@defmodule[framework/notify]
@defclass[notify:notify-box% object% ()]{
A notify-box contains a mutable cell. The notify-box notifies its
listeners when the contents of the cell is changed.
@examples[#:eval the-eval
(define nb (new notify:notify-box% (value 'apple)))
(send nb get)
(send nb set 'orange)
(send nb listen (lambda (v) (printf "New value: ~s\n" v)))
(send nb set 'potato)
]
@defconstructor[([value any/c])]{
Creates a notify-box initially containing @racket[value].
}
@defmethod[(get) any/c]{
Gets the value currently stored in the notify-box.
}
@defmethod[(set [v any/c]) void?]{
Updates the value stored in the notify-box and notifies the listeners.
}
@defmethod[(listen [listener (-> any/c any)]) void?]{
Adds a callback to be invoked on the new value when the notify-box's
contents change.
}
@defmethod[(remove-listener [listener (-> any/c any)]) void?]{
Removes a previously-added callback.
}
@defmethod[(remove-all-listeners) void?]{
Removes all previously registered callbacks.

@defproc[(notify:notify-box/pref
[proc (case-> (-> any/c) (-> any/c void?))]
[#:readonly? readonly? boolean? #f])
(is-a?/c notify:notify-box%)]{
Creates a notify-box with an initial value of @racket[(proc)]. Unless
@racket[readonly?] is true, @racket[proc] is invoked on the new value
when the notify-box is updated.
Useful for tying a notify-box to a preference or parameter. Of course,
changes made directly to the underlying parameter or state are not
reflected in the notify-box.
@examples[#:eval the-eval
(define animal (make-parameter 'ant))
(define nb (notify:notify-box/pref animal))
(send nb listen (lambda (v) (printf "New value: ~s\n" v)))
(send nb set 'bee)
(animal 'cow)
(send nb get)
(send nb set 'deer)

@defform[(notify:define-notify name value-expr)
#:contracts ([value-expr (is-a?/c notify:notify-box%)])]{
Class-body form. Declares @racket[name] as a field and
@racketidfont{get-@racket[name]}, @racketidfont{set-@racket[name]},
and @racketidfont{listen-@racket[name]} as methods that delegate to
the @method[notify:notify-box% get], @method[notify:notify-box% set], and
@method[notify:notify-box% listen] methods of @racket[value].
The @racket[value-expr] argument must evaluate to a notify-box, not
just the initial contents for a notify box.
Useful for aggregating many notify-boxes together into one
``configuration'' object.
@examples[#:eval the-eval
(define config%
(class object%
(notify:define-notify food (new notify:notify-box% (value 'apple)))
(notify:define-notify animal (new notify:notify-box% (value 'ant)))
(super-new)))
(define c (new config%))
(send c listen-food
(lambda (v) (when (eq? v 'honey) (send c set-animal 'bear))))
(let ([food (get-field food c)])
(send food set 'honey))
(send c get-animal)

(is-a?/c checkable-menu-item%)]{
Creates a @racket[checkable-menu-item%] tied to @racket[notify-box]. The menu item is
checked whenever @racket[(send notify-box get)] is true. Clicking the
menu item toggles the value of @racket[notify-box] and invokes its listeners.

(is-a?/c check-box%)]{
Creates a @racket[check-box%] tied to @racket[notify-box]. The

true. Clicking the check box toggles the value of @racket[notify-box]
and invokes its listeners.

[notify-box (is-a?/c notify:notify-box%)])
(is-a?/c choice%)]{
Creates a @racket[choice%] tied to @racket[notify-box]. The choice
control has the value @racket[(send notify-box get)] selected, and
selecting a different choice updates @racket[notify-box] and invokes
its listeners.
If the value of @racket[notify-box] is not in @racket[choices], either
initially or upon an update, an error is raised.

Returns a list of @racket[checkable-menu-item%] controls tied to
@racket[notify-box]. A menu item is checked when its label is
@racket[(send notify-box get)]. Clicking a menu item updates
@racket[notify-box] to its label and invokes @racket[notify-box]'s
listeners.
