of data item formats
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>
int XmClipboardInquireCount (display, window, count, max_for‐
mat_name_length) Display * display; Window window;
int * count; unsigned long* max_format_name_length;
DESCRIPTIONXmClipboardInquireCount returns the number of data item formats avail‐
able for the data item in the clipboard. This function also returns
the maximum name-length for all formats in which the data item is
stored. Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned
in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay. Specifies a widget's
window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard. The
widget's window ID can be obtained by using XtWindow. The same appli‐
cation instance should pass the same window ID to each of the clipboard
functions that it calls. Returns the number of data item formats
available for the data item in the clipboard. If no formats are avail‐
able, this argument equals zero. The count includes the formats that
were passed by name. Specifies the maximum length of all format names
for the data item in the clipboard.
RETURN VALUE
The function is successful. The function failed because the clipboard
was locked by another 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. The function
could not find data on the clipboard corresponding to the format
requested. This could occur because the clipboard is empty; there is
data on the clipboard but not in the requested format; or the data in
the requested format was passed by name and is no longer available.
