XmClipboardCopy(3) Library Functions Manual XmClipboardCopy(3) NAME XmClipboardCopy -- A clipboard function that copies a data item to tem- porary storage for later copying to clipboard SYNOPSIS #include <Xm/CutPaste.h> int XmClipboardCopy (display, window, item_id, format_name, buffer, length, private_id, data_id) Display * display; Window window; long item_id; char * format_name; XtPointer buffer; unsigned long length; long private_id; long * data_id; (void) DESCRIPTION XmClipboardCopy copies a data item to temporary storage. The data item is moved from temporary storage to the clipboard data structure when a call to XmClipboardEndCopy is made. Additional calls to XmClipboard- Copy before a call to XmClipboardEndCopy add additional data item for- mats to the same data item or append data to an existing format. For- mats are described in the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM) as targets. NOTE: Do not call XmClipboardCopy before a call to XmClipboardStartCopy has been made. The latter function allocates temporary storage required by XmClipboardCopy. If the buffer argument is NULL, the data is considered to be passed by name. When data that has been passed by name is later requested by an- other application, the application that owns the data receives a call- back with a request for the data. The application that owns the data must then transfer the data to the clipboard with the XmClipboardCopy- ByName function. When a data item that was passed by name is deleted from the clipboard, the application that owns the data receives a call- back stating that the data is no longer needed. For information on the callback function, see the callback argument de- scription for XmClipboardStartCopy. display Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was re- turned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay. window Specifies the window ID of a widget that relates the applica- tion window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can be obtained through XtWindow. The same application instance should pass the same window ID to each of the clipboard func- tions that it calls. item_id Specifies the number assigned to this data item. This number was returned by a previous call to XmClipboardStartCopy. format_name Specifies the name of the format in which the data item is stored on the clipboard. The format was known as target in the ICCCM. buffer Specifies the buffer from which the clipboard copies the data. length Specifies the length, in bytes, of the data being copied to the clipboard. private_id Specifies the private data that the application wants to store with the data item. data_id Specifies an identifying number assigned to the data item that uniquely identifies the data item and the format. This argument is required only for data that is passed by name. RETURN XmClipboardSuccess The function was successful. XmClipboardLocked The function failed because the clipboard was locked by an- other application. The application can continue to call the function again with the same parameters until the lock goes away. This gives the application the opportunity to ask if the user wants to keep trying or to give up on the operation. XmClipboardFail The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy was not called or because the data item contains too many formats.
