XmClipboardCopyByName(Xm) 6 January 1993 XmClipboardCopyByName(Xm) Name XmClipboardCopyByName - a clipboard function that copies a data item passed by name Syntax #include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h> int XmClipboardCopyByName (display, window, data_id, buffer, length, private_id) Display * display; Window window; long data_id; XtPointer buffer; unsigned long length; long private_id; Description XmClipboardCopyByName copies the actual data for a data item that was previously passed by name to the clipboard. Data is considered to be passed by name when a call to XmClipboardCopy is made with a NULL buffer parameter. Additional calls to this function append new data to the existing data. 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 clipboard function it calls. dataid Specifies an identifying number assigned to the data item that uniquely identifies the data item and the format. This number was assigned by XmClipboardCopy to the data item. buffer Specifies the buffer from which the clipboard copies the data. length Specifies the number of bytes in the data item. privateid Specifies the private data that the application wants to store with the data item. 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.
