DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace(3)
CDE
NAME
  DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace - set the current workspace

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Wsm.h>
  Status DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace(Widget widget,
				  Atom aWorkspace);

DESCRIPTION
  The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function works with the workspace manager CDE
  workspace manager, dtwm(1), and sets the current workspace. Applications
  can use this function to switch from the current workspace to another
  workspace.

  The widget argument is a realized widget on the screen of interest.

  The aWorkspace argument is the name (in X atom form) of the workspace to be
  made current.

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function returns
  Success; otherwise, it returns a value not equal to Success.

APPLICATION USAGE
  If the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function is not successful, the most likely
  reason for failure is that the workspace manager CDE workspace manager,
  dtwm(1), is not running. The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function requires a
  widget. A gadget is not acceptable for the widget argument.

  DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace sends a message to the workspace manager CDE
  workspace manager, dtwm(1), to switch workspaces. If the workspace name is
  not valid, no action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error.
