XtSetSelectionParameters(3Xt)	XT FUNCTIONS	XtSetSelectionParameters(3Xt)



NAME
  XtSetSelectionParameters - specify target parameters for a selection
  request with a single target

SYNTAX
  void XtSetSelectionParameters(requestor, selection, type, value, length,
  format)
	Widget requestor;
	Atom selection;
	Atom type;
	XtPointer value;
	unsigned long length;
	int format;

ARGUMENTS

  requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be of clase Core or
	    any subclass thereof.

  selection Specifies the atom that names the selection.

  type	    Specifies the type of the property in which the parameters will
	    be passed.

  value	    Specifies a pointer to the parameters.

  length    Specifies the number of elements containing data in value, each
	    element of a sized indicated by format.

  format    Specifies the size in bits of the data in the elements of value.

DESCRIPTION
  The specified parameters will be copied and stored in a new property of the
  specified type and format on the requestor's window. To initiate a selec-
  tion request with a target and these parameters, a subsequent call to
  XtGetSelectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental specifying the
  same requestor widget and selection atomm will generate a ConvertSelection
  request referring referring to the property containing the parameters. If
  XtSetSelectionParameters is called more than once with the same widget and
  selection without a call to specify a request, the most recently specified
  parameters are used in the subsequent request.

  The possible values of format may be 8, 16, or 32. If the format is 8, the
  elements of value are assumed to be sizeof(char); if 16, sizeof(short); if
  32, sizeof(long).

  To generate a MULTIPLE target request with parameters for any of the multi-
  ple targets of the selection request, precede individual calls to XtGet-
  SelectionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with corresponding indi-
  vidual calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these all within
  XtCreateSelectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRequest.	XtGetSelectionValues
  and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental cannot be used  to make selection
  requests with parameterized targets.
