NAME
MrmFetchSetValues - Fetches the values to be set from literals stored in UID files SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h> Cardinal MrmFetchSetValues(hierarchy_id, widget, args, num_args) MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id; Widget widget; ArgList args; Cardinal num_args; DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchSetValues function is similar to XtSetValues, except that the values to be set are defined by the UIL named values that are stored in the UID hierarchy. MrmFetchSetValues fetches the values to be set from literals stored in UID files. Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the specified literal. The hierarchy_id was returned in a previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay. Specifies the widget that is modified. Specifies an argument list that identifies the widget arguments to be modified as well as the index (UIL name) of the literal that defines the value for that argument. The name part of each argument (args[n].name) must begin with the string XmN followed by the name that uniquely identifies this attribute tag. For example, XmNwidth is the attribute name associated with the core argument width. The value part (args[n].value) must be a string that gives the index (UIL name) of the literal. You must define all liter- als in UIL as exported values. Specifies the number of entries in args. This function sets the values on a widget, evaluating the values as public literal resource references resolvable from a UID hierarchy. Each literal is fetched from the hierarchy, and its value is modified and converted as required. This value is then placed in the argument list and used as the actual value for an XtSetValues call. MrmFetchSetValues allows a widget to be modified after creation using UID file values exactly as is done for creation values in MrmFetchWidget. As in MrmFetchWidget, each argument whose value can be evaluated from the UID hierarchy is set in the widget. Values that are not found or values in which conversion errors occur are not modified. Each entry in the argument list identifies an argument to be modified in the widget. The name part identifies the tag, which begins with XmN. The value part must be a string whose value is the index of the literal. Thus, the following code would modify the label resource of the widget to have the value of the literal accessed by the index OK_button_label in the hierarchy: args[n].name = XmNlabel; args[n].value = "OK_button_label"; RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants: The function executed successfully. At least one literal was successfully fetched. The hierarchy ID was invalid. The function failed. SEE ALSO

NAME
MrmFetchWidget -- Fetches and creates an indexed (UIL named) application widget and its children SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h> Cardinal MrmFetchWidget( MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id, String index, Widget parent_widget, Widget *widget, MrmType *class); DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchWidget function fetches and creates an indexed application widget and its children. The indexed application widget is any wid- get that is named in UIL. In fetch operations, the fetched widget's subtree is also fetched and created. This widget must not appear as the child of a widget within its own subtree. MrmFetchWidget does not execute XtManageChild for the newly created widget. All widgets fetched by a call to MrmFetchWidget are not managed at the time of their creation callbacks. hierarchy_id Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the interface definition. The value of hierarchy_id was returned in a previ- ous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay. index Specifies the UIL name of the widget to fetch. parent_widget Specifies the parent widget ID. widget Returns the widget ID of the created widget. class This argument must be set to an actual pointer; it cannot be a NULL pointer. MrmFetchWidget sets this argument to an implementa- tion dependent value. An application can fetch any named widget in the UID hierarchy using MrmFetchWidget. MrmFetchWidget can be called at any time to fetch a widget that was not fetched at application startup. MrmFetchWidget can be used to defer fetching pop-up widgets until they are first ref- erenced (presumably in a callback), and then used to fetch them once. MrmFetchWidget can also create multiple instances of a widget (and its subtree). In this case, the UID definition functions as a template; a widget definition can be fetched any number of times. An application can use this template to make multiple instances of a widget, for example, in a dialog box box or menu. The index (UIL name) that identifies the widget must be known to the application. 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 widget was not found in UID hierarchy. MrmFAILURE The function failed. RELATED
