NAME

XtGetSelectionTimeout − get the current Intrinsics selection timeout value. 

SYNOPSIS

unsigned long XtGetSelectionTimeout()

Inputs

none

Returns

The selection timeout value. 

AVAILABILITY

XtGetSelectionTimeout() has been superseded by XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(). 

DESCRIPTION

XtGetSelectionTimeout() returns the current selection timeout value, in milliseconds.  The selection timeout is the time within which the two communicating applications must respond to one another.  The initial timeout value is set by the selectionTimeout application resource, which defaults to 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds). 

USAGE

XtGetSelectionTimeout() has been superseded by XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(), which performs the same function on a per-application context basis.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

See XtAppGetSelectionTimeout() for more information.
