num_resources, args, num_args)
Widget w;
caddr_t base;
String name;
String class;
XtResourceList resources;
Cardinal num_resources;
ArgList args;
Cardinal num_args;
void XtGetApplicationResources(w, base, resources,
num_resources, args, num_args)

ARGUMENTS
args Specifies the argument list to override
resources obtained from the resource
database.
base Specifies the base address of the subpart
data structure where the resources should be
written.
class Specifies the class of the subpart.
name Specifies the name of the subpart.
num_args Specifies the number of arguments in the
argument list.
num_resources
Specifies the number of resources in the
resource list.
resources Specifies the resource list for the subpart.
w Specifies the widget that wants resources for
a subpart or that identifies the resource
database to search.
DESCRIPTION
- 1 -
XtGetSubresources(3Xt) XtGetSubresources(3Xt)
The XtGetSubresources function constructs a name/class
list from the application name/class, the name/classes
of all its ancestors, and the widget itself. Then, it
appends to this list the name/class pair passed in.
The resources are fetched from the argument list, the
resource database, or the default values in the
resource list. Then, they are copied into the subpart
record. If args is NULL, num_args must be zero.
However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not
referenced.
The XtGetApplicationResources function first uses the
passed widget, which is usually an application shell,
to construct a resource name and class list, Then, it
retrieves the resources from the argument list, the
resource database, or the resource list default values.
After adding base to each address,
XtGetApplicationResources copies the resources into the
address given in the resource list. If args is NULL,
num_args must be zero. However, if num_args is zero,
the argument list is not referenced. The portable way
to specify application resources is to declare them as
members of a structure and pass the address of the
structure as the base argument.
