XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental()XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental()Name
XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental - obtain multiple selection values
using incremental transfers.
Synopsis
void XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental(w, selection, targets, count,
callback, client_data, time)
Widget w;
Atom selection;
Atom *targets;
int count;
XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
XtPointer *client_data;
Time time;
Inputs
w Specifies the widget that is making the request.
selection Specifies the particular selection desired (usually XA_PRI‐
MARY or XA_SECONDARY).
targets Specifies the types of information about the selection that
are being requested.
count Specifies the length of the targets and client_data arrays.
callback Specifies the callback procedure that is to be called to
receive each selection value.
client_data
Specifies an array of client data (one for each target type)
each element of which will be passed to callback when it is
called for the corresponding element of targets.
time Specifies the timestamp that indicates when the selection
request was initiated. This should be the timestamp of the
event which triggered this request; the value CurrentTime is
not acceptable.
Availability
Release 4 and later.
DescriptionXtGetSelectionValuesIncremental() is similar to XtGetSelectionValueIn‐
cremental() except that it takes an array of target types and an array
of client data and requests the current value of the selection be con‐
verted to each of the targets. The effect is as if each target were
specified in a separate call to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental(),
except that XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental() guarantees that all the
conversions will use the same selection value because the ownership of
the selection cannot change in the middle of the list, as could happen
when calling XtGetSelectionValueIncremental() repeatedly.
Note that the callback procedure passed to XtGetSelectionValuesIncre‐
mental() must be prepared to receive a segment of data for any of the
requested values. It is not guaranteed that all segments for one tar‐
get will be delivered before any segments for the next target are
delivered.
