 XmClipboardCancelCopy(Xm)      6 January 1993      XmClipboardCancelCopy(Xm)


 Name

    XmClipboardCancelCopy - a clipboard function that cancels a copy to the
    clipboard

 Syntax


    #include <Xm/Xm.h>
    #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>

    int XmClipboardCancelCopy (display, window, item_id)
    Display * display;
    Window window;
    long item_id;


 Description

    XmClipboardCancelCopy cancels the copy to clipboard that is in progress
    and frees up temporary storage.  When a copy is to be performed, XmClip-
    boardStartCopy allocates temporary storage for the clipboard data.
    XmClipboardCopy copies the appropriate data into the the temporary
    storage.  XmClipboardEndCopy copies the data to the clipboard structure
    and frees up the temporary storage structures.  If XmClipboardCancelCopy
    is called, the XmClipboardEndCopy function does not have to be called.  A
    call to XmClipboardCancelCopy is valid only after a call to XmClip-
    boardStartCopy and before a call to XmClipboardEndCopy.

    display Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in
            a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.

    window  Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the application win-
            dow to the clipboard.  The widget's window ID can be obtained by
            using XtWindow.  The same application instance should pass the
            same window ID to each of the clipboard functions that it calls.

    itemid Specifies the number assigned to this data item.  This number was
            returned by a previous call to XmClipboardStartCopy.

 Return value

    ClipboardSuccess
            The function is successful.

    ClipboardLocked
            The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another
            application.  The application can continue to call the function
            again with the same parameters until the lock goes away.  This
            gives the application the opportunity to ask if the user wants to
            keep trying or to give up on the operation.

    ClipboardFail
            The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy was not called
            or because the data item contains too many formats.
