XtCreateSelectionRequest(3)	  XT FUNCTIONS	     XtCreateSelectionRequest(3)

NAME
     XtCreateSelectionRequest,	XtSendSelectionRequest, XtCancelSelectionRequest
     - bundle multiple selection conversion requests into a single request using
     MULTIPLE target

SYNTAX
     #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

     void XtCreateSelectionRequest(Widget requestor, Atom selection);

     void XtSendSelectionRequest(Widget requestor, Atom selection, Time time);

     void XtCancelSelectionRequest(Widget requestor, Atom selection);

ARGUMENTS
     requestor Specifies the widget making the request.  Must be of  class  Core
	       or a subclass thereof.

     selection Specifies the particular selection desired.

     time      Specifies the timestamp to be used in making the request.

DESCRIPTION
     When  XtCreateSelectionRequest  is  called, subsequent calls to XtGetSelec-
     tionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with the requestor and  selec-
     tion as specified to XtCreateSelectionRequest will be bundled into a single
     selection	conversion  request with multiple targets.  The request is actu-
     ally initiated by calling XtSendSelectionRequest.

     When XtSendSelectionRequest is called with a value of requestor and  selec-
     tion matching a previous call to XtCreateSelectionRequest, a selection con-
     version  request is actually sent to the selection owner.	If a single tar-
     get request is queued, that request  is  made.   If  multiple  targets  are
     queued  they are bundled into a single request with the target MULTIPLE us-
     ing the specified timestamp.  As the conversions are  made,  the  callbacks
     associated with each XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSelectionValueIncremental
     are invoked in turn.

     Multi-threaded  applications  should  lock  the  application context before
     calling XtCreateSelectionRequest and release the lock after calling XtSend-
     SelectionRequest to ensure that the thread assembling the request	is  safe
     from  interference  by another thread assembling a different request naming
     the same widget and selection.

     When XtCancelSelectionRequest is called, any requests queued since the last
     call to XtCreateSelectionRequest  are  cleaned  up.   Subsequent  calls  to
     XtGetSelectionValue,  XtGetSelectionValues, XtGetSelectionValueIncremental,
     and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental will not be deferred.
