XmClipboardCancelCopy

A clipboard function that cancels a copy to the clipboard

Format

#include <Xm/CutPaste.h>
int XmClipboardCancelCopy ( display, window, item_id)
        Display  * display;
        Window   window;
        long     item_id;
(VOID)

DESCRIPTION

XmClipboardCancelCopy cancels the copy to clipboard that is in progress and frees up temporary storage. When a copy is to be performed, XmClipboardStartCopy allocates temporary storage for the clipboard data. XmClipboardCopy copies the appropriate data into the temporary storage. XmClipboardEndCopy copies the data to the clipboard structure and frees up the temporary storage structures. If XmClipboardCancelCopy is called, the XmClipboardEndCopy function does not have to be called. A call to XmClipboardCancelCopy is valid only after a call to XmClipboardStartCopy.

display

Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.

window

Specifies a widget's window ID 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 of the clipboard functions that it calls.

item_id

Specifies the number assigned to this data item. This number 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 or because the data item contains too many formats.
