MrmFetchSetValues(3X) SDK X11 R4.11MU05 MrmFetchSetValues(3X)
NAME
MrmFetchSetValues--Fetches the values to be set from literals stored
in UID files
SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmFetchSetValues(hierarchyid, widget, args, numargs)
MrmHierarchyhierarchyid;
Widget widget;
ArgList args;
Cardinal numargs;
DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchSetValues function is similar to XtSetValues, except that
the values to be set are defined by the UIL named values that are
stored in the UID hierarchy. MrmFetchSetValues fetches the values to
be set from literals stored in UID files.
hierarchyid
Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the
specified literal. The hierarchyid was returned in a
previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.
widget Specifies the widget that is modified.
args Specifies an argument list that identifies the widget
arguments to be modified as well as the index (UIL name)
of the literal that defines the value for that argument.
The name part of each argument (args[n].name) must begin
with the string XmN followed by the name that uniquely
identifies this attribute tag. For example, XmNwidth is
the attribute name associated with the core argument
width. The value part (args[n].value) must be a string
that gives the index (UIL name) of the literal. You
must define all literals in UIL as exported values.
numargs Specifies the number of entries in args.
This function sets the values on a widget, evaluating the values as
public literal resource references resolvable from a UID hierarchy.
Each literal is fetched from the hierarchy, and its value is modified
and converted as required. This value is then placed in the argument
list and used as the actual value for an XtSetValues call.
MrmFetchSetValues allows a widget to be modified after creation using
UID file values exactly as is done for creation values in
MrmFetchWidget.
As in MrmFetchWidget, each argument whose value can be evaluated from
the UID hierarchy is set in the widget. Values that are not found or
values in which conversion errors occur are not modified.
Each entry in the argument list identifies an argument to be modified
in the widget. The name part identifies the tag, which begins with
XmN. The value part must be a string whose value is the index of the
literal. Thus, the following code would modify the label resource of
the widget to have the value of the literal accessed by the index
OK_button_label in the hierarchy:
args[n].name = XmNlabel;
args[n].value = "OKbuttonlabel";
RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants:
MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully.
MrmPARTIALSUCCESS
At least one literal was successfully fetched.
MrmBADHIERARCHY
The hierarchy ID was invalid.
MrmFAILURE The function failed.
