XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)
X11R6
NAME
  XtGetSelectionValue, XtGetSelectionValues - obtain selection values

SYNOPSIS
  void XtGetSelectionValue(w, selection, target, callback, client_data, time)
	  Widget w;
	  Atom selection;
	  Atom target;
	  XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
	  XtPointer client_data;
	  Time time;

  void XtGetSelectionValues(w, selection, targets, count, callback,
  client_data, time)
	  Widget w;
	  Atom selection;
	  Atom *targets;
	  int count;
	  XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
	  XtPointer client_data;
	  Time time;

ARGUMENTS
  callback
      Specifies the callback procedure that is to be called when the
      selection value has been obtained.

  client_data
      Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the specified procedure
      when it is called.

  client_data
      Specifies the client data (one for each target type) that is passed to
      the callback procedure when it is called for that target.

  count
      Specifies the length of the targets and client_data lists.

  selection
      Specifies the particular selection desired (that is, primary or
      secondary).

  target
      Specifies the type of the information that is needed about the
      selection.

  targets
      Specifies the types of information that is needed about the selection.

  time
      Specifies the timestamp that indicates when the selection value is
      desired.

  w   Specifies the widget that is making the request. The widget must be
      realized.

DESCRIPTION
  The XtGetSelectionValue function requests the value of the selection that
  has been converted to the target type. The specified callback will be
  called some time after XtGetSelectionValue is called; in fact, it may be
  called before or after XtGetSelectionValue returns.

  The XtGetSelectionValues function is similar to XtGetSelectionValue except
  that it takes a list of target types and a list of client data and obtains
  the current value of the selection converted to each of the targets. The
  effect is as if each target were specified in a separate call to
  XtGetSelectionValue. The callback is called once with the corresponding
  client data for each target.	XtGetSelectionValues does guarantee that all
  the conversions will use the same selection value because the ownership of
  the selection cannot change in the middle of the list, as would be when
  calling XtGetSelectionValue repeatedly.
