XmeSecondaryTransfer(3X) UNIX System V XmeSecondaryTransfer(3X)
NAME
XmeSecondaryTransfer - A toolkit function that transfers
data from the secondary selection to the destination widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/TransferP.h>
void XmeSecondaryTransfer(
Widget widget,
Atom target,
XtEnum op,
Time time);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
XmeSecondaryTransfer transfers the data from the secondary
selection to the destination widget. A widget usually calls
this function from an action routine that ends a secondary
selection. The destination widget is the owner of the
_MOTIF_DESTINATIONselection.
If the destination widget has used XmeSecondarySink to take
ownership of that selection, XmeSecondaryTransfer
initializes an XmDestinationCallbackStruct as follows:
o Sets the selection member to SECONDARY
o Sets the operation member to XmLINKif the op argument
is XmLINK; sets the operation member to XmCOPYif the
op argument is XmCOPY or XmMOVE.
o Sets the destination_data member to the value of the
target argument
XmeSecondaryTransfer 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. XmeSecondaryTransfer passes
the initialized XmDestinationCallbackStruct as the
call_data argument to the trait method.
2. Calls the application's XmNdestinationCallback
procedures, if any.
3. Calls the destination widget's destinationProctrait
method, if any, after all transfers initiated by the
XmNdestinationCallbackprocedures have finished.
However, if an XmNdestinationCallback procedure has
called XmTransferDone with a status of
Page 1 (printed 7/20/06)
XmeSecondaryTransfer(3X) UNIX System V XmeSecondaryTransfer(3X)
XmTRANSFER_DONE_DEFAULT, then XmePrimarySink will not
call the destinationProctrait method.
It is the responsibility of the destination widget's
XmNdestinationCallback procedures and the
destinationProctrait method to transfer any data to the
widget.
If op is XmMOVE and the data is successfully transferred,
XmeSecondaryTransfer asks the owner of the
SECONDARYselection to convert that selection to the DELETE
target. In all cases, when the transfer operation is
complete, XmeSecondaryTransfer asks the owner of the
SECONDARYselection to convert that selection to the
_MOTIF_LOSE_SELECTIONtarget.
If the selection owner has called XmeSecondarySource to take
ownership of the selection, these conversion requests first
call the owner's XmNconvertCallback procedures, if any. If
no XmNconvertCallback procedures exist or if these
procedures return a status of XmCONVERT_DEFAULT or
XmCONVERT_MERGE, these requests then call the owner's
convertProc trait method; convertProc is a trait method of
the XmQTtransfer trait.
widget Specifies the widget that is the owner of the
secondary selection.
target Specifies a recommended target for the destination
widget to request when converting the secondary
selection.
op Specifies the transfer operation. Possible values
are XmMOVE, XmCOPY, and XmLINK.
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.
