Types


type parameter_kind
This type represents the different kinds of parameters.
type configuration_structure =
| Section of string * parameter_kind list (*
label of the section, parameters
*)
| Section_list of string * configuration_structure list (*
label of the section, list of the sub sections
*)
This type represents the structure of the configuration window.
type return_button =
| Return_apply (*

*)
| Return_ok (*

Functions to create parameters


val string : ?editable:bool ->
       ?expand:bool ->
       ?help:string ->
       ?f:(string -> unit) -> string -> string -> parameter_kind
string label value creates a string parameter.
editable : indicate if the value is editable (default is true).
expand : indicate if the entry widget must expand or not (default is true).
help : an optional help message.
f : the function called to apply the value (default function does nothing).
val custom_string : ?editable:bool ->
       ?expand:bool ->
       ?help:string ->
       ?f:('a -> unit) ->
       to_string:('a -> string) ->
       of_string:(string -> 'a) -> string -> 'a -> parameter_kind
Same as Configwin.string but for values which are not strings.
val bool : ?editable:bool ->
       ?help:string ->
       ?f:(bool -> unit) -> string -> bool -> parameter_kind
bool label value creates a boolean parameter.
editable : indicate if the value is editable (default is true).

strings label value creates a string list parameter.
editable : indicate if the value is editable (default is true).
help : an optional help message.
f : the function called to apply the value (default function does nothing).
eq : the comparison function, used not to have doubles in list. Default is Pervasives.(=). If you want to allow doubles in the list, give a function always returning false.
add : the function returning a list of strings when the user wants to add strings (default returns an empty list).
