XtSetSelectionParameters(3XXT FUNCTIXtSetSelectionParameters(3Xt)

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 initiate a selection request with a
       target and these parameters, a subsequent call to XtGetSe-
       lectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental specify-
       ing the same requestor widget and selection atomm will
       generate a ConvertSelection request referring referring to
       the property containing the parameters. If XtSetSelection-
       Parameters 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 subse-
       quent 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

       XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with corresponding individ-
       ual calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these
       all within XtCreateSelectionRequest and
       XtSendSelectionRequest.	XtGetSelectionValues and XtGetSe-
       lectionValuesIncremental cannot be used	to make selection
       requests with parameterized targets.
