MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchUNIX)SysMrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy(3X)
NAME
MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy - Registers the values
associated with the names referenced in UIL within a single
hierarchy (for example, UIL callback function names or UIL
identifier names)
SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy(hierarchy_id, register_list, register_count)
MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id;
MrmRegisterArglist register_list;
MrmCount register_count;
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
DESCRIPTION
The MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy 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 MrmRegisterNames, except that
the scope of the names registered by
MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited to the hierarchy
specified by hierarchy_id, 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.
hierarchy_id
Specifies the hierarchy with which the names are
to be associated.
register_list
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
procedure address if the name is a callback
function, and uninterpreted otherwise.

register_count
Specifies the number of entries in
register_list.
The names in the list are case-sensitive. The list can be
either ordered or unordered.
Callback functions registered through
MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy can be either regular or
creation callbacks. Regular callbacks have declarations
determined 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;
widget_id 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).
callback_data 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 widget_id.
RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants:
MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully.
MrmFAILURE The function failed.
