MrmRegisterNames(3X) UNIX System V MrmRegisterNames(3X)
NAME
MrmRegisterNames - Registers the values associated with the
names referenced in UIL (for example, UIL callback function
names or UIL identifier names)
SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(register_list, register_count)
MrmRegisterArglist register_list;
MrmCount register_count;
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
DESCRIPTION
The MrmRegisterNames 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 MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy,
except that the scope of the names registered by
MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited to the hierarchy
specified in the call to that function, 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.
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 MrmRegisterNames 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.
