XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)NAME
XtGetSelectionValue, XtGetSelectionValues - obtain selection values
SYNOPSIS
void XtGetSelectionValue(w, selection, target, callback, client_data,
time)
Widget w;
Atom selection;
Atom target;
XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
XtPointer client_data;
Time time;
void XtGetSelectionValues(w, selection, targets, count, callback,
client_data, time)
Widget w;
Atom selection;
Atom *targets;
int count;
XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
XtPointer client_data;
Time time;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the callback procedure that is to be called when the selec‐
tion value has been obtained. Specifies the argument that is to be
passed to the specified procedure when it is called. Specifies the
client data (one for each target type) that is passed to the callback
procedure when it is called for that target. Specifies the length of
the targets and client_data lists. Specifies the particular selection
desired (that is, primary or secondary). Specifies the type of the
information that is needed about the selection. Specifies the types of
information that is needed about the selection. Specifies the time‐
stamp that indicates when the selection value is desired. Specifies
the widget that is making the request. The widget must be realized.
DESCRIPTION
The XtGetSelectionValue function requests the value of the selection
that has been converted to the target type. The specified callback will
be called some time after XtGetSelectionValue is called; in fact, it
may be called before or after XtGetSelectionValue returns.
The XtGetSelectionValues function is similar to XtGetSelectionValue
except that it takes a list of target types and a list of client data
and obtains the current value of the selection converted to each of the
targets. The effect is as if each target were specified in a separate
call to XtGetSelectionValue. The callback is called once with the cor‐
responding client data for each target. XtGetSelectionValues does
guarantee 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 would be when calling XtGetSelectionValue repeatedly.
