XtSetSelectionParameters(3Xt)XtSetSelectionParameters(3Xt)NAMEXtSetSelectionParameters - specify target parameters for a selection
request with a single target
SYNOPSIS
void XtSetSelectionParameters(requestor, selection, type, value,
length, format)
Widget requestor;
Atom selection;
Atom type;
XtPointer value;
unsigned long length;
int format;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of class Core or any
subclass thereof. Specifies the atom that names the selection. Speci‐
fies the type of the property in which the parameters will be passed.
Specifies a pointer to the parameters. Specifies the number of ele‐
ments containing data in value, each element of a sized indicated by
format. Specifies the size in bits of the data in the elements of
value.
DESCRIPTION
The specified parameters will be copied and stored in a new property of
the specified type and format on the requestor's window. To initiate a
selection request with a target and these parameters, a subsequent call
to XtGetSelectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental specifying
the same requestor widget and selection atom will generate a ConvertSe‐
lection request referring to the property containing the parameters. If
XtSetSelectionParameters is called more than once with the same widget
and selection without a call to specify a request, the most recently
specified parameters are used in the subsequent request.
The possible values of format may be 8, 16, or 32. If the format is 8,
the elements of value are assumed to be sizeof(char); if 16,
sizeof(short); if 32, sizeof(long).
To generate a MULTIPLE target request with parameters for any of the
multiple targets of the selection request, precede individual calls to
XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with correspond‐
ing individual calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these all
within XtCreateSelectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRequest. XtGetSe‐
lectionValues and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental cannot be used to
make selection requests with parameterized targets.
