MrmFetchSetValues(3X)
OSF/Motif
NAME
  MrmFetchSetValues - Fetches the values to be set from literals stored in
  UID files

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>

  Cardinal MrmFetchSetValues(hierarchy_id, widget, args, num_args)
	  MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id;
	  Widget widget;
	  ArgList args;
	  Cardinal num_args;

DESCRIPTION
  The MrmFetchSetValues function is similar to XtSetValues, except that the
  values to be set are defined by the UIL named values that are stored in the
  UID hierarchy. MrmFetchSetValues fetches the values to be set from literals
  stored in UID files.

  hierarchy_id
      Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the specified
      literal. The hierarchy_id was returned in a previous call to
      MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.

  widget
      Specifies the widget that is modified.

  args
      Specifies an argument list that identifies the widget arguments to be
      modified as well as the index (UIL name) of the literal that defines
      the value for that argument. The name part of each argument
      (args[n].name) must begin with the string XmN followed by the name that
      uniquely identifies this attribute tag. For example, XmNwidth is the
      attribute name associated with the core argument width.  The value part
      (args[n].value) must be a string that gives the index (UIL name) of the
      literal. You must define all literals in UIL as exported values.

  num_args
      Specifies the number of entries in args.

  This function sets the values on a widget, evaluating the values as public
  literal resource references resolvable from a UID hierarchy. Each literal
  is fetched from the hierarchy, and its value is modified and converted as
  required. This value is then placed in the argument list and used as the
  actual value for an XtSetValues call. MrmFetchSetValues allows a widget to
  be modified after creation using UID file values exactly as is done for
  creation values in MrmFetchWidget.

  As in MrmFetchWidget, each argument whose value can be evaluated from the
  UID hierarchy is set in the widget. Values that are not found or values in
  which conversion errors occur are not modified.

  Each entry in the argument list identifies an argument to be modified in
  the widget. The name part identifies the tag, which begins with XmN. The
  value part must be a string whose value is the index of the literal. Thus,
  the following code would modify the label resource of the widget to have
  the value of the literal accessed by the index OK_button_label in the
  hierarchy:

       args[n].name = XmNlabel;
       args[n].value = "OK_button_label";

RETURN VALUE
  This function returns one of these status return constants:

  MrmSUCCESS
      The function executed successfully.

  MrmPARTIAL_SUCCESS
      At least one literal was successfully fetched.

  MrmBAD_HIERARCHY
      The hierarchy ID was invalid.

  MrmFAILURE
      The function failed.
