DESCRIPTION
This request is part of an HP-proprietary extension to X. Its
functionality has been superseded by the standard X input device
extension XChangeFeedbackControl request. You should use
XChangeFeedbackControl instead of XHPPrompt if possible.
This request sends a prompt to an input device.
A prompt is an audio or visual indication that the program controlling
the input device is ready for input. The program may indicate that
status by turning on a prompt on the appropriate input device.
Not all input devices support prompts and acknowledges. Any device
that does support a particular prompt will also support the
corresponding acknowledge.
To determine whether an input device supports a particular prompt and
acknowledge, the io_byte field of the XHPDeviceList structure should be
examined. The format of this structure is described in the
documentation for the XHPListInputDevices request.
RETURN VALUE
none
DIAGNOSTICS
