupied by the frame lines. The returned value is the actual computed size.

HEIGHTDEF: Default line height in SIZE units. Not used for the title line. Default: 8 (height corresponding to 1 line).

RASTERHEIGHTn: Same as HEIGHTn but in pixels. Has lower priority than HEIGHTn. The returned value is the actual computed size.

Number of Cells Attributes

When lines or columns are added or removed the existing cell, line and column attributes are preserved, except custom application attributes.

ADDCOL (write-only): Adds a new column to the matrix after the specified column. To insert a column at the top of the spreadsheet, value 0 must be used. To add more than one column, use format "C-C", where the first number corresponds to the base column and the second number corresponds to the number of columns to be added. It can be used in normal operation mode or in callback mode, but in callback mode will not update cell values this must be done by the application. Can NOT add a title column. Ignored if set before map.

ADDLIN (write-only): Adds a new line to the matrix after the specified line. To insert a line at the top of the spreadsheet, value 0 must be used. To add more than one line, use format "L-L", where the first number corresponds to the base line and the second number corresponds to the number of lines to be added. It can be used in normal operation mode or in callback mode, but in callback mode will not update cell values this must be done by the application. Can NOT add a title line. Ignored if set before map.

DELCOL (write-only): Removes the given column from the matrix. To remove more than one column, use format "C-C", where the first number corresponds to the base column and the second number corresponds to the number of columns to be removed.

Ignored if set before map.

DELLIN (write-only): Removes the given line from the matrix. To remove more than one line, use format "L-L", where the first number corresponds to the base line and the second number corresponds to the number of lines to be removed. It can be used in normal operation mode or in callback mode, but in callback mode will not update cell values this must be done by the application. Can NOT remove a title line, L>0. Ignored if set before map.

NUMCOL: Defines the number of columns in the matrix. Must be an integer number. Default: "0". It does not include the title column. If changed after map will add empty cells or discard cells at the end.

NUMCOL_VISIBLE: When set defines the number of visible columns to be counted when calculating the Natural size, not counting the title column. Not used elsewhere. The Natural size will always include the title column if any. Can be greater than the actual number of columns, so room will be reserved for adding new columns without the need to resize the matrix. Also it will always use the first columns of the matrix, except if NUMCOL_VISIBLE_LAST=YES then it will use the last columns. The remaining columns will be accessible only by using the scrollbar. IMPORTANT: When retrieved returns the current number of visible columns, not including the non scrollable columns. Default: "4".

NUMCOL_NOSCROLL: Number of columns that are non scrollable, not counting the title column. Default: "0". It does not affect the NUMCOL_VISIBLE attribute behavior nor Natural size computation. It will always use the first columns of the matrix. The cells appearance will be the same of ordinary cells, and they can also receive the focus and be edited. Must be less than the total number of columns. (since 3.5)

NUMLIN: Defines the number of lines in the matrix. Must be an integer number. Default: "0". It does not include the title line. If changed after map will add empty cells or discard cells at the end.

NUMLIN_VISIBLE: When set defines the number of visible lines to be counted when calculating the Natural size, not counting the title line. Not used elsewhere. The Natural size will always include the title line if any. Can be greater than the actual number of lines, so room will be reserved for adding new lines without the need to resize the matrix. Also it will always use the first lines of the matrix, except if NUMLIN_VISIBLE_LAST=YES then it will use the last lines. The remaining lines will be accessible only by using the scrollbar. IMPORTANT: When retrieved returns the current number of visible lines, not including the non scrollable lines. Default: "3".

NUMLIN_NOSCROLL: Number of lines that are non scrollable, not counting the title line. Default: "0". It does not affect the NUMLIN_VISIBLE attribute behavior nor Natural size computation.

MARKL:C (no redraw): marks a cell, a line or a column depending on MARKMODE, and returns cell, line or column mark state also according to MARKMODE. Can be "1" or "0". If MARKMODE=LIN,COL,LINCOL use 0 to mark only the other element (ex: "0:3" set/get for column 3). Even when MARKMODE=LIN,COL,LINCOL you can specify a single cell address. (since 3.0)

MARKED: String of '0' or '1' characters, informing which cells are marked (indicated by value '1'). Use NULL to clear all marks, returns NULL if no marks. The format of this character vector depends on the value of the MARKMODE attribute: if its value is CELL, the vector will have NUMLIN x NUMCOL positions, corresponding to all the cells in the matrix starting with all the cells of the first line, then the second line and so on. If its value is LIN, the vector will begin with letter 'L' and will have further NUMLIN positions, each one corresponding to a line in the matrix. If its value is COL, the vector will begin with letter 'C' and will have further NUMCOL positions, each one corresponding to a column in the matrix. If its value is LINCOL, the first letter, which can be either 'L' or 'C', will indicate which of the above formats is being used. If you change the other mark attributes the marked cells are cleared. When setting the attribute the LIN and COL notation can be used even if MARKMODE=CELL. MULTIPLE and AREA are NOT considered when setting MARKED or MARKL:C.

MARKMULTIPLE: Defines if more than one entity defined by MARKMODE can be interactively marked. Possible values: "YES" or "NO". Default: "NO".

Merge Attributes (since 3.23)

Title cells can also be merge but only among them, i.e. in the line of column titles (L=0) can only merge columns, and in the column of line titles (C=0) can only merge lines. The corner cell (0:0) can not be merged with any other cell. Only cells that are not already merged can be merged into a range. Returns if the given cell belongs to a merged range, can be "Yes" or "No".

NUMCOL_VISIBLE and NUMLIN_VISIBLE are considered when fitting and they are not changed, only the RASTERWIDTHn and RASTERHEIGHTn attributes are changed. But if any of the RASTERWIDTHn and RASTERHEIGHTn attributes where already set, then they will not be changed. If the matrix is resized then it must be set again to obtain the same result, but before doing that set to NULL all the RASTERWIDTHn and RASTERHEIGHTn attributes that you want to be changed. Can be LINES, COLUMNS or YES (meaning both). (since 3.3)

FITTOTEXT (write-only): Fit the RASTERWIDTHn or the RASTERHEIGHTn attribute for the given column or line, so that it will fit the largest text in the column or the highest text in the line. The number of the column or line must be preceded by a character identifying its type, "C" for columns and "L" for lines. For example "C5"=column 5 or "L3"=line 3.

EDITHIDEONFOCUS: when editing a cell if text box loses its focus, then editing ends. Default: Yes. When set to NO editing will continue and the matrix can be scrolled, also when pressing Esc or Enter if the focus is at the matrix it has the same effect as if pressed at the text box. (since 3.14)

EDITING (read-only): returns Yes if the editing process is active for text or dropdown. It is set to Yes after EDITION_CB, after MENUDROP_CB,  before DROP_CB and before the editing control is made visible.
