XtQueryGeometry(3) XT FUNCTIONS XtQueryGeometry(3)

NAME

XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child widget

SYNTAX

XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(Widget w, XtWidgetGeometry
*intended, XtWidgetGeometry *preferred_return);

ARGUMENTS

intended Specifies any changes the parent plans to make to the
child's geometry or NULL.

preferred_return
Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

w Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION

To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's parent sets any
changes that it intends to make to the child's geometry in the
corresponding fields of the intended structure, sets the
corresponding bits in intended.request_mode, and calls
XtQueryGeometry.

XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the preferred_return->request_mode
and checks the query_geometry field of the specified widget's class
record. If query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the
query_geometry procedure and passes as arguments the specified
widget, intended, and preferred_return structures. If the intended
argument is NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces it with a pointer to an
XtWidgetGeometry structure with request_mode=0 before calling
query_geometry.
