XkbChangeEnabledControls(3)                     XKB FUNCTIONS                    XkbChangeEnabledControls(3)



NAME
       XkbChangeEnabledControls - Manipulates the EnabledControls control

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbChangeEnabledControls ( dpy, device_spec, mask, values )
             Display * dpy ;
             unsigned int  device_spec ;
             unsigned int  mask ;
             unsigned int  values ;

ARGUMENTS
       - dpy  connection to X server

       - device_spec
               keyboard device to modify

       - mask 1 bit -> controls to enable / disable

       - values
              1 bit => enable, 0 bit => disable

DESCRIPTION
       The  EnabledControls  control  is a bit mask where each bit that is turned on means the corresponding
       control is enabled, and when turned off, disabled. It corresponds to the enabled_ctrls  field  of  an
       XkbControlsRec  structure  (see  STRUCTURES). The bits describing which controls are turned on or off
       are defined in Table 1.

       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.

       XkbAllControlsMask       ok                        (0xF8001FFF)

       The  mask  parameter  specifies  the  boolean controls to be enabled or disabled, and the values mask
       specifies the new state for those controls. Valid values for both of these masks are  composed  of  a
       bitwise  inclusive OR of bits taken from the set of mask bits in Table 1, using only those masks with
       "ok" in the enabled_ctrls column.

       If the X server does not support a compatible version of Xkb or the Xkb extension has not been  prop-
       erly  initialized,  XkbChangeEnabledControls  returns False; otherwise, it sends the request to the X
       server and returns True.

       Note that the EnabledControls control only enables and disables controls; it does not configure them.
       Some  controls,  such  as the AudibleBell control, have no configuration attributes and are therefore
       manipulated solely by enabling and disabling them. Others, however,  have  additional  attributes  to
       configure  their behavior. For example, the RepeatControl control uses repeat_delay and repeat_inter-val repeat_interval
       val fields to describe the timing behavior of keys that repeat. The RepeatControl behavior is  turned
       on  or  off  depending  on  the  value of the XkbRepeatKeysMask bit, but you must use other means, as
       described in this chapter, to configure its behavior in detail.

RETURN VALUES
       True           The X server supports a compatible version of Xkb.

       False          The X server does not support a compatible version of Xkb or the Xkb extension has not
                      been properly initialized.
