NAME

       XmActivateProtocol - A VendorShell function that activates a protocol

SYNOPSIS

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

       void XmActivateProtocol (shell, property, protocol)
	       Widget shell;
	       Atom property;
	       Atom protocol;

       void XmActivateWMProtocol (shell, protocol)
	       Widget shell;
	       Atom protocol;

DESCRIPTION

       XmActivateProtocol  activates  a  protocol.   It updates the handlers and the property if the shell is realized.  It is sometimes useful to
       allow a protocol's state information (callback lists, and so on) to persist, even though the client may choose to temporarily  resign  from
       the  interaction.  This is supported by allowing a protocol to be in one of two states:	active or inactive.  If the protocol is active and
       the shell is realized, the property contains the protocol Atom. If the protocol is inactive, the Atom is not present in the property.

       XmActivateWMProtocol is a convenience interface.  It calls XmActivateProtocol 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 proto-
       col Atom (or an int type cast to Atom).
