XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)          SDK X11 R4.11MU05         XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)


NAME
       XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNTAX
       XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(w, intended, preferredreturn)
            Widget w;
            XtWidgetGeometry *intended, *preferredreturn;

ARGUMENTS
       intended  Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the
                 child's geometry or NULL.

       preferredreturn
                 Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

       w         Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
       To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any
       changes that it intends to make to the child's geometry in the
       corresponding fields of the intended structure, sets the
       corresponding bits in intended.request_mode, and calls
       XtQueryGeometry.

       XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode
       and checks the query_geometry field of the specified widget's class
       record.  If query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the
       query_geometry procedure and passes as arguments the specified
       widget, intended, and preferred_return structures.  If the intended
       argument is NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an
       XtWidgetGeometry structure with request_mode=0 before calling
       query_geometry.
