 Name

    XmRepTypeAddReverse - a representation type manager function that
    installs the reverse converter for a previously registered representation
    type

 Syntax


    #include <Xm/RepType.h>

    void XmRepTypeAddReverse (rep_type_id)
    XmRepTypeId rep_type_id;


 Description

    XmRepTypeAddReverse installs the reverse converter for a previously
    registered representation type. The reverse converter takes a numerical
    representation type value and returns its corresponding string value.
    Certain applications may require this capability to obtain a string value
    to display on a screen or to build a resource file.

    The values argument of the XmRepTypeRegister function can be used to
    register representation types with nonconsecutive values or with dupli-
    cate names for the same value. If the list of numerical values for a
    representation type contains duplicate values, the reverse converter uses
    the first name in the valuenames list that matches the specified numeric
    value. For example, if a valuenames array has cancel, proceed, and
    abort, and the corresponding values array contains 0, 1, and 0, the
    reverse converter will return cancel instead of abort for an input value
    of 0.

    reptypeid
            Specifies the identification number of the representation type
