xtstringconversionwarning(3) [hpux man page]

XtStringConversionWarning()											       XtStringConversionWarning()

Name
  XtStringConversionWarning - emit boilerplate string conversion error message.

Synopsis
  void XtStringConversionWarning(src, dst_type)
	  String src, dst_type;

Inputs
  src	    Specifies the string that could not be converted.

  dst_type  Specifies the name of the type to which the string could not be converted.

Description
  XtStringConversionWarning() is a convenience routine for use in old-style resource converters that convert from strings.  It issues a warn-
  ing message with the name conversionError, type string, class XtToolkitError, and default message string:

     "Cannot convert src to type dst_type"

  It can be used by a conversion routine to announce a nonfatal conversion error.

Usage
  New-style resource converters should call XtDisplayStringConversionWarning() instead of XtStringConversionWarning() to display  their  con-
  version  warning messages.  These functions display similar messages and differ only in that XtDisplayStringConversionWarning() is passed a
  display pointer as its first argument.

  Old-style converters are not passed a display pointer, and so must use the old function XtStringConversionWarning() which does not  require
  one.

NAME
XtConvert, XtDirectConvert - invoke resource converters SYNTAX
void XtConvert(Widget w, String from_type, XrmValuePtr from, String to_type, XrmValuePtr to_return); void XtDirectConvert(XtConverter converter, XrmValuePtr args, Cardinal num_args, XrmValuePtr from, XrmValuePtr to_return); ARGUMENTS
args Specifies the argument list that contains the additional arguments needed to perform the conversion (often NULL). converter Specifies the conversion procedure that is to be called. from Specifies the value to be converted. from_type Specifies the source type. num_args Specifies the number of additional arguments (often zero). to_type Specifies the destination type. to_return Returns the converted value. w Specifies the widget to use for additional arguments (if any are needed). DESCRIPTION
The XtConvert function looks up the type converter registered to convert from_type to to_type, computes any additional arguments needed, and then calls XtDirectConvert. XtConvert has been replaced by XtConvertAndStore. The XtDirectConvert function looks in the converter cache to see if this conversion procedure has been called with the specified arguments. If so, it returns a descriptor for information stored in the cache; otherwise, it calls the converter and enters the result in the cache. Before calling the specified converter, XtDirectConvert sets the return value size to zero and the return value address to NULL. To deter- mine if the conversion was successful, the client should check to_return.address for non-NULL. XtDirectConvert has been replaced by XtCallConverter. SEE ALSO
