MrmFetchSetValues(3X) UNIX System V MrmFetchSetValues(3X)
NAME
MrmFetchSetValues - Fetches the values to be set from
literals stored in UID files
SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmFetchSetValues(hierarchy_id, widget, args, num_args)
MrmHierarchyhierarchy_id;
Widget widget;
ArgList args;
Cardinal num_args;
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchSetValues function is similar to XtSetValues,
except that the values to be set are defined by the UIL
named values that are stored in the UID hierarchy.
MrmFetchSetValues fetches the values to be set from literals
stored in UID files.
hierarchy_idSpecifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that
contains the specified literal. The hierarchy_id
was returned in a previous call to
MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.
widget Specifies the widget that is modified.
args Specifies an argument list that identifies the
widget arguments to be modified as well as the
index (UIL name) of the literal that defines the
value for that argument. The name part of each
argument (args[n].name) must begin with the
string XmN followed by the name that uniquely
identifies this attribute tag. For example,
XmNwidth is the attribute name associated with
the core argument width. The value part
(args[n].value) must be a string that gives the
index (UIL name) of the literal. You must
define all literals in UIL as exported values.
num_args Specifies the number of entries in args.

MrmFetchSetValues(3X) UNIX System V MrmFetchSetValues(3X)
This function sets the values on a widget, evaluating the
values as public literal resource references resolvable from
a UID hierarchy. Each literal is fetched from the
hierarchy, and its value is modified and converted as
required. This value is then placed in the argument list
and used as the actual value for an XtSetValues call.
MrmFetchSetValues allows a widget to be modified after
creation using UID file values exactly as is done for
creation values in MrmFetchWidget.
As in MrmFetchWidget, each argument whose value can be
evaluated from the UID hierarchy is set in the widget.
Values that are not found or values in which conversion
errors occur are not modified.
Each entry in the argument list identifies an argument to be
modified in the widget. The name part identifies the tag,
which begins with XmN. The value part must be a string
whose value is the index of the literal. Thus, the
following code would modify the label resource of the widget
to have the value of the literal accessed by the index
OK_button_label in the hierarchy:
args[n].name = XmNlabel;
args[n].value = "OK_button_label";
RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants:
MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully.
MrmPARTIALSUCCESS
At least one literal was successfully
fetched.
MrmBADHIERARCHY
The hierarchy ID was invalid.
MrmFAILURE The function failed.
