DESCRIPTION

59       The XtClass function returns a pointer to the widget's class structure.
60
61       The XtSuperclass function returns a pointer to the widget's superclass
62       class structure.
63
64       The XtIsSubclass function returns True if the class of the specified
65       widget is equal to or is a subclass of the specified class.  The wid‐
66       get's class can be any number of subclasses down the chain and need not
67       be an immediate subclass of the specified class.  Composite widgets
68       that need to restrict the class of the items they contain can use XtIs‐
69       Subclass to find out if a widget belongs to the desired class of
70       objects.
71
72       The XtCheckSubclass macro determines if the class of the specified wid‐
73       get is equal to or is a subclass of the specified widget class.  The
74       widget can be any number of subclasses down the chain and need not be
75       an immediate subclass of the specified widget class.  If the specified
76       widget is not a subclass, XtCheckSubclass constructs an error message
77       from the supplied message, the widget's actual class, and the expected
78       class and calls XtErrorMsg.  XtCheckSubclass should be used at the
79       entry point of exported routines to ensure that the client has passed
80       in a valid widget class for the exported operation.
81
82       XtCheckSubclass is only executed when the widget has been compiled with
83       the compiler symbol DEBUG defined; otherwise, it is defined as the
84       empty string and generates no code.
85
86       To test if a given widget belongs to a subclass of an Intrinsics-
87       defined class, the Intrinsics defines macros or functions equivalent to
88       XtIsSubclass for each of the built-in classes.  These procedures are
89       XtIsObject, XtIsRectObj, XtIsWidget, XtIsComposite, XtIsConstraint,
90       XtIsShell, XtIsOverrideShell, XtIsWMShell, XtIsVendorShell, XtIs‐
91       TransientShell, XtIsTopLevelShell, XtIsApplicationShell, and XtIsSes‐
92       sionShell.
