X Version 11 (1 September 1988) XtQueryGeometry(Xt)
NAME
XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child
widget
SYNTAX
XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(w, intended,
preferred_return)
Widget w;
XtWidgetGeometry *intended, *preferred_return;
ARGUMENTS
intended Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to
the child's geometry or NULL.
preferred_return
Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.
w Specifies the widget.
DESCRIPTION
To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent
sets any changes that it intends to make to the child's
geometry in the corresponding fields of the intended
structure, sets the corresponding bits in
intended.request_mode, and calls XtQueryGeometry.
XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return-
>request_mode and checks the query_geometry field of the
specified widget's class record. If query_geometry is not
NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the query_geometry procedure and
passes as arguments the specified widget, intended, and
preferred_return structures. If the intended argument is
NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an
XtWidgetGeometry structure with request_mode=0 before
calling query_geometry.
