NAME

XtGetResourceList − get the resource list of a widget class. 

Synopsis

void XtGetResourceList(object_class, resources_return, num_resources_return);

    WidgetClass object_class;
    XtResourceList *resources_return;
    Cardinal *num_resources_return;

Inputs

object_class
Specifies the object class to be queried; may be objectClass or any subclass.

Outputs

resources_return
Returns the resource list.

num_resources_return
Returns the number of entries in the resource list.

Description

XtGetResourceList() returns the corePart resource list of the specified widget or object class.  If it is called before the widget class is initialized it returns the resource list as specified in the widget class record.  If it is called after the widget class has been initialized, it returns a merged resource list that includes the resources for all superclasses.  The list returned by XtGetResourceList() should be freed using XtFree() when it is no longer needed. 

Usage

Most applications will never need to query the a widget class for the resources it supports.  This function is intended to support interface builders and applications like editres which allow the use to view the available resources and set them interactively.  To get the constraint resources of a widget class, use XtGetConstraintResourceList(). 

Structures

XtResource is defined as follows:

typedef struct _XtResource {
   String    resource_name;  /* Resource name */
   String    resource_class; /* Resource class */
   String    resource_type;  /* Representation type desired */
   Cardinal  resource_size;  /* Size in bytes of representation */
   Cardinal  resource_offset;/* Offset from base to put resource value */
   String    default_type;   /* Representation type of specified default */
   XtPointer default_addr;   /* Address of resource default value */
} XtResource, *XtResourceList;
