Tk_OwnSelection(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_OwnSelection(3)_________________________________________________________________NAMETk_OwnSelection - make a window the owner of the primary
selection
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_OwnSelection(tkwin, selection, proc, clientData)
ARGUMENTS
Tk_Window tkwin (in) Window that is to
become new selec-
tion owner.
Atom selection (in) The name of the
selection to be
owned, such as
XA_PRIMARY.
Tk_LostSelProc *proc (in) Procedure to
invoke when tkwin
loses selection
ownership later.
ClientData clientData (in) Arbitrary one-word
value to pass to
proc.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTIONTk_OwnSelection arranges for tkwin to become the new owner
of the selection specified by the atom selection. After
this call completes, future requests for the selection
will be directed to handlers created for tkwin using
Tk_CreateSelHandler. When tkwin eventually loses the
selection ownership, proc will be invoked so that the win-
dow can clean itself up (e.g. by unhighlighting the selec-
tion). Proc should have arguments and result that match
the type Tk_LostSelProc:
typedef void Tk_LostSelProc(ClientData clientData);
The clientData parameter to proc is a copy of the client-
Data argument given to Tk_OwnSelection, and is usually a
pointer to a data structure containing application-spe-
cific information about tkwin.
