MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy(3X)MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy(3X)NAMEMrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy — Registers the values associated with the
names referenced in UIL within a single hierarchy (for example, UIL
callback function names or UIL identifier names)
SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy(hierarchy_id, register_list, reg‐
ister_count) MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id; MrmRegisterAr‐
glist register_list; MrmCount register_count;
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
DESCRIPTION
The MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy function registers a vector of names
and associated values for access in MRM. The values can be callback
functions, pointers to user-defined data, or any other values. The
information provided is used to resolve symbolic references occurring
in UID files to their run-time values.For callbacks, this information
provides the procedure address required by the Motif Toolkit. For
names used as identifiers in UIL, this information provides any run-
time mapping the application needs.
This function is similar to MrmRegisterNames, except that the scope of
the names registered by MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited to the
hierarchy specified by hierarchy_id, whereas the names registered by
MrmRegisterNames have global scope. When MRM looks up a name, it first
tries to find the name among those registered for the given hierarchy.
If that lookup fails, it tries to find the name among those registered
globally. Specifies the hierarchy with which the names are to be asso‐
ciated. Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names to be reg‐
istered. Each name is a case-sensitive, NULL-terminated ASCII string.
Each value is a 32-bit quantity, interpreted as a procedure address if
the name is a callback function, and uninterpreted otherwise. Speci‐
fies the number of entries in register_list.
The names in the list are case-sensitive. The list can be either
ordered or unordered.
Callback functions registered through MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy can
be either regular or creation callbacks. Regular callbacks have decla‐
rations determined by Motif Toolkit and user requirements. Creation
callbacks have the same format as any other callback: void CallBack‐
Proc(widget_id, tag, callback_data) Widget *wid‐
get_id; Opaque tag; XmAnyCallbackStruct *call‐
back_data; Specifies the widget ID associated with the widget perform‐
ing the callback (as in any callback function). Specifies the tag
value (as in any callback function). Specifies a widget-specific data
structure. This data structure has a minimum of two members: event and
reason. The reason member is always set to MrmCR_CREATE.
Note that the widget name and parent are available from the widget
record accessible through widget_id.
RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants: The func‐
tion executed successfully. The function failed.
