XmTrackingEvent(3)					    XmTrackingEvent(3)

NAME
       XmTrackingEvent — A Toolkit function that provides a modal interaction

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       Widget XmTrackingEvent(
       Widget widget,
       Cursor cursor,
       Boolean confine_to,
       XEvent *event_return);

DESCRIPTION
       XmTrackingEvent	provides  a  modal interface for selection of a compo‐
       nent.  It is intended to support context help.  The function calls  the
       XmUpdateDisplay	function.   XmTrackingEvent then grabs the pointer and
       discards succeeding events until	 BSelect  is  released	or  a  key  is
       pressed	and  then  released.   The function then returns the widget or
       gadget that contains the pointer when BSelect is released or a  key  is
       released, and ungrabs the pointer.

       widget	 Specifies  the	 widget	 ID of a widget to use as the basis of
		 the modal interaction. That is, the widget within  which  the
		 interaction must occur, usually a top-level shell.

       cursor	 Specifies  the	 cursor	 to be used for the pointer during the
		 interaction.  This is a standard X cursor name.

       confine_to
		 Specifies whether or not the cursor  should  be  confined  to
		 widget.

       event_return
		 Returns the ButtonRelease or KeyRelease event that causes the
		 function to return.

RETURN
       Returns the widget or gadget that contains the pointer when BSelect  is
       released	 or  a	key  is	 released. If no widget or gadget contains the
       pointer, the function returns NULL.
