XtSetSelectionParameters(3XXT FUNCTIXtSetSelectionParameters(3Xt)
XtSetSelectionParameters - specify target parameters for a
selection request with a single target
void XtSetSelectionParameters(Widget requestor, Atom selec-
tion, Atom type, XtPointer value, unsigned long length,
int format);
requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be
of class 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 ele-
ments of value.
The specified parameters will be copied and stored in a new
property of the specified type and format on the requestor's
window. To initiate 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 Con-
vertSelection request referring referring to the property
containing 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, pre-
cede individual calls to XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSelec-
tionValueIncremental with corresponding individual calls to
XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these all within
XtCreateSelectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRequest. XtGet-
SelectionValues and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental cannot
be used to make selection requests with parameterized
