XtGetSelectionValues() XtGetSelectionValues()
Name
XtGetSelectionValues - obtain selection data in multiple formats.
Synopsis
void XtGetSelectionValues(w, selection, targets, count, callback,
client_data, time)
Widget w;
Atom selection;
Atom *targets;
int count;
XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
XtPointer *client_data;
Time time;
Inputs
w Specifies the widget that is making the request. Must be of class core or any subclass thereof.
selection Specifies the particular selection desired (usually XA_PRIMARY or XA_SECONDARY).
targets Specifies the types of information about the selection that are being requested.
count Specifies the length of the targets and client_data arrays.
callback Specifies the callback procedure to be called with each selection value obtained. Note that this is how the selection values are
communicated back to the client.
client_data
Specifies an array of client data (one for each target type) each element of which will be passed to callback when it is called
for the corresponding element of targets.
time Specifies the timestamp that indicates when the selection value is desired. This should be the timestamp of the event that trig-
gered this request; the value CurrentTime is not acceptable.
Description
XtGetSelectionValues() is similar to XtGetSelectionValue() except that it takes an array of target types and an array of client data and
requests the current value of the selection converted to each of the targets. The callback is called once for each element of targets, and
is passed the corresponding element of client_data. The effect is as if each target were specified in a separate call to XtGetSelectionVa-
lue(), except that XtGetSelectionValues() guarantees that all the conversions will use the same selection value because the ownership of
the selection cannot change in the middle of the list, as could happen when calling XtGetSelectionValue() repeatedly.
See XtGetSelectionValue() for more information.
