XmtDialogGetDialogValues(3) Library Functions Manual XmtDialogGetDialogValues(3)

NAME
     XmtDialogGetDialogValues(),  XmtDialogSetDialogValues()  -  transfer values
     between the fields of a data structure and the widgets of a dialog box.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xmt/Dialog.h>

     void XmtDialogGetDialogValues(Widget dialog, XtPointer address)

     void XmtDialogSetDialogValues(Widget dialog, XtPointer address)

ARGUMENTS
     INPUTS

	  dialog Any widget in a dialog box created with  XmtBuild  Dialog()  or
		 XmtBuildQueryDialog()-generally  the  dialog shell or the child
		 of that shell.

	  addressThe address of a data structure from which or to which data  is
		 to be transferred.

DESCRIPTION
     XmtDialogGetDialogValues() and XmtDialogSetDialogValues() first look up the
     resource  list associated with the dialog box of the widget dialog. This is
     the resource list that was specified in the  call	to  XmtBuildDialog()  or
     XmtBuildQueryDialog()  when  the dialog was created. (Or it is the resource
     list specified with XmtDialogBindResourceList() before dialog was created.)
     Each element in this array of resources  describes  a  field  in  the  data
     structure	pointed  to  by address, and each element may also be bound to a
     widget in the dialog box specified by dialog (using a special syntax in the
     xmtChildren resource.) See Chapter 29, Custom Dialogs and Automatic  Dialog
     Management,  for  details on these mappings between the data structure, the
     resource list, and the widgets of the dialog box.

     For each element of the resource list, XmtDialogGetDialogValues()	reads  a
     data  value  from	a widget in the dialog box and stores it into a field in
     the data structure pointed to by address.

     XmtDialogSetDialogValues() does the opposite: for each ele ment in the  re-
     source  list,  it	copies a value from the data structure and store it into
     the corresponding widget in the dialog box.

     The actual job of querying and setting values on particular widgets in  the
     dialog is done by the ``get value'' and ``set value'' procedures registered
     for  widgets  of  those types.  See Chapter 29 and XmtRegisterWidgetTypes()
     for more information.
