NAME
XmStringComponentCreate - A compound string function that
creates arbitrary components
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringComponentCreate(
XmStringComponentType c_type,
unsigned int length,
XtPointer value);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
XmStringComponentCreate creates a new XmString component of
type c_type, containing value. If value is invalid for the
particular component type, this function fails and returns
NULL.
c_type Specifies the type of component to be created.
length Specifies the length in bytes of value. Note that
this must be precisely the length of the
valuestring, not including any trailing null
characters.
value Specifies the value to be used in the creation of
the component.
Refer to the XmStringComponentType(3) reference page for a
list of the possible XmString component types.
RETURN
If value is invalid for c_type, fails and returns NULL.
Otherwise, this function returns a new compound string.
When the application no longer needs the returned compound
string, the application should call XmStringFree.
