XtCreateSelectionRequest(3)	 XT FUNCTIONS	   XtCreateSelectionRequest(3)

NAME
       XtCreateSelectionRequest,   XtSendSelectionRequest,  XtCancelSelection-
       Request - 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 XtGetSe-
       lectionValue and	XtGetSelectionValueIncremental with the	requestor  and
       selection as specified to XtCreateSelectionRequest will be bundled into
       a  single  selection conversion request with multiple targets.  The re-
       quest is	actually initiated by calling XtSendSelectionRequest.

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

       Multi-threaded applications should lock the application context	before
       calling	XtCreateSelectionRequest  and  release	the lock after calling
       XtSendSelectionRequest to ensure	that the thread	assembling the request
       is safe from interference by another thread assembling a	different  re-
       quest 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, XtGetSelectionValueIncre-
       mental, and XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental will	not be deferred.
