XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(3Xt)        BSD         XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(3Xt)



NAME
     XtAppGetSelectionTimeout, XtAppSetSelectionTimeout- set and obtain
     selection timeout values

SYNTAX
     unsigned long XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(app_context)
          XtAppContext app_context;

     void XtAppSetSelectionTimeout(app_context, timeout)
         XtAppContext app_context;
         unsigned long timeout;

ARGUMENTS
     app_context
               Specifies the application context.

     timeout   Specifies the selection timeout in milliseconds.

DESCRIPTION
     The XtAppGetSelectionTimeout function returns the current selection
     timeout value, in milliseconds.  The selection timeout is the time within
     which the two communicating applications must respond to one another.
     The initial timeout value is set by the selectionTimeout application
     resource, or, if selectionTimeout is not specified, it defaults to five
     seconds.

     The XtAppSetSelectionTimeout function sets the Intrinsics's selection
     timeout mechanism.  Note that most applications should not set the
     selection timeout.
