Set_Iconified(4) Desktop Services Message Sets Set_Iconified(4)NAMESet_Iconified - set a tool's iconic state
SYNOPSIS
Set_Iconified(out boolean iconic
[in messageID commission]);
DESCRIPTION
The Set_Iconified request sets the iconic state of the optionally spec‐
ified window, or of the window primarily associated with the handling
procid (if no window is specified).
The iconic argument is a Boolean value indicating whether the specified
window is (to be) iconified.
The commission argument is the ID of the ongoing request, if any, that
resulted in the creation of the window(s) in question.
APPLICATION USAGE
The ttdt_session_join(3), and ttdt_message_accept(3), functions can be
used by Xt applications to register for, and transparently process, the
Set_Iconified request.
If the handler does not map window-system windows one-to-one to commis‐
sions or procids, then it may interpret ``iconic state'' liberally.
For example, consider a Display request on an ISO_Latin_1 file, handled
by a gnuemacs instance that then devotes an emacs ``window'' to the
file. ``Windows'' in gnuemacs are not separate X11 windows, and are
not separately iconifiable. However, a Set_Iconified request issued
with respect to the ongoing Display request could be liberally inter‐
preted by gnuemacs to mean it should minimize the screen real estate
devoted to the operation, perhaps by ``burying'' the buffer or dividing
its window's real estate among neighboring windows. And, if the Dis‐
play request happens to be the only thing emacs is working on at the
moment, it could instead take a literal interpretation, and actually
iconify itself.
EXAMPLES
The Set_Iconified request can be sent as in the following example:
Tt_message msg = tttk_message_create(0, TT_REQUEST, TT_SESSION,
the_recipient_procid, TTDT_SET_ICONIFIED,
my_callback);
tt_message_iarg_add(msg, TT_IN, Tttk_boolean, 1);
tt_message_send(msg);
WARNINGSSet_Iconified can also be sent as a multicast notice, as an edict to
all tools in the scope of the message. The consequences of doing so
can be severe and unexpected.
