XtSendSelectionRequest(3X) XT FUNCTIONS XtSendSelectionRequest(3X)NAMEXtSendSelectionRequest - bundle multiple selection conversion requests
into a single request using MULTIPLE target
SYNTAX
void XtSendSelectionRequest(requestor, selection, time)
Widget requestor;
ARGUMENTS
requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of class
Core or a subclass thereof.
selection Specifies the particular selection desired.
time Specifies the timestamp to be used in making the request.
DESCRIPTION
When XtSendSelectionRequest is called with a value of requestor and
selection matching a previous call to XtCreateSelectionRequest, a
selection conversion request is actually sent to the selection owner.
If a single target request is queued, that request is made. If multiple
targets are queued they are bundled into a single request with the tar‐
get MULTIPLE using the specified timestamp. As the conversions are
made, the callbacks associated with each XtGetSelectionValue and XtGet‐
SelectionValueIncremental are invoked in turn.
Multi-threaded applications should lock the application context before
calling XtCreateSelectionRequest and release the lock after calling
XtSendSelectionRequest to ensure that the thread assembling the
reqeuest is safe from interference by another thread assembling a dif‐
ferent request naming the same widget and selection.
