XSelectionEvent(3X)                           XSelectionEvent(3X)



NAME
     XSelectionEvent - structure for SelectionNotify events

DESCRIPTION
     XSectionNotifyEvent is a structure for
     SelectionNotify events.  This structure is defined  as  fol-
     lows.

     typedef struct {
       int type;     /* SelectionNotify */
       unsigned long serial;/* # of last request */
                     /* processed by server */
       Bool send_event;/* TRUE if this came */
                     /* from a SendEvent request */
       Display *display;/* Display the event */
                     /* was read from */
       Window requestor;
       Atom selection;
       Atom target;
       Atom property;/* atom or None */
       Time time;
     } XSelectionEvent;

     When this event is received, the structure members  are  set
     as follows.

     The type member is set to the event type constant name  that
     uniquely  identifies it.  For example, when the X server re-
     ports a GraphicsExpose event to  a  client  application,  it
     sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent structure with the type member
     set to GraphicsExpose.  The  display  member  is  set  to  a
     pointer   to  the  display  the  event  was  read  on.   The
     send_event member is set to TRUE if the event  came  from  a
     SendEvent  protocol  request.  The serial member is set from
     the serial number reported in the protocol but expanded from
     the  16-bit  least-significant  bits to a full 32-bit value.
     The window member is set to the window that is  most  useful
     to toolkit dispatchers.

     The requestor member is set to the  window  associated  with
     the requester of the selection.  The selection member is set
     to the atom that indicates the selection.  For example, PRI-
     MARY  is  used for the primary selection.  The target member
     is set to the atom that indicates the converted  type.   For
     example,  PIXMAP  is  used  for  a  pixel map.  The property
     member is set to the atom that indicates which property  the
     result was stored on.  If the conversion failed, the proper-
     ty member is set to None.  The time member  is  set  to  the
     time  the  conversion  took  place and can be a timestamp or
     CurrentTime.
