→ void?

key : symbol

menu : (is-a? menu%)

Registers the menu item that was most recently added as being controlled by the capability key. This means that the (boolean) value of the capability determines if the menu item is present in the menu (the capability is checked when the menus are cliked on).

This assumes that the menu items in this menu are not moved around, except by the this capability. If they are, things can go funny (i.e., no good checks are in place).

Note that the capability must be registered separately, via drracket:language:register-capability.

→ void?

tb : (is-a?/c switchable-button%)

Unregisters the toolbar button tb. Use this method to ensure that the button is not referenced by this frame and thus can be gc’d.

Specification: Called when the next settings changes. See also get-next-settings.

Default implementation:

(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).

(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).

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

→ (is-a?/c drracket:unit:tab%)

Returns the editor’s enclosing tab.

(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).

(send a-drracket:unit:definitions-text set-next-settings       language-settings      [ update-prefs?])

→ void?

language-settings : language-settings

update-prefs? : any/c = #t
