XtRemoveRawEventHandler, XtInsertEventHandler, XtInsertRawEventHandler
- add and remove event handlers
SYNTAX
- void XtAddEventHandler(Widget w, EventMask event_mask, Boolean nonmask
- able, XtEventHandler proc, XtPointer client_data);
- void XtAddRawEventHandler(Widget w, EventMask event_mask, Boolean non
- maskable, XtEventHandler proc, XtPointer client_data);
- void XtRemoveEventHandler(Widget w, EventMask event_mask, Boolean non
- maskable, XtEventHandler proc, XtPointer client_data);
- void XtRemoveRawEventHandler(Widget w, EventMask event_mask, Boolean
- nonmaskable, XtEventHandler proc, XtPointer client_data);
- void XtInsertEventHandler(Widget w, EventMask event_mask, Boolean non
- maskable, XtEventHandler proc, XtPointer client_data, XtListPosition position);
- void XtInsertRawEventHandler(Widget w, EventMask event_mask, Boolean
- nonmaskable, XtEventHandler proc, XtPointer client_data, XtListPosition position);
- typedef enum { XtListHead, XtListTail } XtListPosition;
ARGUMENTS
- client_data
- Specifies additional data to be passed to the client's event handler.
- event_mask
- Specifies the event mask for which to call or unregister this procedure.
- nonmaskable
- Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether this procedure should be called or removed on the nonmaskable events
(GraphicsExpose, NoExpose, SelectionClear, SelectionRequest, SelectionNotify, ClientMessage, and MappingNotify). - proc Specifies the procedure that is to be added or removed.
- w Specifies the widget for which this event handler is being
- registered.
- position Specifies when the event handler is to be called relative to
- other previously registered handlers.
DESCRIPTION
The XtAddEventHandler function registers a procedure with the dispatch
mechanism that is to be called when an event that matches the mask
occurs on the specified widget. If the procedure is already registered
with the same client_data, the specified mask is ORed into the existing
mask. If the widget is realized, XtAddEventHandler calls XSelectInput,
if necessary.
The XtAddRawEventHandler function is similar to XtAddEventHandler
except that it does not affect the widget's mask and never causes an
XSelectInput for its events. Note that the widget might already have
those mask bits set because of other nonraw event handlers registered
on it.
The XtRemoveRawEventHandler function stops the specified procedure from
receiving the specified events. Because the procedure is a raw event
handler, this does not affect the widget's mask and never causes a call
on XSelectInput.
XtInsertEventHandler is identical to XtAddEventHandler with the additional position argument. if position is XtListHead, the event handler
is registered to that it will be called before any event handlers that
were previously registered for the same widget. If position is XtListTail, the event handler is registered to be called after any previously
registered event handlers. If the procedure is already registered with
the same client_data value, the specified mask augments the existing
mask and the procedure is repositioned in the list.
XtInsertRawEventHandler is similar to XtInsertEventHandler except that
it does not modify the widget's event mask and never causes an XSelectInput for the specified events. If the procedure is already registered
with the same client_data value, the specified mask augments the existing mask and the procedure is repositioned in the list.
