Synopsis

#include <Xm/CutPaste​.h>

Description

XmClipboardEndCopy locks the clipboard from access by other applications, places data in the clipboard data structure, and unlocks the clipboard​. Data items copied to the clipboard by XmClipboardCopy are not actually entered in the clipboard data structure until the call to XmClipboardEndCopy​.

This function also frees up temporary storage that was allocated by XmClipboardStartCopy, which must be called before XmClipboardEndCopy​. The latter function should not be called if XmClipboardCancelCopy has been called​.

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 application 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 clipboard function it calls​.

item_id

Specifies the number assigned to this data item, which was returned by a previous call to XmClipboardStartCopy​.

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​.

XmClipboardFail

The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy was not called​.
