XSelectionEvent(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XSelectionEvent(3X11)NAMEXSelectionEvent - SelectionNotify event structure
STRUCTURES
The structure for SelectionNotify events contains:
typedef struct {
int type; /* SelectionNotify */
unsigned long serial; /* # of last request processed by server */
Bool send_event; /* true if this came from a SendEvent request */
Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */
Window requestor;
Atom selection;
Atom target;
Atom property; /* atom or None */
Time time;
} XSelectionEvent;
When you receive this event, the structure members are set
as follows.
The type member is set to the event type constant name
that uniquely identifies it. For example, when the X
server reports a GraphicsExpose event to a client applica-
tion, it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent structure with the
type member set to GraphicsExpose. The display member is
set to a pointer to the display the event was read on.
The send_event member is set to True if the event came
from a SendEvent protocol request. The serial member is
set from the serial number reported in the protocol but
expanded from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a full
32-bit value. The window member is set to the window that
is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.
The requestor member is set to the window associated with
the requestor of the selection. The selection member is
set to the atom that indicates the selection. For exam-
ple, PRIMARY is used for the primary selection. The tar-
get member is set to the atom that indicates the converted
type. For example, PIXMAP is used for a pixmap. The
property member is set to the atom that indicates which
property the result was stored on. If the conversion
failed, the property member is set to None. The time mem-
ber is set to the time the conversion took place and can
be a timestamp or CurrentTime.
