XtMakeGeometryRequest(3)                        XT FUNCTIONS                        XtMakeGeometryRequest(3)



NAME
       XtMakeGeometryRequest, XtMakeResizeRequest - make geometry manager request

SYNTAX
       XtGeometryResult XtMakeGeometryRequest(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry *request, XtWidgetGeometry
              *reply_return);

       XtGeometryResult XtMakeResizeRequest(Widget w, Dimension width, height, Dimension *width_return,
              Dimension *height_return);

ARGUMENTS
       reply_return
                 Returns the allowed widget size or may be NULL if the requesting widget is not interested
                 in handling XtGeometryAlmost.

       request   Specifies the desired widget geometry (size, position, border width, and stacking order).

       w         Specifies the widget that is making the request.

       width_return
       height_return
                 Return the allowed widget width and height.

DESCRIPTION
       Depending on the condition, XtMakeGeometryRequest performs the following:

       •    If the widget is unmanaged or the widget's parent is not realized, it makes the changes and
            returns XtGeometryYes.

       •    If the parent is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass or the parent's geometry_manager is
            NULL, it issues an error.

       •    If the widget's being_destroyed field is True, it returns XtGeometryNo.

       •    If the widget x, y, width, height and border_width fields are all equal to the requested values,
            it returns XtGeometryYes; otherwise, it calls the parent's geometry_manager procedure with the
            given parameters.

       •    If the parent's geometry manager returns XtGeometryYes and if XtCWQueryOnly is not set in the
            request_mode and if the widget is realized, XtMakeGeometryRequest calls the XConfigureWindow
            Xlib function to reconfigure the widget's window (set its size, location, and stacking order as
            appropriate).

       •    If the geometry manager returns XtGeometryDone, the change has been approved and actually has
            been done.  In this case, XtMakeGeometryRequest does no configuring and returns XtGeometryYes.
            XtMakeGeometryRequest never returns XtGeometryDone.

       Otherwise, XtMakeGeometryRequest returns the resulting value from the parent's geometry manager.

       Children of primitive widgets are always unmanaged; thus, XtMakeGeometryRequest always returns XtGe-ometryYes XtGeometryYes
       ometryYes when called by a child of a primitive widget.

       The XtMakeResizeRequest function, a simple interface to XtMakeGeometryRequest, creates a XtWidgetGe-ometry XtWidgetGeometry
       ometry structure and specifies that width and height should change.  The geometry manager is free to
       modify any of the other window attributes (position or stacking order) to satisfy the resize request.
       If the return value is XtGeometryAlmost, width_return and height_return contain a compromise width
       and height.  If these are acceptable, the widget should immediately make an XtMakeResizeRequest and
       request that the compromise width and height be applied.  If the widget is not interested in XtGeome-tryAlmost XtGeometryAlmost
       tryAlmost replies, it can pass NULL for width_return and height_return.
