NAME

6       XtSetSelectionParameters - specify target parameters for a selection
7       request with a single target
8

SYNTAX

10       void XtSetSelectionParameters(Widget requestor, Atom selection, Atom
11              type, XtPointer value, unsigned long length, int format);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of class
15                 Core or any subclass thereof.
16
17       selection Specifies the atom that names the selection.
18
19       type      Specifies the type of the property in which the parameters
20                 will be passed.
21
22       value     Specifies a pointer to the parameters.
23
24       length    Specifies the number of elements containing data in value,
25                 each element of a sized indicated by format.
26
27       format    Specifies the size in bits of the data in the elements of
28                 value.

DESCRIPTION

31       The specified parameters will be copied and stored in a new property of
32       the specified type and format on the requestor's window. To initiate a
33       selection request with a target and these parameters, a subsequent call
34       to XtGetSelectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental specifying
35       the same requestor widget and selection atom will generate a ConvertSe‐
36       lection request referring referring to the property containing the
37       parameters. If XtSetSelectionParameters is called more than once with
38       the same widget and selection without a call to specify a request, the
39       most recently specified parameters are used in the subsequent request.
40
41       The possible values of format may be 8, 16, or 32. If the format is 8,
42       the elements of value are assumed to be sizeof(char); if 16,
43       sizeof(short); if 32, sizeof(long).
44
45       To generate a MULTIPLE target request with parameters for any of the
46       multiple targets of the selection request, precede individual calls to
47       XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with correspond‐
48       ing individual calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these all
49       within XtCreateSelectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRequest.  XtGetSe‐
50       lectionValues and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental cannot be used  to
51       make selection requests with parameterized targets.
