XmSetProtocolHooks(3X)													    XmSetProtocolHooks(3X)

NAME

       XmSetProtocolHooks - A VendorShell function that allows pre and post actions to be executed when a protocol message is received from MWM

SYNOPSIS

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

       void XmSetProtocolHooks (shell, property, protocol, prehook, pre_closure, posthook, post_closure)
	       Widget shell;
	       Atom property;
	       Atom protocol;
	       XtCallbackProc prehook;
	       XtPointer pre_closure;
	       XtCallbackProc posthook;
	       XtPointer post_closure;

       void XmSetWMProtocolHooks (shell, protocol, prehook, pre_closure, posthook, post_closure)
	       Widget shell;
	       Atom protocol;
	       XtCallbackProc prehook;
	       XtPointer pre_closure;
	       XtCallbackProc posthook;
	       XtPointer post_closure;

DESCRIPTION

       XmSetProtocolHooks  is  used  by shells that want to have pre and post actions executed when a protocol message is received from MWM. Since
       there is no guaranteed ordering in execution of event handlers or callback lists, this allows the shell to control the flow  while  leaving
       the protocol manager structures opaque.

       XmSetWMProtocolHooks is a convenience interface.  It calls XmSetProtocolHooks with the property value set to the atom returned by interning
       WM_PROTOCOLS.  Specifies the widget with which the protocol property is associated Specifies the protocol property Specifies  the  protocol
       atom  (or an int cast to Atom) Specifies the procedure to call before calling entries on the client callback-list Specifies the client data
       to be passed to the prehook when it is invoked Specifies the procedure to call after calling entries on the client callback-list  Specifies
       the client data to be passed to the posthook when it is invoked

       For a complete definition of VendorShell and its associated resources, see VendorShell(3X).
