NAME
DXmHelpOnContext - Enters the application into context sensitive help mode and either calls a help callback (if one exists) or searches for one in the widget's parent. SYNOPSIS
void DXmHelpOnContext( Widget widget, Boolean confine ); PARAMETERS
The identifier of the widget (widget ID) to pass to the XmTrackingLocate routine. A Boolean value passed to XmTrackingLocate. When True, confines the help cursor (?) to the widget specified in the widget parameter. DESCRIPTION
The DXmHelpOnContext routine enters context sensitive help mode, changing the cursor to the help cursor (?) and then waiting for an MB1 click on a widget. If the selected widget has a help callback, that help callback is called; otherwise, the widget's parent is checked for a help callback. Note that a Null callback structure pointer is passed to the help callback. Therefore, help callbacks in your application should test the value of this pointer before they attempt to use it. SEE ALSO

NAME
XmTrackingLocate - A Toolkit function that provides a modal interaction SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> Widget XmTrackingLocate (widget, cursor, confine_to) Widget widget; Cursor cursor; Boolean confine_to; DESCRIPTION
XmTrackingLocate provides a modal interface for selection of a component. It is intended to support context help. The function grabs the pointer and discards succeeding events until BSelect is released or a key is pressed and then released. The function then returns the wid- get or gadget that contains the pointer when BSelect is released or a key is released. This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases. It has been replaced by XmTrackingEvent. Specifies the widget ID of a widget to use as the basis of the modal interaction. That is, the widget within which the interaction must occur, usually a top level shell. Specifies the cursor to be used for the pointer during the interaction. This is a standard X cursor name. Specifies whether or not the cursor should be confined to widget RETURN VALUE
Returns the widget or gadget that contains the pointer when BSelect is released or a key is released. If no widget or gadget contains the pointer, the function returns NULL. SEE ALSO
