XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)	XT FUNCTIONS	     XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)



NAME
  XtGetSelectionValue, XtGetSelectionValues - obtain selection values

SYNTAX
  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 pro-
	    cedure 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 tar-
	    get.

  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.


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 XtGet-
  SelectionValue.  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.
