NAME
MrmRegisterNames - Registers the values associated with the names
referenced in UIL (for example, UIL callback function names or UIL
identifier names).
SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(register_list, register_count)
MrmRegisterArglist register_list;
MrmCount register_count;
DESCRIPTION
The MrmRegisterNames function registers a vector of names and associated
values for access in MRM. The values can be callback functions, pointers
to user-defined data, or any other values. The information provided is
used to resolve symbolic references occurring in UID files to their run-
time values. For callbacks, this information provides the procedure
address required by the Motif Toolkit. For names used as identifiers in
UIL, this information provides any run-time mapping the application
needs.
This function is similar to MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy, except that the
scope of the names registered by MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited
to the hierarchy specified in the call to that function, whereas the
names registered by MrmRegisterNames have global scope. When MRM looks
up a name, it first tries to find the name among those registered for the
given hierarchy. If that lookup fails, it tries to find the name among
those registered globally.
register_list
Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names to be
registered. Each name is a case-sensitive, NULL-terminated
ASCII string. Each value is a 32-bit quantity, interpreted
as a procedure address if the name is a callback function,
and uninterpreted otherwise.
register_count
Specifies the number of entries in register_list.
The names in the list are case-sensitive. The list can be either ordered
or unordered.
Callback functions registered through MrmRegisterNames can be either
regular or creation callbacks. Regular callbacks have declarations
determined by Motif Toolkit and user requirements. Creation callbacks
have the same format as any other callback:
void CallBackProc(widget_id, tag, callback_data)
Widget *widget_id;
Opaque tag;
XmAnyCallbackStruct *callback_data;

widget_id Specifies the widget ID associated with the widget
performing the callback (as in any callback function).
tag Specifies the tag value (as in any callback function).
callback_data Specifies a widget-specific data structure. This data
structure has a minimum of two members: event and reason.
The reason member is always set to MrmCR_CREATE.
Note that the widget name and parent are available from the widget record
accessible through widget_id.
RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants:
MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully.
MrmFAILURE The function failed.
