XtGetSelectionRequest()				       XtGetSelectionRequest()

Name
  XtGetSelectionRequest	 - retrieve the SelectionRequest event that trig‐
  gered a XtConvertSelectionProc.

Synopsis
  XSelectionRequestEvent *XtGetSelectionRequest(w, selection, request_id)
	   Widget w;
	   Atom selection;
	   XtRequestId request_id;

Inputs
  w	    Specifies the widget which currently owns this selection.

  selection Specifies the selection being processed.

  request_id
	    Specifies the requestor ID in the case of incremental  selec‐
	    tions, or NULL in the case of atomic transfers.

Returns
  A pointer to a SelectionRequest event structure.

Availability
  Release 4 and later.

Description
  XtGetSelectionRequest()  may only be called from within an XtConvertSe‐
  lectionProc and returns a pointer to the SelectionRequest  event  which
  caused  the  procedure to be invoked.	 request_id specifies a unique ID
  for the individual request in the case that multiple incremental trans‐
  fers	are outstanding.  For atomic transfers, request_id must be speci‐
  fied as NULL.	 If no SelectionRequest event is being processed for  the
  specified  widget,  selection	 and  ID, XtGetSelectionRequest() returns
  NULL.

Usage
  An XtConvertSelectionProc is not passed the event  that  triggered  it,
  but  it  needs  the timestamp of this event in order to comply with the
  ICCCM.  XtGetSelectionRequest() was added in Release 4 as a work-around
  to this problem.
