XtSetSelectionParameters


NAME

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

SYNTAX

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

ARGUMENTS

requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of clase 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 indicated 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 subsequent call to XtGetSe- lectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental specify- ing the same requestor widget and selection atomm will generate a ConvertSelection request referring referring to the property containing the parameters. If XtSetSelection- Parameters 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 subse- quent 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 selection request, pre- cede individual calls to XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with corresponding individ- ual calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these all within XtCreateSelectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRequest. XtGetSelectionValues and XtGetSe- lectionValuesIncremental cannot be used to make selection requests with parameterized targets.
