SYNTAX
void XtGetSelectionValue(w, selection, target, callback, client_data,
time)
Widget w;
Atom selection;
Atom target;
XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
XtPointer client_data;
Time time;
void XtGetSelectionValues(w, selection, targets, count, callback,
client_data, time)
Widget w;
Atom selection;
Atom *targets;
int count;
XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
XtPointer client_data;
Time time;
ARGUMENTS
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.
DESCRIPTION
The function requests the value of the selection that has been con‐
verted to the target type. The specified callback will be called some
time after is called; in fact, it may be called before or after
returns.
The function is similar to except that it takes a list of target types
and a list of client data and obtains the current value of the selec‐
tion converted to each of the targets. The effect is as if each target
were specified in a separate call to The callback is called once with
the corresponding client data for each target. 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 repeatedly.
