num_resources, args, num_args)
Widget w;
XtPointer base;
String name;
String class;
XtResourceList resources;
Cardinal num_resources;
ArgList args;
Cardinal num_args;
void XtGetApplicationResources(w, base, resources, num_resources,
args, num_args)
Widget w;
XtPointer base;
XtResourceList resources;
Cardinal num_resources;
ArgList args;
Cardinal num_args;
Arguments
args Specifies the argument list to override resources obtained from
the resource database.
base Specifies the base address of the subpart data structure where
the resources should be written.
class Specifies the class of the subpart.
name Specifies the name of the subpart.
numargs Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.
numresources
Specifies the number of resources in the resource list.
resources Specifies the resource list for the subpart.
w Specifies the widget that wants resources for a subpart or that
identifies the resource database to search.
Description
The XtGetSubresources function constructs a name or class list from the
application name or class, the names or classes of all its ancestors, and
the widget itself. Then, it appends to this list the name or class pair
passed in. The resources are fetched from the argument list, the
resource database, or the default values in the resource list. Then,
they are copied into the subpart record. If args is NULL, numargs must
be zero. However, if numargs is zero, the argument list is not refer-
enced.
The XtGetApplicationResources function first uses the passed widget,
which is usually an application shell, to construct a resource name and
class list, Then, it retrieves the resources from the argument list, the
resource database, or the resource list default values. After adding
base to each address, XtGetApplicationResources copies the resources into
the address given in the resource list. If args is NULL, numargs must
be zero. However, if numargs is zero, the argument list is not refer-
enced. The portable way to specify application resources is to declare
them as members of a structure and pass the address of the structure as
the base argument.
