XmeReplyToQueryGeometry(3XUNIX System XmeReplyToQueryGeometry(3X)
NAME
XmeReplyToQueryGeometry - Handles standard geometry requests
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/XmP.h>
XtGeometryResult XmeReplyToQueryGeometry(
Widget widget,
XtWidgetGeometry *intended,
XtWidgetGeometry *desired);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
A querygeometry method can call XmeReplyToQueryGeometryin
order to handle certain kinds of geometry requests.
XmeReplyToQueryGeometry has an important limitation; it
returns an XtGeometryResult value based solely on width and
height values. That is, XmeReplyToQueryGeometry ignores
other characteristics of widget geometry, such as starting
position and border width. Therefore, if your
querygeometry method needs to analyze any of these other
characteristics, then you need to write your own code,
rather than relying on XmeReplyToQueryGeometry.
Your widget must determine its preferred size prior to
calling XmeReplyToQueryGeometry. To be more precise, you
need only determine the widget's preferred width and height.
The desired variable holds the widget's preferred
dimensions.
widget Specifies the current widget.
intended Specifies the geometry proposed by the parent of
widget.
desired Specifies the geometry preferred by widget.
RETURN
Returns XtGeometryYes if the intended geometry matches the
desired geometry, and if the parent of widget intends to use
these values. Otherwise, returns XtGeometryNo if the
desiredwidth and height match the widget's current width and
height. Otherwise, returns XtGeometryAlmost.
