DESCRIPTION
XmTrackingLocate provides a modal interface for selection of
a component. It is intended to support context help. The
function grabs the pointer and discards succeeding events
until BSelect is released or a key is pressed and then
released. The function then returns the widget or gadget
that contains the pointer when BSelect is released or a key
is released.
This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with
previous releases. It has been replaced by XmTrackingEvent.
widget Specifies the widget ID of a widget to use as the
basis of the modal interaction. That is, the widget
within which the interaction must occur, usually a
top level shell.
cursor Specifies the cursor to be used for the pointer
during the interaction. This is a standard X cursor
name.
confine_to
Specifies whether or not the cursor should be
confined to widget
RETURN VALUE
Returns the widget or gadget that contains the pointer when
BSelect is released or a key is released. If no widget or
gadget contains the pointer, the function returns NULL.
