NAME
DtWsmChangeBackdrop -- set current workspace's backdrop SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h> int DtWsmChangeBackdrop( Display *display, Window root, char *path, Pixmap pixmap); DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmChangeBackdrop function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and changes the current workspace's backdrop. Applications can use this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager. If the DtWsmChangeBackdrop function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running. DtWsmChangeBackdrop sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to change the backdrop. The path argument points to a backdrop file name. The file must be in either X Bitmap file format (with extension .bm) or Pixmap file for- mat (with extension .pm). The workspace management services look for the file along the same path used for searching icons. The directory /usr/dt/backdrops is the default directory if the file cannot be found along the icon search path. ARGUMENTS
display display root root window of the screen path file path to bitmap file pixmap pixmap ID of backdrop pixmap SEE ALSO

NAME
DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace -- set the current workspace SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h> int DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace( Widget widget, Atom aWorkspace); DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and sets the current workspace. Applications can use this function to switch from the current workspace to another workspace. The widget argument is a realized widget on the screen of interest. The aWorkspace argument is the name (in X atom form) of the workspace to be made current. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function returns Success; otherwise, it returns a value not equal to Success. APPLICATION USAGE
If the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running. The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function requires a widget. A gadget is not acceptable for the widget argument. DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to switch workspaces. If the workspace name is not valid, no action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error. SEE ALSO
