XmePrimarySink(3X) UNIX System V XmePrimarySink(3X)
NAME
XmePrimarySink - A toolkit function that transfers data from
the primary selection to a widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/TransferP.h>
Boolean XmePrimarySink(
Widget widget,
XtEnum op,
XtPointer locationdata,
Time time);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
XmePrimarySink transfers data from the primary selection to
a widget.
XmePrimarySink initializes an XmDestinationCallbackStructas
follows:
⊕ Sets the selection member to PRIMARY
⊕ Sets the operation member to the value of the op
argument
⊕ Sets the location_data member to the value of the
location_data argument
⊕ Sets the time member to the value of the time argument
XmePrimarySink makes the following sequence of calls:
1. Calls the destination widget's
destinationPreHookProctrait method, if any.
destinationPreHookProcis one of the trait methods of
the XmQTtransfer trait. XmePrimarySink passes the
initialized XmDestinationCallbackStruct as the
call_data argument.
2. Calls any XmNdestinationCallback procedures that the
application has attached to the destination widget.
3. Calls the destination widget's destinationProctrait
method, if any, after all transfers initiated by
XmNdestinationCallbackprocedures have finished.
However, if an XmNdestinationCallback procedure has
called XmTransferDone with a status of
XmTRANSFERDONEDEFAULT, XmePrimarySink does not call
the destinationProctrait method.

It is the responsibility of the XmNdestinationCallback
procedures and the destinationProc trait method to transfer
any data to the destination widget.
If op is XmMOVE and the data is successfully transferred,
XmePrimarySink asks the owner of the PRIMARY selection to
convert that selection to the DELETE target. If the
selection owner has called XmePrimarySource to take
ownership of the selection, this conversion request first
calls the owner's XmNconvertCallback procedures, if any. If
no XmNconvertCallback procedures exist or if these
procedures return a status of XmCONVERTDEFAULT or
XmCONVERTMERGE, this request then calls the owner widget's
convertProctrait method.
widget Specifies the widget that is the destination for
the data.
op Specifies the transfer operation. Possible values
are XmCOPY, XmMOVE, and XmLINK.
location_data
Specifies information about the location where
data is to be transferred. If the value is NULL,
the data is to be inserted at the widget's cursor
position. Otherwise, the type and interpretation
of the value are specific to the widget class. If
location_data cannot fit inside an XtPointer,
location_data must either be a static variable or
be allocated. If location_data is allocated, a
call must be made to XmeTransferAddDoneProc to
establish a procedure to free the allocated
memory. The value of location_data is only valid
for the duration of a transfer. Once the transfer
done procedures start to be called, location_data
will no longer be stable.
time Specifies the time of the transfer. This is
usually the timestamp from the event passed to an
action routine. You should call
XtLastTimeStampProcessed to generate the
timevalue. If you set time to CurrentTime or 0,
UTM will automatically change the call to
XtLastTimeStampProcessed.
RETURN
This function returns False if no transfers take place.
Otherwise, it returns True.
