XtSendSelectionRequest(3X)	 XT FUNCTIONS	    XtSendSelectionRequest(3X)

NAME
       XtSendSelectionRequest - bundle multiple selection conversion requests
       into a single request using MULTIPLE target

SYNTAX
       void XtSendSelectionRequest(requestor, selection, time)
	     Widget requestor;

ARGUMENTS
       requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of class
		 Core or a subclass thereof.

       selection Specifies the particular selection desired.

       time	 Specifies the timestamp to be used in making the request.

DESCRIPTION
       When XtSendSelectionRequest is called with a value of requestor and
       selection matching a previous call to XtCreateSelectionRequest, a
       selection conversion request is actually sent to the selection owner.
       If a single target request is queued, that request is made. If multiple
       targets are queued they are bundled into a single request with the tar‐
       get MULTIPLE using the specified timestamp. As the conversions are
       made, the callbacks associated with each XtGetSelectionValue and XtGet‐
       SelectionValueIncremental are invoked in turn.

       Multi-threaded applications should lock the application context before
       calling XtCreateSelectionRequest and release the lock after calling
       XtSendSelectionRequest to ensure that the thread assembling the
       reqeuest is safe from interference by another thread assembling a dif‐
       ferent request naming the same widget and selection.
