NAME

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

SYNTAX

10       #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
11
12       void XtSetSelectionParameters(Widget requestor, Atom selection, Atom
13              type, XtPointer value, unsigned long length, int format);
14

ARGUMENTS

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

DESCRIPTION

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