20 drracket:module-language-tools
If the result of read-language for a language is a function, DrRacket will query it to determine if there are any new toolbar buttons to be used when editing files in this language (when DrRacket’s language is set to the Module language).
(or/c (listof (list/c string? (is-a?/c bitmap%) (-> (is-a?/c drracket:unit:frame<%>) any) (or/c real? #f))) #f)
If the result is #f, then no toolbar buttons are created.
To implement functionality similar to the Run button, call the execute-callback method. You may also want to use the drracket:rep:after-expression parameter.
If 'drracket:toolbar-buttons is not recognized, DrRacket will also pass 'drscheme:toolbar-buttons; this is for backwards compatibility and new code should not use it. Similarly, if the fourth element from the list (the argument to #:number) is not present, then it is treated as #f.
procedure
(drracket:module-language-tools:add-opt-out-toolbar-button make-button id [ #:number number]) → void?
make-button :
(-> (is-a?/c top-level-window<%>) (is-a?/c area-container<%>) (is-a?/c switchable-button%)) id : symbol? number : (or/c real? #f) = #f
The number argument is the same as the number argument to register-toolbar-button.
procedure
(drracket:module-language-tools:add-online-expansion-handler mod-path id local-handler) → void? mod-path : path-string? id : symbol?
local-handler :
(-> (is-a?/c drracket:unit:definitions-text<%>) any/c any)
The first two arguments name a procedure in a module that is loaded by dynamic-require is a separate place. When DrRacket detects that the editor has been modified, it sends the contents of the editor over to that separate place, expands the program there, and then supplies the fully expanded object to that first procedure. (The procedure is called in the same context as the expansion process.)
The path? argument is the path that was the current-directory when the code was expanded. This directory should be used as the current-directory when resolving module paths obtained from the syntax object.
The third argument is the source object used in the syntax objects that come from the definitions window in DrRacket. It may be a path (if the file was saved), but it also might not be. Use equal? to compare it with the syntax-source field of syntax objects to determine if they come from the definitions window.
Note that the thread that calls this procedure may be killed at any time: DrRacket may kill it when the user types in the buffer (in order to start a new expansion), but bizarro code may also create a separate thread during expansion that lurks around and then mutates arbitrary things.
Some code, however, should be longer running, surviving such custodian shutdowns. To support this, the procedure called in the separate place is supplied with a more powerful custodian that is not shut down.
The result of the procedure is expected to be something that can be sent across a place-channel, which is then sent back to the original place where DrRacket itself is running and passed to the local-handler argument. At this point, the only code running is trusted code (DrRacket itself and other tools), but any long running computations may freeze DrRacket’s GUI, since this procedure is invoked on DrRacket’s eventspace’s handler thread.
