XmeStandardConvert(3X) UNIX System V XmeStandardConvert(3X)
NAME
XmeStandardConvert - A toolkit function that converts
selections to standard targets
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/TransferP.h>
void XmeStandardConvert(
Widget widget,
XtPointer ignore,
XmConvertCallbackStruct *calldata);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
XmeStandardConvert converts a selection to one of a set of
standard targets. This function can be called only from an
XmNconvertCallbackprocedure or from a convertProc trait
method.
The target to which this routine tries to convert the
selection is the target member of the
XmConvertCallbackStruct passed in the call_data argument.
If XmeStandardConvert converts the selection to that target,
it fills in the value, type, format, and lengthmembers of
the XmConvertCallbackStruct. Otherwise, it does not alter
the callback struct.
Note that XmeStandardConvert does not alter the statusmember
of the XmConvertCallbackStruct. The routine that calls
XmeStandardConvert is responsible for looking at the value
parameter and determining whether or not the conversion
succeeded. If the value parameter contains NULL, then the
conversion did not succeed.
Following are the targets to which XmeStandardConvert
converts selections:
BACKGROUND
The routine sets the value member of the
XmConvertCallbackStructto the value of widget
widget's XmNbackground resource. The routine sets
the format member to 32, the length member to 1,
and the type member to PIXEL.
CLASS The routine finds the first shell in the widget
widget's hierarchy that has a WMCLASS property.
The properties of this shell determine the value,
format, length, and type members of the
XmConvertCallbackStruct.
CLIENT_WINDOW

XmeStandardConvert(3X) UNIX System V XmeStandardConvert(3X)
The routine finds the first shell in the widget
widget's hierarchy. The routine sets the value
member of the XmConvertCallbackStruct to the
widget ID of this shell. This routine sets the
format member to 32, the length member to 1, and
the Vype member to WINDOW.
COLORMAP The routine sets the value member of the
XmConvertCallbackStructto the value of widget
widget's XmNcolormap resource (or to the value of
the XmNcolormap resource of widget widget's
parent, if widget is a gadget). This routine sets
the format member to 32, the length member to 1,
and the type member to COLORMAP.
FOREGROUND
The routine sets the value member of the
XmConvertCallbackStructto the value of widget
widget's XmNforeground resource. The routine sets
the format member to 32, the length member to 1,
and the type member to PIXEL.
NAME The routine finds the first shell in widget
widget's hierarchy that has a WMNAME property.
The properties of this shell determine the Vvalue.
This routine sets the format member to 8, the
length member to the number of characters in
value, and the type member to the current locale.
TARGETS The routine sets the value member of the
XmConvertCallbackStructto the list of targets
returned by XmeStandardTargets. This routine sets
the format member to 32, the length member to the
number of targets in the list, and the type member
to ATOM.
MOTIFRENDERTABLE
The routine sets the value member of the
XmConvertCallbackStructto the value of the widget
widget's XmNrenderTableresource if it exists, or
else the default text render table. More
precisely, the value member will hold a string of
characters representing the render table. This
routine sets the format member to 8, the length
member to the number of characters in the
valuemember, and the type member to STRING.
MOTIFENCODINGREGISTRY
The routine transfers the widget's encoding
registry. The routine sets the value member of
the XmConvertCallbackStruct to a list of NULL-
separated items in the form of tag encoding pairs.

This target symbolizes the transfer target for the
Motif Segment Encoding Registry. Widgets and
applications can use this Registry to register
text encoding formats for specified render table
tags. Applications access this Registry by
calling XmRegisterSegmentEncoding and
XmMapSegmentEncoding. This routine sets the
format member to 8, the length member to the
number of characters in the valuemember, and the
type member to STRING.
Following are the arguments to this function:
widget Specifies the reference widget for the conversion.
ignore This argument is ignored. Its value should always
be NULL.
call_data Specifies a pointer to the XmConvertCallbackStruct
to be modified. XmeStandardConvert modifies the
following members of the structure only. (For
details on XmConvertCallbackStruct, see
XmPrimitive(3) in the Motif Programmer's
Reference.)
value An XtPointer parameter that contains any
data that XmeStandardConvert produces as
a result of the conversion.
XmeStandardConvert sets valueto NULL if
it cannot convert the target.
type An Atom parameter that indicates the
type of the data in the value member.
format An int parameter that specifies whether
the data in valueshould be viewed as a
list of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit
quantities.
length An unsigned long parameter that
specifies the number of elements of data
in value, where each element has the
number of bits specified by format.
