NAME

       DtActionIcon -- get the icon information for an action

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Action.h>
       char *DtActionIcon(
       char *actionName);

DESCRIPTION

       The  DtActionIcon  function  gets  the  icon  information  for an action.  The actionName argument is the name of the action.  DtActionIcon
       returns the name of the icon associated with an actionName action.  If the action definition does not explicitly  identify  an  icon  name,
       this  function  returns the default action icon name, as described in dtactionfile(4) (``Action Selection'').  The default action icon name
       can be customized using the actionIcon X resource.

       If there are multiple actionName actions, the string returned is the icon associated with the most general action.  The most general action
       is the one with the lowest precedence, as described in dtactionfile(4) (``Action Selection'').

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful completion, the DtActionIcon function returns a newly allocated copy of the icon name string ( ICON field) associated with
       the action; otherwise, it returns NULL.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The DtActionIcon function is useful for applications that provide a graphical interface to actions.

       The application should use XtFree(3) to free the icon name string returned by the DtActionIcon function.

NAME

       DtActionLabel -- get the localizable label string for an action

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Action.h>
       char *DtActionLabel(
       char *actionName);

DESCRIPTION

       The DtActionLabel function provides access to the localizable label string associated with an action named actionName. The actionName argu-
       ment is the name of the action.	The localizable label string is the string that all components should display to identify the action.	If
       the action definition does not specify a label string, the action name itself is returned.

       The label string associated with an action is localizable, but the action name is not.

       If there are multiple actionName actions, the label string returned is the label associated with the most general action.  The most general
       action is the one with the lowest precedence, as described in dtactionfile(4) (``Action Selection'').

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the DtActionLabel function returns a newly allocated copy of the localizable label string associated  with  the
       action  if  an action named actionName is found; otherwise, it returns NULL. It is up to the caller to free the memory associated with this
       new copy of the label.  The default value for an action label is the action name itself.

APPLICATION USAGE

       All applications displaying action names should use the action label to identify an action.
