LEARN ABOUT HPUX

xhpselectextensionevent

XHPSelectExtensionEvent(3X)											       XHPSelectExtensionEvent(3X)

NAME

       XHPSelectExtensionEvent - Select an extension event.

SYNOPSIS

       int XHPSelectExtensionEvent (display, window, deviceid, mask)
	    Display   *display;
	    Window    window;
	    XID       deviceid;
	    Mask      mask;

ARGUMENTS

       display	   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       window	   Specifies the window from which input is desired.

       deviceid    Specifies the device from which input is desired.

       mask	   Specifies the mask of input events that are desired.

DESCRIPTION

       These requests are part of an HP-proprietary extension to X.  Its functionality has been superseded by the standard X input device
       extension XSelectExtensionEvent request.  You should use XSelectExtensionEvent instead of XHPSelectExtensionEvent if possible.

       This request is provided to support the use of input devices other than the X keyboard and X pointer device.  It allows input from other
       input devices to be selected independently from that coming from the X pointer and keyboard.

       XHPSelectExtensionEvent requests the server to send an extended event that matches the specified event mask and comes from the specified
       device and window.  In order to use this request, the client program must first determine the appropriate deviceid by using the
       XHPListInputDevice request, and the appropriate event mask by using the XHPGetExtEventMask request.  Multiple event masks returned by
       XHPGetExtEventMask may be OR'd together and specified in a single request to XHPSelectExtensionEvent.

       This request cannot be used to select any of the core X events, or to receive input from the X Keyboard or X pointer device.  The core
       XSelectInput request should be used for that purpose.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadDevice   An invalid device ID was specified.

       BadWindow   An invalid window ID was specified.

RETURN VALUE

       none

FILES

       none
