Name
XtSetSelectionTimeout — set value of selection timeout.
Synopsis
void XtSetSelectionTimeout(timeout)
unsigned long timeout;
Arguments
timeoutSpecifies the selection timeout in milliseconds.
Description
XtSetSelectionTimeout has been superseded by XtAppSetSelectionTimeout. timeout is the time within which the two communicating applications must respond to one another. If one of them does not respond within this interval, Xt aborts the selection request. The default value of timeout is 5000 milliseconds (five seconds).
Chapter 10, Interclient Communications, in Volume Four, X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual, presents a complete example widget that both sends and receives data using selections. Note, however, that XtSetSelectionTimeout is normally called by an application, not by a widget.
