XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt) XT FUNCTIONS XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)
XtGetSelectionValue, XtGetSelectionValues - obtain selection
values
void XtGetSelectionValue(Widget w, Atom selection, Atom tar-
get, XtSelectionCallbackProc callback, XtPointer
client_data, Time time);
void XtGetSelectionValues(Widget w, Atom selection, Atom
*targets, int count, XtSelectionCallbackProc callback,
XtPointer client_data, Time time);
callback Specifies the callback procedure that is to be
called when the selection value has been obtained.
client_data
Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the
specified procedure when it is called.
client_data
Specifies the client data (one for each target
type) that is passed to the callback procedure
when it is called for that target.
count Specifies the length of the targets and
client_data lists.
selection Specifies the particular selection desired (that
is, primary or secondary).
target Specifies the type of the information that is
needed about the selection.
targets Specifies the types of information that is needed
about the selection.
time Specifies the timestamp that indicates when the
selection value is desired.
w Specifies the widget that is making the request.
The XtGetSelectionValue function requests the value of the
selection that has been converted to the target type. The
specified callback will be called some time after XtGet-
SelectionValue is called; in fact, it may be called before
or after XtGetSelectionValue returns.
The XtGetSelectionValues function is similar to XtGet-
SelectionValue except that it takes a list of target types

and a list of client data and obtains the current value of
the selection converted to each of the targets. The effect
is as if each target were specified in a separate call to
XtGetSelectionValue. The callback is called once with the
corresponding client data for each target. XtGetSelection-
Values does guarantee that all the conversions will use the
same selection value because the ownership of the selection
cannot change in the middle of the list, as would be when
calling XtGetSelectionValue repeatedly.
