XSelectionRequestEvent - SelectionRequest event structure
Structures
The structure for events contains:
typedef struct {
int type; /* SelectionRequest */
unsigned long serial; /* # of last request processed by
server */
Bool send_event; /* true if came from a SendEvent
request */
Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */
Window owner;
Window requestor;
Atom selection;
Atom target;
Atom property;
Time time;
} XSelectionRequestEvent;
When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.
The type member is set to the event type constant name that uniquely identifies it. For example, when the X server reports a event to a
client application, it sends an structure with the type member set to The display member is set to a pointer to the display the event was
read on. The send_event member is set to if the event came from a protocol request. The serial member is set from the serial number
reported in the protocol but expanded from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a full 32-bit value. The window member is set to the win-
dow that is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.
The owner member is set to the window owning the selection and is the window that was specified by the current owner in its call. The
requestor member is set to the window requesting the selection. The selection member is set to the atom that names the selection. For
example, PRIMARY is used to indicate the primary selection. The target member is set to the atom that indicates the type the selection is
desired in. The property member can be a property name or The time member is set to the time and is a timestamp or from the request.
