NAME

       XmClipboardCancelCopy - A clipboard function that cancels a copy to the clipboard

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>

       int XmClipboardCancelCopy (display, window, item_id)
	       Display * display;
	       Window window;
	       long item_id;

DESCRIPTION

       XmClipboardCancelCopy  cancels  the  copy  to clipboard that is in progress and frees up temporary storage. When a copy is to be performed,
       XmClipboardStartCopy allocates temporary storage for the clipboard data.  XmClipboardCopy copies the appropriate data  into  the  temporary
       storage.   XmClipboardEndCopy  copies  the  data to the clipboard structure and frees up the temporary storage structures.  If XmClipboard-
       CancelCopy is called, the XmClipboardEndCopy function does not have to be called.  A call to XmClipboardCancelCopy is valid  only  after  a
       call  to XmClipboardStartCopy and before a call to XmClipboardEndCopy.  Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a
       previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.  Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard. The  wid-
       get's  window  ID  can be obtained by using XtWindow. The same application instance should pass the same window ID to each of the clipboard
       functions that it calls.  Specifies the number assigned to this data item.  This number was returned by a  previous  call  to  XmClipboard-
       StartCopy.

RETURN VALUE

       The  function is successful.  The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another application.  The application can continue to
       call the function again with the same parameters until the lock goes away.  This gives the application the opportunity to ask if  the  user
       wants  to  keep trying or to give up on the operation.  The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy was not called or because the data
       item contains too many formats.

NAME

       XmClipboardCopy - A clipboard function that copies a data item to temporary storage for later copying to clipboard

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>

       int XmClipboardCopy (display, window, item_id, format_name, buffer, length, private_id, data_id)
	       Display * display;
	       Window window;
	       long item_id;
	       char * format_name;
	       XtPointer buffer;
	       unsigned long length;
	       long private_id;
	       long * data_id;

DESCRIPTION

       XmClipboardCopy copies a data item to temporary storage. The data item is moved from temporary storage to the clipboard data structure when
       a call to XmClipboardEndCopy is made. Additional calls to XmClipboardCopy before a call to XmClipboardEndCopy add additional data item for-
       mats  to the same data item or append data to an existing format.  Formats are described in the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Man-
       ual (ICCCM) as targets.

									  Note

       Do not call XmClipboardCopy before a call to XmClipboardStartCopy has been made.  The latter function allocates temporary storage  required
       by XmClipboardCopy.

       If  the	buffer argument is NULL, the data is considered to be passed by name. When data that has been passed by name is later requested by
       another application, the application that owns the data receives a callback with a request for the data.  The  application  that  owns  the
       data  must  then  transfer  the	data to the clipboard with the XmClipboardCopyByName function. When a data item that was passed by name is
       deleted from the clipboard, the application that owns the data receives a callback stating that the data is no longer needed.

       For information on the callback function, see the callback argument description for XmClipboardStartCopy(3X).  Specifies a pointer  to  the
       Display	structure  that  was  returned	in  a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.  Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the
       application window to the clipboard.  The widget's window ID can be obtained by using XtWindow. The same application instance  should  pass
       the  same  window  ID  to  each of the clipboard functions that it calls.  Specifies the number assigned to this data item. This number was
       returned by a previous call to XmClipboardStartCopy.  Specifies the name of the format in which the data item is stored on  the	clipboard.
       Format  is  known as target in the ICCCM.  Specifies the buffer from which the clipboard copies the data.  Specifies the length of the data
       being copied to the clipboard.  Specifies the private data that the application wants to store with the data item.  Specifies an  identify-
       ing number assigned to the data item that uniquely identifies the data item and the format. This argument is required only for data that is
       passed by name.

RETURN VALUE

       The function is successful.  The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another application.  The application can continue	to
       call  the  function again with the same parameters until the lock goes away.  This gives the application the opportunity to ask if the user
       wants to keep trying or to give up on the operation.  The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy was not called or because  the  data
       item contains too many formats.
