NAME
MrmFetchLiteral -- Fetches a literal from a UID file SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h> Cardinal MrmFetchLiteral( MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id, String index, Display *display, XtPointer *value, MrmCode *type); DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchLiteral function reads and returns the value and type of a literal (named value) that is stored as a public resource in a sin- gle UID file. This function returns a pointer to the value of the literal. For example, an integer is always returned as a pointer to an integer, and a string is always returned as a pointer to a string. Applications should not use MrmFetchLiteral for fetching icon or color literals. If this is attempted, MrmFetchLiteral returns an error. hierarchy_id Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the specified literal. The value of hierarchy_id was returned in a previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay. index Specifies the UIL name of the literal (pixmap) to fetch. You must define this name in UIL as an exported value. display Specifies the display used for the pixmap. The display argument specifies the connection to the X server. For more information on the Display structure, see the Xlib function XOpenDisplay. value Returns the ID of the named literal's value. The function allocates space for the returned value. The application is responsi- ble for managing the allocated space by calling the appropriate deallocation function. For example, if the returned ID symbolizes a pixmap, then the application can recover the allocated space by calling XmDestroyPixmap. type Returns the named literal's data type. Types are defined in the include file Mrm/MrmPublic.h. RETURN
This function returns one of the following status return constants: MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully. MrmBAD_HIERARCHY The hierarchy ID was invalid. MrmNOT_FOUND The literal was not found in the UIL file. MrmWRONG_TYPE The caller tried to fetch a literal of a type not supported by this function. MrmFAILURE The function failed. RELATED

NAME
MrmFetchIconLiteral -- Fetches an icon literal from a hierarchy SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h> Cardinal MrmFetchIconLiteral( MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id, String index, Screen *screen, Display *display, Pixel fgpix, Pixel bgpix, Pixmap *pixmap); DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchIconLiteral function fetches an icon literal from an MRM hierarchy and converts the icon literal to an X pixmap. hierarchy_id Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the specified icon literal. The hierarchy_id was returned in a previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay. index Specifies the UIL name of the icon literal to fetch. screen Specifies the screen used for the pixmap. The screen argument specifies a pointer to the Xlib structure Screen, which contains the information about that screen and is linked to the Display structure. For more information on the Display and Screen struc- tures, see the Xlib function XOpenDisplay and the associated screen information macros. display Specifies the display used for the pixmap. The display argument specifies the connection to the X server. For more information on the Display structure, see the Xlib function XOpenDisplay. fgpix Specifies the foreground color for the pixmap. bgpix Specifies the background color for the pixmap. pixmap Returns the resulting X pixmap value. The function allocates space for this pixmap. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XmDestroyPixmap. RETURN
This function returns one of the following status return constants: MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully. MrmBAD_HIERARCHY The hierarchy ID was invalid. MrmNOT_FOUND The icon literal was not found in the hierarchy. MrmWRONG_TYPE The caller tried to fetch a literal of a type not supported by this function. MrmFAILURE The function failed. RELATED
