XtSetSelectionParameters(3X)					   XT FUNCTIONS 				      XtSetSelectionParameters(3X)

NAME
       XtSetSelectionParameters - specify target parameters for a selection request with a single target

SYNTAX
       void XtSetSelectionParameters(requestor, selection, type, value, length, format)
	     Widget requestor;
	     Atom selection;
	     Atom type;
	     XtPointer value;
	     unsigned long length;
	     int format;

ARGUMENTS
       requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of clase Core or any subclass thereof.

       selection Specifies the atom that names the selection.

       type	 Specifies the type of the property in which the parameters will be passed.

       value	 Specifies a pointer to the parameters.

       length	 Specifies the number of elements containing data in value, each element of a sized indicated by format.

       format	 Specifies the size in bits of the data in the elements of value.

DESCRIPTION
       The specified parameters will be copied and stored in a new property of the specified type and format on the requestor's window. To initi-
       ate a selection request with a target and these parameters, a subsequent call to XtGetSelectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental
       specifying the same requestor widget and selection atomm will generate a ConvertSelection request referring referring to the property con-
       taining the parameters. If XtSetSelectionParameters is called more than once with the same widget and selection without a call to specify a
       request, the most recently specified parameters are used in the subsequent request.

       The possible values of format may be 8, 16, or 32. If the format is 8, the elements of value are assumed to be sizeof(char); if 16,
       sizeof(short); if 32, sizeof(long).

       To generate a MULTIPLE target request with parameters for any of the multiple targets of the selection request, precede individual calls to
       XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with corresponding individual calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these
       all within XtCreateSelectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRequest.	XtGetSelectionValues and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental cannot be used
       to make selection requests with parameterized targets.
