XmStringGetNextComponent(3) Library Functions Manual XmStringGetNextComponent(3)

NAME
     XmStringGetNextComponent  --  A  compound	string function that returns the
     type and value of the next component in a compound string

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/Xm.h>
     XmStringComponentType XmStringGetNextComponent(
     XmStringContext context,
     char **text,
     XmStringTag *tag,
     XmStringDirection *direction,
     XmStringComponentType *unknown_tag,
     unsigned short *unknown_length,
     unsigned char **unknown_value);

DESCRIPTION
     This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility  with  previous  re-
     leases. It is replaced by XmStringGetNextTriple.

     XmStringGetNextComponent  returns	the type and value of the next component
     in the compound string identified by context.  Components are returned  one
     at a time. On return, only some output parameters will be valid; which ones
     can  be determined by examining the returned component type.  The following
     table describes the valid returns for each component type.
     +----------------------+------------------------------+
     | Valid Fields	    | Component Type		   |
     +----------------------+------------------------------+
     | tag		    | XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE,   |
     |			    | XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG	   |
     +----------------------+------------------------------+

     |			    | CALE_TEXT,   XmSTRING_COMPO- |
     |			    | NENT_TEXT,   XmSTRING_COMPO- |
     |			    | NENT_WIDECHAR_TEXT	   |

     +----------------------+------------------------------+
     | unknown_tag,	un- | XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAY-	   |

     |			    | TION_BEGIN,  XmSTRING_COMPO- |
     |			    | NENT_RENDITION_END	   |
     +----------------------+------------------------------+
     | no valid field	    | XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARA-   |
     |			    | TOR, XmSTRING_COMPONENT_END, |
     |			    | XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN   |
     +----------------------+------------------------------+
     +----------------------+------------------------------+

     Note that several components produce  a  return  value  of  XmSTRING_COMPO-
     NENT_UNKNOWN.  The data returned by these components is returned in the un-
     known_tag, unknown_length, and unknown_value fields. This	apparent  incon-
     sistency  is  designed  to  accomodate  older  applications that may not be
     equipped to handle the newer component types of Motif version 2.0	and  be-
     yond.  Consequently, the use of this procedure is not recommended. Instead,
     use the XmStringGetNextTriple procedure, which provides all the functional-
     ity  of  XmStringGetNextComponent,  and  is fully compatible with the newer
     component types.

     If the function  return  value  is  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE_TEXT  or  Xm-
     STRING_COMPONENT_TEXT,  the  the  function  allocates space to hold the re-
     turned  text.   If   the	function   return   value   is	 XmSTRING_COMPO-
     NENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG, or XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG, then the function al-
     locates space to hold the returned tag.  The application is responsible for
     managing  the  allocated  space.  The application can recover the allocated
     space by calling XtFree.

     context   Specifies the string context structure that was allocated by  the
	       XmStringInitContext function.

     text      Specifies a pointer to a NULL terminated string.

     tag       Specifies  a  pointer  to  the  tag component associated with the
	       text. The value XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG identifies a  locale  text
	       segment.

     direction Specifies a pointer to the direction of the text.

     unknown_tag
	       Specifies a pointer to the tag of an unknown component.

     unknown_length
	       Specifies a pointer to the length of an unknown component.

     unknown_value
	       Specifies a pointer to the value of an unknown component.

RETURN
     Returns the type of component found.  Refer to the XmStringComponentType(3)
     reference page for a list of component types.
