XtAppPending() XtAppPending() Name XtAppPending - determine whether any events are in an application's input queue. Synopsis XtInputMask XtAppPending(app_context) XtAppContext app_context; Inputs app_context Specifies the application context. Returns An XtInputMask which indicates what kind of events, if any, are pending on app_context. Description XtAppPending() returns a nonzero value if there are pending events from the X server, timer, or other input sources. The return value is a bit mask that is the OR of XtIMXEvent (an X event), XtIMTimer (a timer event-see XtAppAddTimeOut()), and XtIMAlter- nateInput (an alternate input event-see XtAppAddInput()). As a convenience, the symbolic name XtIMAll is defined as the bitwise inclusive OR of all event types. If no events are pending, XtAppPending() flushes the output buffers of each display in the application context and returns zero. This call is the Intrinsics equivalent to the Xlib call XPending(). XtAppPending() never blocks. Usage Programs rarely need this much control over the event dispatching mechanism. Most programs use XtAppMainLoop(). Structures The XtInputMask type and its possible values are defined as follows: typedef unsigned long XtInputMask; #define XtIMXEvent 1 #define XtIMTimer 2 #define XtIMAlternateInput 4 #define XtIMAll (XtIMXEvent XtIMTimer XtIMAlternateInput) See Also XtAppAddInput(1), XtAppAddTimeOut(1), XtAppMainLoop(1), XtAppNextEvent(1), XtAppPeekEvent(1), XtAppProcessEvent(1), XtDispatchEvent(1).

XtAppProcessEvent() XtAppProcessEvent() Name XtAppProcessEvent - get and process one input event of a specified type. Synopsis void XtAppProcessEvent(app_context, mask) XtAppContext app_context; XtInputMask mask; Inputs app_context Specifies the application context for which to process events. mask Specifies what types of events to process. Description XtAppProcessEvent() processes one X event, alternate input source event or timer event in app_context. The mask argument specifies which types of events are to be processed; it is the bitwise inclusive OR ( ) of any of the values XtIMXEvent, XtIMTimer, or XtIMAlternateInput, or the value XtIMAll which specifies all three event types. If there is no event or input of the appropriate type to process, if there is a background work procedure registered (see XtAppAd- dWorkProc()) XtAppProcessEvent() calls that procedure and checks again for input from all specified sources. If there are no pending events and no work procedures registered, XtAppProcessEvent() blocks until an event of one of the specified types occurs. If X events are specified in mask, and no events are immediately available, XtAppProcessEvent() flushes the output buffer of each of the Displays in app_context. If there is more than one of the requested types of input available, it is undefined which will be processed. XtAppProcessEvent() handles timer and alternate input events by calling the callback procedures registered for those events (see XtAppAd- dTimeOut() and XtAppAddInput()). It handles X events by passing them to XtDispatchEvent(). XtDispatchEvent() handles an event by passing it to the appropriate event handlers (see XtAddEventHandler()) or to the Translation Manager (which is itself an event handler). Usage Programs rarely need this much control over the event dispatching mechanism. Most programs use XtAppMainLoop(). Structures The XtInputMask type and its possible values are defined as follows: typedef unsigned long XtInputMask; #define XtIMXEvent 1 #define XtIMTimer 2 #define XtIMAlternateInput 4 #define XtIMAll (XtIMXEvent XtIMTimer XtIMAlternateInput) See Also XtAppAddInput(1), XtAppAddTimeOut(1), XtAppAddWorkProc(1), XtAppMainLoop(1), XtAppNextEvent(1), XtAppPeekEvent(1), XtAppPending(1), XtDis- patchEvent(1).
