XtSetSelectionParameters(3)                     XT FUNCTIONS                     XtSetSelectionParameters(3)



NAME
       XtSetSelectionParameters - specify target parameters for a selection request with a single target

SYNTAX
       void XtSetSelectionParameters(Widget requestor, Atom selection, Atom type, XtPointer value, unsigned
              long length, int format);

ARGUMENTS
       requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of class Core or any subclass thereof.

       selection Specifies the atom that names the selection.

       type      Specifies the type of the property in which the parameters will be passed.

       value     Specifies a pointer to the parameters.

       length    Specifies the number of elements containing data in value, each element of a sized indi-cated indicated
                 cated by format.

       format    Specifies the size in bits of the data in the elements of value.

DESCRIPTION
       The specified parameters will be copied and stored in a new property of the specified type and format
       on the requestor's window. To initiate a selection request with a target and these parameters, a sub-sequent subsequent
       sequent call to XtGetSelectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental specifying the same
       requestor widget and selection atom will generate a ConvertSelection request referring referring to
       the property containing the parameters. If XtSetSelectionParameters is called more than once with the
       same widget and selection without a call to specify a request, the most recently specified parameters
       are used in the subsequent request.

       The possible values of format may be 8, 16, or 32. If the format is 8, the elements of value are
       assumed to be sizeof(char); if 16, sizeof(short); if 32, sizeof(long).

       To generate a MULTIPLE target request with parameters for any of the multiple targets of the selec-tion selection
       tion request, precede individual calls to XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with
       corresponding individual calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these all within XtCreateSe-lectionRequest XtCreateSelectionRequest
       lectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRequest.  XtGetSelectionValues and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental
       cannot be used  to make selection requests with parameterized targets.
