+ Controls when callbacks are done. The following values are useful,
+ the default value is FL_WHEN_RELEASE:
+
+ <UL>
+
+ <LI>0: The callback is not done, but
+ changed() is turned on.</LI>
+
+ <LI>FL_WHEN_CHANGED: The callback is done each
+ time the text is changed by the user.</LI>
+
+ <LI>FL_WHEN_RELEASE: The callback will be done
+ when this widget loses the focus, including when the
+ window is unmapped. This is a useful value for text
+ fields in a panel where doing the callback on every
+ change is wasteful. However the callback will also
+ happen if the mouse is moved out of the window, which
+ means it should not do anything visible (like pop up an
+ error message). You might do better setting this to
+ zero, and scanning all the items for changed()
+ when the OK button on a panel is pressed.</LI>
+
+ <LI>FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY: If the user types the
+ Enter key, the entire text is selected, and the callback
+ is done if the text has changed. Normally the Enter key
+ will navigate to the next field (or insert a newline for
+ a Fl_Mulitline_Input), this changes the
+ behavior.</LI>
+
+ <LI>FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY|FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED: The
+ Enter key will do the callback even if the text has not
+ changed. Useful for command fields.</LI>
+
+ </UL>
+ Return the conditions under which the callback is called.
