NAME
XkbChangeControls - Provides a flexible method for updating the controls in a server to match those in the changed keyboard description SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbChangeControls ( dpy, xkb, changes ) Display *dpy; XkbDescPtr xkb; XkbControlsChangesPtr changes; ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to X server - xkb keyboard description with changed xkb->ctrls - changes which parts of xkb->ctrls have changed DESCRIPTION
The XkbControlsChangesRec structure allows applications to track modifications to an XkbControlsRec structure and thereby reduce the amount of traffic sent to the server. The same XkbControlsChangesRec structure may be used in several successive modifications to the same XkbCon- trolsRec structure, then subsequently used to cause all of the changes, and only the changes, to be propagated to the server. The changed_ctrls field is a mask specifying which logical sets of data in the controls structure have been modified. In this context, mod- ified means set, that is, if a value is set to the same value it previously contained, it has still been modified, and is noted as changed. Valid values for changed_ctrls are any combination of the masks listed in Table 1 that have "ok" in the changed_ctrls column. Setting a bit implies the corresponding data fields from the "Relevant XkbControlsRec Data Fields" column in Table 1 have been modified. The enabled_ctrls_changes field specifies which bits in the enabled_ctrls field have changed. If the number of keyboard groups has changed, the num_groups_changed field is set to True. Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select controls for modification and to enable and disable the con- trol. Note that the same mask bit is used to specify general modifications to the parameters used to configure the control (which), and to enable and disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no "ok" in column) are for controls that have no configurable attributes; and for controls that are not boolean controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

XkbChangeControls copies any controls fields specified by changes from the keyboard description controls structure, xkb->ctrls, to the server specified by dpy. STRUCTURES
The XkbControlsChangesRec structure is defined as follows: typedef struct _XkbControlsChanges { unsigned int changed_ctrls; /* bits indicating changed control data */ unsigned int enabled_ctrls_changes; /* bits indicating enabled/disabled controls */ Bool num_groups_changed; /* True if number of keyboard groups changed */ } XkbControlsChangesRec,*XkbControlsChangesPtr; X Version 11 libX11 1.2.1 XkbChangeControls(3)
