NAMEXmRepTypeRegister — A representation type manager function that regis‐
ters a representation type resource
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RepType.h>
XmRepTypeId XmRepTypeRegister(
String rep_type,
String *value_names,
unsigned char *values,
unsigned char num_values);
DESCRIPTIONXmRepTypeRegister registers a representation type resource with the
representation type manager. All features of the representation type
management facility become available for the specified representation
type. The function installs a forward type converter to convert string
values to numerical representation type values.
When the values argument is NULL, consecutive numerical values are
assumed. The order of the strings in the value_names array determines
the numerical values for the resource. For example, the first value
name is 0 (zero); the second value name is 1; and so on.
If it is non-NULL, the values argument can be used to assign values to
representation types that have nonconsecutive values or have duplicate
names for the same value. Representation types registered in this man‐
ner will consume additional storage and will be slightly slower than
representation types with consecutive values.
A representation type can only be registered once; if the same repre‐
sentation type name is registered more than once, the behavior is unde‐
fined.
The function XmRepTypeAddReverse installs a reverse converter for a
registered representation type. The reverse converter takes a represen‐
tation type numerical value and returns the corresponding string value.
If the list of numerical values for a representation type contains
duplicate values, the reverse converter uses the first name in the
value_names list that matches the specified numeric value. For example,
if a value_names array has cancel, proceed, and abort, and the corre‐
sponding values array contains 0, 1, and 0, the reverse converter will
return cancel instead of abort for an input value of 0.
rep_type Specifies the representation type name.
value_names
Specifies a pointer to an array of value names associated
with the representation type. A value name is specified in
lowercase characters without an Xm prefix. Words within a
name are separated with underscores.
values Specifies a pointer to an array of values associated with the
representation type. A value in this array is associated with
the value name in the corresponding position of the
value_names array.
num_values
Specifies the number of entries in the value_names and values
arrays.
RETURN
Returns the identification number for the specified representation
type.
