XkbChangeControls(3)                            XKB FUNCTIONS                           XkbChangeControls(3)



NAME
       XkbChangeControls  -  Provides a flexible method for updating the controls in a server to match those
       in the changed keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbChangeControls ( dpy, xkb, changes )
             Display *dpy;
             XkbDescPtr xkb;
             XkbControlsChangesPtr changes;

ARGUMENTS
       - dpy  connection to X server

       - xkb  keyboard description with changed xkb->ctrls

       - changes
              which parts of xkb->ctrls have changed

DESCRIPTION
       The XkbControlsChangesRec structure allows applications to track modifications to  an  XkbControlsRec
       structure and thereby reduce the amount of traffic sent to the server. The same XkbControlsChangesRec
       structure may be used in several successive modifications to the same XkbControlsRec structure,  then
       subsequently  used to cause all of the changes, and only the changes, to be propagated to the server.

       The changed_ctrls field is a mask specifying which logical sets of data  in  the  controls  structure
       have been modified. In this context, modified means set, that is, if a value is set to the same value
       it previously contained, it has still been modified, and  is  noted  as  changed.  Valid  values  for
       changed_ctrls  are any combination of the masks listed in Table 1 that have "ok" in the changed_ctrls
       column. Setting a bit implies the corresponding data fields from the  "Relevant  XkbControlsRec  Data
       Fields" column in Table 1 have been modified. The enabled_ctrls_changes field specifies which bits in
       the  enabled_ctrls  field  have  changed.  If  the  number  of  keyboard  groups  has  changed,   the
       num_groups_changed field is set to True.

       Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select controls for modification
       and to enable and disable the control. Note that the same mask bit is used to specify general modifi-cations modifications
       cations  to  the parameters used to configure the control (which), and to enable and disable the con-trol control
       trol (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no "ok" in column) are for controls  that  have  no
       configurable  attributes;  and  for  controls  that  are not boolean controls and therefore cannot be
       enabled or disabled.

       Table 2 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select
       controls for
       modification and to enable and disable the control. Note that the same mask bit
       is used to
       specify general modifications to the parameters used to configure the control
       (which), and to
       enable and disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no
       "ok" in column)
       are for controls that have no configurable attributes; and for controls that are
       not boolean
       controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

       If  you  have  an  Xkb description with controls that have been modified and an XkbControlsChangesRec
       that describes the changes that have been made, the XkbChangeControls function  provides  a  flexible
       method for updating the controls in a server to match those in the changed keyboard description.

       XkbChangeControls  copies any controls fields specified by changes from the keyboard description con-
       trols structure, xkb->ctrls, to the server specified by dpy.

STRUCTURES
       The XkbControlsChangesRec structure is defined as follows:

       typedef struct _XkbControlsChanges {
           unsigned int  changed_ctrls;         /* bits indicating changed control data
       */
           unsigned int  enabled_ctrls_changes; /* bits indicating enabled/disabled
       controls */
           Bool          num_groups_changed;    /* True if number of keyboard groups
       changed */
       } XkbControlsChangesRec,*XkbControlsChangesPtr;
