- .SH NAME
- Tk_OwnSelection \- make a window the owner of the primary selection
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- \fB#include <tk.h>\fR
- .sp
- \fBTk_OwnSelection\fR(\fItkwin, proc, clientData\fR)
- .SH ARGUMENTS
- .AS Tk_LostSelProc clientData
- .AP Tk_Window tkwin in
- Window that is to become new selection owner.
- .AP Tk_LostSelProc *proc in
- Procedure to invoke when \fItkwin\fR loses selection ownership later.
- .AP ClientData clientData in
- Arbitrary one-word value to pass to \fIproc\fR.

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBTk_OwnSelection\fR arranges for \fItkwin\fR to become the
- new owner of the primary selection. After this call completes, future requests
- for the selection will be directed to handlers created for
- \fItkwin\fR using \fBTk_CreateSelHandler\fR. When \fItkwin\fR
- eventually loses the selection ownership, \fIproc\fR will be
- invoked so that the window can clean itself up (e.g. by
- unhighlighting the selection). \fIProc\fR should have arguments and
- result that match the type \fBTk_LostSelProc\fR:
- .nf
- .RS
- typedef void Tk_LostSelProc(ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
- .RE
- .fi
- The \fIclientData\fP parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy of the
- \fIclientData\fP argument given to \fBTk_OwnSelection\fR, and is
- usually a pointer to a data structure containing application-specific
- information about \fItkwin\fR.
- .PP
- Once a window has become selection owner, it will remain owner until
- either the window is deleted or until some other window claims
- ownership. There is no way for a window to disavow ownership of the
- selection once it has received it.
-
- .SH KEYWORDS
- own, selection owner
