;;; Commentary:

;; This file is dumped with XEmacs.

;; If you want to use this code, please visit the URL above.

;; This file only contain the code needed to define new widget types.
;; Everything else is autoloaded from `wid-edit.el'.

;;; Code:

(defun define-widget (name class doc &rest args)
  "Define a new widget type named NAME from CLASS.

NAME and CLASS should both be symbols, CLASS should be one of the
existing widget types, or nil to create the widget from scratch.

After the new widget has been defined, the following two calls will
create identical widgets:

* (widget-create NAME)

* (apply 'widget-create CLASS ARGS)

The third argument DOC is a documentation string for the widget."
  (check-argument-type 'symbolp name)
  (check-argument-type 'symbolp class)
  (put name 'widget-type (cons class args))
  (put name 'widget-documentation doc)
  name)

;;; The End.

(provide 'widget)

;;; widget.el ends here
