xtquerygeometry(3x)
NAME
XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget
SYNTAX
- XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry *intended,
- XtWidgetGeometry *preferred_return);
ARGUMENTS
- intended Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the child's
- geometry or NULL.
- preferred_return
- Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.
- w Specifies the widget.
DESCRIPTION
To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any
changes that it intends to make to the child's geometry in the corresponding fields of the intended structure, sets the corresponding bits
in intended.request_mode, and calls XtQueryGeometry.
XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode
and checks the query_geometry field of the specified widget's class
record. If query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the
query_geometry procedure and passes as arguments the specified widget,
intended, and preferred_return structures. If the intended argument is
NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry
structure with request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
