NAME
XmPrintSetup - setup and create a Print Shell widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Print.h>
Widget XmPrintSetup(
Widget video_widget,
Screen *print_screen,
String print_shell_name,
ArgList args,
Cardinal num_args);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
A function that does the appropriate setting and creates a
realized XmPrintShell that it returns to the caller. This
function hides the details of the Xt to set up a valid print
shell heirarchy for the application. It is also meant to
encourage consistency in the way applications root their
print widget hierarchy.
print_screen must belong to a Display connection that has
already been initialized with Xt.
The video_widgetis used to get at the application context,
application name and class, and argc/argv stored on the
applicationShell that roots this widget. If no
applicationShell is found, NULL argv/argc are used.
XmPrintSetup then creates an unrealized ApplicationShellwith
the same name and class as the one given by the video
display, on the print display and on the print screen
specified.
An XmPrintShellis then created as a child of this toplevel
shell, using XtCreatePopupShell, with the name
print_shell_name, and using the argsprovided. It then
realizes and maps the print shell, using XtPopup with
XtGrabNone.
This way, application resource files and users can specify
print specific attributes using the following syntax (if
print_shell_name is "Print"):
Dtpad.Print*textFontList: somefont
*Print*background:white
*Print*highlightThickness:0
video_widget
A video widget to fetch app video data from.

print_screen
A print screen on the print display - specifies
the screen onto which the new shell is created.
print_shell_name
Specifies the name of the XmPrintShell created on
the X Print server.
args Specifies the argument list from which to get the
resources for the XmPrintShell.
num_args Specifies the number of arguments in the argument
list.
RETURN VALUE
The id the XmPrintShell widget created on the X Print Server
connection, or NULL if an error has occured.
ERRORS/WARNINGS
None.
EXAMPLES
From the OK callback and the SetUp callback of the primary
print dialog widget:
static void
printOKCB(Widget, XtPointer call_data, XtPointer client_data)
{
AppPrint *p = (AppPrint *) client_data;
DtPrintSetupCallbackStruct *pbs =
(XmPrintCallbackStruct *) call_data;
/* connect if not already done.
the print dialog callback always provides valid
printer name, print display and screen
already initialized: XpInitContext called */
*/
p->print_shell = XmPrintSetup (widget, pbs->print_screen,
"Print", NULL, 0);
...
}
