XtSetSelectionTimeout() XtSetSelectionTimeout()
Name
XtSetSelectionTimeout - set the Intrinsics selection timeout value.
Synopsis
void XtSetSelectionTimeout(timeout)
unsigned long timeout;
Inputs
timeout Specifies the selection timeout in milliseconds.
Availability
XtSetSelectionTimeout() has been superseded by XtAppSetSelectionTimeout().
Description
XtSetSelectionTimeout() sets the Intrinsics selection timeout value. The selection timeout is the time within which two communicating
applications must respond to one another. The initial timeout value is set by the selectionTimeout application resource, which has a
default value of 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).
Usage
XtSetSelectionTimeout() has been superseded by XtAppSetSelectionTimeout(), which performs the same function on a per-application context
basis. XtSetSelectionTimeout() now calls XtAppSetSelectionTimeout() passing the default application context created by XtInitialize().
Very few programs need multiple application contexts, and you can continue to use XtSetSelectionTimeout() if you initialize your applica-
tion with XtInitialize(). We recommend, however, that you use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppSetSelectionTimeout(), and the other XtApp*() appli-
cation context specific functions.
See XtAppSetSelectionTimeout() for more information.
