XtNameToWidget(3Xt)	   XT FUNCTIONS	      XtNameToWidget(3Xt)


NAME
       XtNameToWidget, XtWindowToWidget - translating strings to
       widgets or widgets to windows

SYNTAX
       Widget XtNameToWidget(reference, names);
	     Widget reference;
	     String names;

       Widget XtWindowToWidget(display, window)
	     Display *display;
	     Window window;

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the display on which the window is
		 defined.

       names	 Specifies the fully qualified name of the
		 desired widget.

       reference Specifies the widget from which the search is to
		 start.

       window	 Specify the window for which you want the wid
		 get.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtNameToWidget function looks for a widget whose name
       is the first component in the specified names and that is
       a pop-up child of reference (or a normal child if refer
       ence is a subclass of compositeWidgetClass).  It then uses
       that widget as the new reference and repeats the search
       after deleting the first component from the specified
       names.  If it cannot find the specified widget, XtNameTo_
       Widget returns NULL.

       Note that the names argument contains the name of a widget
       with respect to the specified reference widget and can
       contain more than one widget name (separated by periods)
       for widgets that are not direct children of the specified
       reference widget.

       If more than one child of the reference widget matches the
       name, XtNameToWidget can return any of the children.  The
       Intrinsics do not require that all children of a widget
       have unique names.  If the specified names contain more
       than one component and if more than one child matches the
       first component, XtNameToWidget can return NULL if the
       single branch that it follows does not contain the named
       widget.	That is, XtNameToWidget does not back up and fol
       low other matching branches of the widget tree.

       The XtWindowToWidget function translates the specified
       window and display pointer into the appropriate widget
