 MrmRegisterNames(Xm)           6 January 1993           MrmRegisterNames(Xm)


 Name

    MrmRegisterNames - registers the values associated with the names
    referenced in UIL (for example, UIL callback function names or UIL
    identifier names)

 Syntax


    #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>

    Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(register_list, register_count)
    MrmRegisterArglist register_list;
    MrmCount register_count;


 Description

    The MrmRegisterNames function registers a vector of names and associated
    values for access in MRM.  The values can be callback functions, pointers
    to user-defined data, or any other values.  The information provided is
    used to resolve symbolic references occurring in UID files to their run-
    time values.  For callbacks, this information provides the procedure
    address required by the Motif Toolkit.  For names used as identifiers in
    UIL, this information provides any run-time mapping the application
    needs.

    This function is similar to MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy, except that the
    scope of the names registered by MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited
    to the hierarchy specified in the call to that function, whereas the
    names registered by MrmRegisterNames have global scope.  When MRM looks
    up a name, it first tries to find the name among those registered for the
    given hierarchy.  If that lookup fails, it tries to find the name among
    those registered globally.

    registerlist
            Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names to be
            registered.  Each name is a case-sensitive, NULL-terminated ASCII
            string.  Each value is a 32-bit quantity, interpreted as a pro-
            cedure address if the name is a callback function, and uninter-
            preted otherwise.

    registercount
            Specifies the number of entries in registerlist.

    The names in the list are case-sensitive.  The list can be either ordered
    or unordered.

    Callback functions registered through MrmRegisterNames can be either reg-
    ular or creation callbacks.  Regular callbacks have declarations deter-
    mined by Motif Toolkit and user requirements.  Creation callbacks have
    the same format as any other callback:

       void CallBackProc(widget_id, tag, callback_data)
       Widget  *widget_id;
       Opaque  tag
       XmAnyCallbackStruct *callback_data;


    widgetid
            Specifies the widget ID associated with the widget performing the
            callback (as in any callback function).

    tag     Specifies the tag value (as in any callback function).

    callbackdata
            Specifies a widget-specific data structure.  This data structure
            has a minimum of two members: event and reason.  The reason
            member is always set to MrmCRCREATE.

    Note that the widget name and parent are available from the widget record
    accessible through widgetid.

 Return value

    This function returns one of these status return constants:

    MrmSUCCESS
            The function executed successfully.

    MrmFAILURE
            The function failed.
