NAME

       XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder - A Drag and Drop function that reorders a stack of widgets that are registered drop sites

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/DragDrop.h>

       void XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder (widget, sibling, stack_mode)
	       Widget widget;
	       Widget sibling;
	       Cardinal stack_mode;

DESCRIPTION

       XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder  changes  the stacking order of the drop site specified by widget.  The stacking order controls the manner
       in which drag-under effects are clipped by overlapping siblings, regardless of whether they are active.	The stack mode is relative  either
       to the entire stack, or to another drop site within the stack.  The stack order can be modified only if the drop sites are siblings in both
       the widget and drop site hierarchy, and the widget parent of the drop sites is registered as a composite drop  site.   Specifies  the  drop
       site to be restacked.  Specifies a sibling drop site for stacking operations.  If specified, then widget is restacked relative to this drop
       site's stack position.  Specifies the new stack position for the specified widget.  The values are XmABOVE and XmBELOW.	If  a  sibling	is
       specified, then widget is restacked as follows: The widget is placed just above the sibling.  The widget is placed just below the sibling.

	      If  the  sibling parameter is not specified, then widget is restacked as follows: The widget is placed at the top of the stack.  The
	      widget is placed at the bottom of the stack.
