XmCvtTextPropertyToXmStringTable - Man Page

A function that converts from a TextProperty Structure to a StringTable

Synopsis

#include <Xm/Xm​.h>
int XmCvtTextPropertyToXmStringTable (display, text_prop, string_table_return, count_return)
        Display *display;
        XTextProperty   *text_prop;
        XmStringTable   *string_table_return;
        int     *count_return;
(void)

Description

XmCvtTextPropertyToXmStringTable converts the specified XTextProperty structure into an XmStringTable, as follows:

  ·

If the encoding member of text_prop is the Atom STRING, each returned XmString has a tag of "ISO8859-1" and a text type of XmCHARSET_TEXT​.

  ·

If the encoding member of text_prop is the encoding of the current locale, and if that encoding is not STRING, each returned XmString has a tag of _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE and a text type of XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT​.

  ·

If the encoding member of text_prop is other than STRING or the encoding of the current locale, the contents of the returned compound strings are implementation dependent​.

If conversion depends on the locale and the current locale is not supported, the function returns XLocaleNotSupported​. If conversion to the encoding of the current locale is required and if the locale is supported but no converter is available for the encoding specified in text_prop, the function returns XConverterNotFound​. For supported locales, existence of a converter from COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING, UTF8_STRING, or the encoding of the current locale is guaranteed if XSupportsLocale returns True for the current locale (but the actual text may contain unconvertible characters)​. Conversion of other encodings to the encoding of the current locale is implementation dependent​. In all of these error cases, the function does not set any return values​.

If an element of the value member of text_prop is not convertible to XmString, the corresponding entry in the returned XmStringTable will be NULL, and XmCvtTextPropertyToXmStringTable returns Success​.

To free the storage for the XmStringTable and its count_return compound strings returned by this function, first free each XmString in the table using XmStringFree, and then free the XmStringTable itself using XtFree​.

display

Specifies the connection to the X server​.

text_prop

Specifies a pointer to the XTextProperty​. The format member of text_prop must be 8​.

string_table_return

Specifies the XmStringTable array into which the converted compound strings are placed​.

count_return

Specifies the number of XmStrings returned by this function​.

Return Values

Upon success, this function returns the set of XmStrings in string_table_return, and it returns the number of XmStrings in count_return, and returns Success​. Otherwise, it returns the following:

XLocaleNotSupported

Returned if conversion depends on the locale and the current locale is not supported​.

XConverterNotFound

Returned if conversion to the encoding of the current locale is required and if the locale is supported but no converter is available for the encoding specified in text_prop​.
