NAMEXmClipboardLock — A clipboard function that locks the clipboard
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/CutPaste.h>
int XmClipboardLock (display, window)
Display * display;
Window window;
(void)
DESCRIPTIONXmClipboardLock locks the clipboard from access by another application
until XmClipboardUnlock is called. All clipboard functions lock and
unlock the clipboard to prevent simultaneous access. This function
allows the application to keep the clipboard data from changing between
calls to Inquire and other clipboard functions. The application does
not need to lock the clipboard between calls to XmClipboardStartCopy
and XmClipboardEndCopy or to XmClipboardStartRetrieve and XmClipboard‐
EndRetrieve.
If the clipboard is already locked by another application, XmClipboard‐
Lock returns an error status. Multiple calls to this function by the
same application increase the lock level.
display Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was
returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.
window Specifies the window ID of a widget that relates the applica‐
tion window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can be
obtained through XtWindow. The same application instance
should pass the same window ID to each of the clipboard func‐
tions that it calls.
RETURN
XmClipboardSuccess
The function was successful.
XmClipboardLocked
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.
