XtMakeGeometryRequest(3Xt)
X11R6
NAME
  XtMakeGeometryRequest, XtMakeResizeRequest - make geometry manager request

SYNOPSIS
  XtGeometryResult XtMakeGeometryRequest(w, request, reply_return)
	  Widget w;
	  XtWidgetGeometry *request;
	  XtWidgetGeometry *reply_return;

  XtGeometryResult XtMakeResizeRequest(w, width, height, width_return,
  height_return)
	  Widget w;
	  Dimension width, height;
	  Dimension *width_return, *height_return

ARGUMENTS
  reply_return
      Returns the allowed widget size or may be NULL if the requesting widget
      is not interested in handling XtGeometryAlmost.

  request
      Specifies the desired widget geometry (size, position, border width,
      and stacking order).

  w   Specifies the widget that is making the request.

  width_return

  height_return
      Return the allowed widget width and height.

DESCRIPTION
  Depending on the condition, XtMakeGeometryRequest performs the following:

    ·  If the widget is unmanaged or the widget's parent is not realized, it
       makes the changes and returns XtGeometryYes.

    ·  If the parent is not a subclass of compositeWidgetClass or the
       parent's geometry_manager is NULL, it issues an error.

    ·  If the widget's being_destroyed field is True, it returns
       XtGeometryNo.

    ·  If the widget x, y, width, height and border_width fields are all
       equal to the requested values, it returns XtGeometryYes ; otherwise,
       it calls the parent's geometry_manager procedure with the given
       parameters.

    ·  If the parent's geometry manager returns XtGeometryYes and if
       XtCWQueryOnly is not set in the request_mode and if the widget is
       realized, XtMakeGeometryRequest calls the XConfigureWindow Xlib
       function to reconfigure the widget's window (set its size, location,
       and stacking order as appropriate).

    ·  If the geometry manager returns XtGeometryDone, the change has been
       approved and actually has been done. In this case,
       XtMakeGeometryRequest does no configuring and returns XtGeometryYes.
       XtMakeGeometryRequest never returns XtGeometryDone.

  Otherwise, XtMakeGeometryRequest returns the resulting value from the
  parent's geometry manager.

  Children of primitive widgets are always unmanaged; thus,
  XtMakeGeometryRequest always returns XtGeometryYes when called by a child
  of a primitive widget.

  The XtMakeResizeRequest function, a simple interface to
  XtMakeGeometryRequest, creates a XtWidgetGeometry structure and specifies
  that width and height should change. The geometry manager is free to modify
  any of the other window attributes (position or stacking order) to satisfy
  the resize request. If the return value is XtGeometryAlmost, width_return
  and height_return contain a compromise width and height. If these are
  acceptable, the widget should immediately make an XtMakeResizeRequest and
  request that the compromise width and height be applied. If the widget is
  not interested in XtGeometryAlmost replies, it can pass NULL for
  width_return and height_return.
