NAME

6       MrmFetchWidget — Fetches and creates an indexed (UIL named) application
7       widget and its children
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
11       Cardinal MrmFetchWidget(
12       MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id,
13       String index,
14       Widget parent_widget,
15       Widget *widget,
16       MrmType *class);

DESCRIPTION

19       The MrmFetchWidget function fetches and creates an indexed  application
20       widget  and its children.  The indexed application widget is any widget
21       that is named in UIL.  In fetch operations, the fetched  widget's  sub‐
22       tree  is  also fetched and created.  This widget must not appear as the
23       child of a widget within its own subtree. MrmFetchWidget does not  exe‐
24       cute XtManageChild for the newly created widget.
25
26       All  widgets fetched by a call to MrmFetchWidget are not managed at the
27       time of their creation callbacks.
28
29       hierarchy_id
30                 Specifies the ID of  the  UID  hierarchy  that  contains  the
31                 interface definition.  The value of hierarchy_id was returned
32                 in a previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.
33
34       index     Specifies the UIL name of the widget to fetch.
35
36       parent_widget
37                 Specifies the parent widget ID.
38
39       widget    Returns the widget ID of the created widget.
40
41       class     This argument must be set to an actual pointer; it cannot  be
42                 a  NULL  pointer.  MrmFetchWidget  sets  this  argument to an
43                 implementation dependent value.
44
45       An application can fetch any named widget in the  UID  hierarchy  using
46       MrmFetchWidget.   MrmFetchWidget  can  be called at any time to fetch a
47       widget that was not fetched at application startup.  MrmFetchWidget can
48       be  used  to  defer fetching pop-up widgets until they are first refer‐
49       enced (presumably in a callback), and then used to fetch them once.
50
51       MrmFetchWidget can also create multiple instances of a widget (and  its
52       subtree).   In this case, the UID definition functions as a template; a
53       widget definition can be fetched any number of times.   An  application
54       can use this template to make multiple instances of a widget, for exam‐
55       ple, in a dialog box box or menu.
56
57       The index (UIL name) that identifies the widget must be  known  to  the
58       application.

RETURN

61       This function returns one of the following status return constants:
62
63       MrmSUCCESS

65
66       MrmBAD_HIERARCHY
67                 The hierarchy ID was invalid.
68
69       MrmNOT_FOUND
70                 The widget was not found in UID hierarchy.
71
72       MrmFAILURE
73                 The function failed.
