______________________________________________________________________________

NAME
       Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler,  Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler  -	 asso-
       ciate procedure callback	with ClientMessage type	X events

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<tk.h>

       Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler(proc)

       Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler(proc)

ARGUMENTS
       Tk_ClientMessageProc *proc (in)		 Procedure to invoke  whenever
						 a  ClientMessage  X event oc-
						 curs on any display.
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler arranges for proc to be  invoked  in  the
       future  whenever	 a ClientMessage X event occurs	that is	not handled by
       WM_PROTOCOL.  Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler is intended for use by  ap-
       plications which	need to	watch X	ClientMessage events, such as drag and
       drop applications.

       The  callback  to  proc	will be	made by	Tk_HandleEvent;	this mechanism
       only works in programs that dispatch events through Tk_HandleEvent  (or
       through	 other	 Tk  procedures	 that  call  Tk_HandleEvent,  such  as
       Tcl_DoOneEvent or Tk_MainLoop).

       Proc should have	arguments and result that match	the type Tk_ClientMes-
       sageProc:
	      typedef int Tk_ClientMessageProc(
		      Tk_Window	tkwin,
		      XEvent *eventPtr);
       The tkwin parameter to proc is the Tk window which is  associated  with
       this event.  EventPtr is	a pointer to the X event.

       Whenever	 an  X ClientMessage event is processed	by Tk_HandleEvent, the
       proc is called if it was	not handled  as	 a  WM_PROTOCOL.   The	return
       value  from proc	is normally 0.	A non-zero return value	indicates that
       the event is not	to be handled further; that is,	proc has done all pro-
       cessing that is to be allowed for the event.

       If there	are multiple ClientMessage event handlers, each	one is	called
       for each	event, in the order in which they were established.

       Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler may be called to delete a previously-cre-
       ated ClientMessage event	handler: it deletes each handler it finds that
       matches	the proc argument.  If no such handler exists, then Tk_Delete-
       ClientMessageHandler returns without doing anything.  Although Tk  sup-
       ports  it, it's probably	a bad idea to have more	than one callback with
       the same	proc argument.
