> Registers the toolbar button tb.

> The num argument controls the ordering of tb with respect to other toolbar buttons. If it is #f, then a number one smaller than the currently smallest number is used.

> The buttons are sorted by their numbers, from left to right in horizontal mode and from top to bottom in vertical mode. If buttons are in sub-panels they cannot, in general, be sorted entirely by number without changing the panel structure, but when a sub-panel appears as a sibling of some toolbar buttons, the sorting routine looks for the smallest number appearing in a button in the sub-panel, and uses that number when sorting the panel that appears with the buttons.

> A number of buttons already come with numbers: the Stop button’s number is 101, the Run button’s number is 100, the Scribble PDF button’s number is 99, the Scribble HTML button’s number is 98, the Macro Stepper button’s number is 70, the Debug button’s number is 60, the Stepper button’s number is 59, and the Check Syntax button’s number is 50.

> All three are children of the panel returned by get-button-panel.

> Registration is required so that the toolbar buttons properly switch orientation when the toolbar’s position is moved and the ordering via the number argument is preserved. See also sort-toolbar-buttons-panel.

interface drracket:unit:definitions-text<%> : interface?

This interface is implemented by the definitions text.

> > method (send a-drracket:unit:definitions-text after-set-next-settings language-settings)

> Default implementation:

> > method (send a-drracket:unit:definitions-text begin-metadata-changes)
> > → void?

> Augment this method to be notified when DrRacket is changing the buffer to insert metadata. The metadata is only inserted during saving, so tools that track changes to DrRacket will need to ignore changes that occur after this method is called, and before end-metadata-changes is called.

> A call to begin-metadata-changes will always be followed with a call to end-metadata-changes (ie, the calls cannot be nested).

> > method (send a-drracket:unit:definitions-text end-metadata-changes)
> > → void?

> Called when the changes to insert metadata are done, and the editor is back to its state at the time of the call to begin-metadata-changes.

> A call to begin-metadata-changes will always be followed with a call to end-metadata-changes (ie, the calls cannot be nested).

> > method (send a-drracket:unit:definitions-text get-next-settings)

> > method (send a-drracket:unit:definitions-text get-tab)

> Returns the editor’s enclosing tab.

> > method (send a-drracket:unit:definitions-text set-needs-execution-message msg)
> > → void?
> > msg : string?

> Specification: This method, when called, puts this DrRacket window in a state such that interactions submitted to the REPL will trigger a yellow warning message. The state is reset when the program is next Run.

> Default implementation: Records msg and uses it the next time the user submits an interaction (unless the Runs first).

class drracket:unit:definitions-canvas% : class?
superclass: editor-canvas%

Initializes the visibility of the save button.

> procedure (drracket:unit:get-definitions-text%)
> | → |  |
> (and/c (instanceof/c racket:text<%>)
> (instanceof/c text:info%)
> (implementation?/c drracket:unit:definitions-text<%>))

Returns the class used to implement the definitions text in the DrRacket frame. Its result mixes in drracket:unit:program-editor-mixin.

> procedure (drracket:unit:get-program-editor-mixin)
> → ((subclass?/c text%) . -> . (subclass?/c text%))

Returns a mixin that must be mixed in to any text% object that might contain program text (and thus can be in the source field of some syntax object).

See also drracket:unit:add-to-program-editor-mixin.

> procedure (drracket:unit:add-to-program-editor-mixin mixin) → void?
> mixin : ((subclass?/c text%) . -> . (subclass?/c text%))

This function can only be called in phase 1 (see Implementing DrRacket Plugins for details).

Adds mixin to the result of drracket:unit:get-program-editor-mixin.

> > procedure
> > (drracket:unit:open-drscheme-window | [ | filename |
> > |  | #:show? show?]) |
> → (is-a?/c drracket:unit:frame%)
> filename : (or/c string? #f) = #f
> show? : boolean? = #t

Opens a DrRacket frame that displays filename, or, if filename is #f, an empty file.

If show? is #t, then the show is not invoked before the function returns; otherwise it is.

> > procedure
> > (drracket:unit:add-search-help-desk-menu-item |  | text |  |  |  |

> text : (is-a?/c text%)
> menu : (is-a?/c menu-item-container<%>)
> position : exact-nonnegative-integer?
> add-sep : (-> any) = void

Adds a menu item to menu that searches in Help Desk for the word around position in text.

If there is only whitespace around position, then no menu-item%s are added, and add-sep is not called. If there is something to be added, then add-sep is called before the menu item is created.

> remove-all : (-> any/c any/c)

Holds callbacks for teachpack operations. DrRacket invokes these functions in response to GUI operations being triggered.

Each of the any/cs that appear in the field contracts are actually the settings of a language.

The get-names field returns the names of the teachpacks in the given settings; add returns a new settings that includes the path-string? argument as a new teachpack; remove removes the given teachpack and remove-all removes them all.

> value drracket:unit:struct:teachpack-callbacks : struct-type?

This is an alias for struct:drracket:unit:teachpack-callbacks.

> value drracket:unit:make-teachpack-callbacks : procedure?

This is an alias for make-drracket:unit:teachpack-callbacks.

> procedure (drracket:unit:find-symbol text pos) → string?
> text : (is-a?/c text%)
> pos : exact-nonnegative-integer?

returns a string that corresponds to the a symbol surrounding pos (in text).

This is intended to be used with the “f1” keybinding for searching in the documentation, so the result is not always a symbol, but instead a best effort to find something that is likely to be useful to search for around a point in the text.
