XtSetSelect(3x) — HP-UX ANSI C A.09.00

NAME

XtSetSelectionTimeout − set the Intrinsics selection timeout value.

Synopsis

void XtSetSelectionTimeout(timeout)

unsigned long timeout;

Inputs

timeoutSpecifies the selection timeout in milliseconds.

Availability

XtSetSelectionTimeout() has been superseded by XtAppSetSelectionTimeout().

Description

XtSetSelectionTimeout() sets the Intrinsics selection timeout value. The selection timeout is the time within which two communicating applications must respond to one another. The initial timeout value is set by the selectionTimeout application resource, which has a default value of 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

Usage

XtSetSelectionTimeout() has been superseded by XtAppSetSelectionTimeout(), which performs the same function on a per-application context basis. XtSetSelectionTimeout() now calls XtAppSetSelectionTimeout() passing the default application context created by XtInitialize(). Very few programs need multiple application contexts, and you can continue to use XtSetSelectionTimeout() if you initialize your application with XtInitialize(). We recommend, however, that you use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppSetSelectionTimeout(), and the other XtApp*() application context specific functions. See XtAppSetSelectionTimeout() for more information.
