/*
 * FILE:
 * basiccell.h
 *
 * FUNCTION:
 * The BasicCell class provides an abstract base class
 * defining the handling of the editing of a cell of a table.
 * Classes that provide the actual handling for different
 * cell types should inherit from this class.
 *
 * The BasicCell class encapsulates a single string value
 * which can be set & read by the programmer, and edited
 * by the "user".  In the text below, the "user" is the
 * person controlling the mouse and keyboard.  Thus, when
 * the user makes a move, it means that they have somehow
 * interacted with the cell, by clicking with mouse or by
 * typing at the keyboard.  This class provides three
 * callbacks which allow the programmer to understand what
 * the user is doing.
 *
 * The programmer can create a custom GUI for editing the
 * contents of the cell. There are three callbacks to allow
 * a custom GUI to be created, destroyed and moved about.
 *
 * Since this class is implemented in C not C++, there is
 * a "minor" problem with inheritance.  To emulate the
 * overloading of a virtual "SetValues" method, there is
 * a set_value() callback, which will be called whenever
 * the xaccSetBasicCellValue() subroutine is called.
 *
 * VIRTUAL/OVERLOADED METHODS:
 * The set_value() callback will be called whenever the
 * xaccSetBasicCellValue() method is called.  Derived
 * classes should provide a callback here if they need
 * to understand special cell formats.
 *
 * USER CALLBACKS:
 * The enter_cell() callback is called when the user first
 *    makes a move to enter a cell.  This might be by clicking
 *    on the cell with the mouse, by tabbing to it, using the
 *    arrow keys, or otherwise "selecting" it as the current
 *    cell to edit.
 *
 *    The callback may change the value of the cell. The callback
 *    should return true if the cell should allow direct editing
 *    by the user, FALSE otherwise.
 *
 *    The callback is also passed pointers to the cursor position
 *    and the start and end of the highlited region. If the callback
 *    returns NULL, it may also change these values and the GUI will
 *    update appropriately.
 *
 * The leave_cell() callback is called when the user exits
 *    a cell.  This can be by tabbing or arrow-keying away
 *    from it, or by using the mouse to specify a different
 *    cell, etc. The callback may change the value of the cell.
 *
 * The modify_verify() callback is called when a user makes a
 *    change to a cell.  It is called after every keystroke,
 *    (actually, after every X11 "input-method" type input,
 *    so that ctrl-alt-etc modifier keys are pre-processed in
 *    the usual X11 fashion).
 *
 *    The arguments passed in are :
 *    "add", the string the user is attempting to add
 *           (will be null if text is being deleted).
 *    "new", the string that would result is user's changes
 *           are accepted.
 *    "cursor_position", the position of the editing cursor
 *                       in the text. This may be modified by
 *                       the callback, in which case the GUI
 *                       will reflect the change. Set to -1
 *                       to make the cursor go to the end of
 *                       the text.
 *    "start_selection", the starting character of the highlited
 *                       selection.
 *    "end_selection",   the index immediately after the last
 *                       character in the selection. Set both
 *                       start and end to 0 for no selection.
 *                       Set the end to -1 to make the selection
 *                       go to the end of the text.
 *
 * The direct_update() callback is called to pass raw gui data
 *    to the cell. The exact format of the data is determined
 *    by the gui. The callback should return TRUE if the event
 *    was handled, i.e., there is no need to call the modify
 *    update. If the value needs to be changed, the cell should
 *    go ahead and change it.
 *
 *
 * GUI CALLBACKS:
 * The cell may have some specific GUI elements which need
 * to be initialized/positioned/etc.  There are three GUI
 * callbacks that allow the programmer to perform GUI-specific
 * initialization & changes.
 *
 * The gui_realize() callback will be called when GUI-specific
 *    initialization needs to be done. For Gnome, the second
 *    argument will be cast to the parent widget.
 *
 * The gui_destroy() callback will be called when the GUI associated
 *    with the cell needs to be destroyed.
 *
 * The gui_move() callback will be called when the GUI element needs
 *    to be positioned to a new location within the table grid.
 *    The second argument is the virtual location the GUI
 *    element should be moved to.
 *
 * The gui_private member may be used by the derived class to
 *    store any additional GUI-specific data.
