XmCvtXmStringTableToTextProperty

A function that converts from XmStringTable to an XTextProperty Structure

Format

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
int XmCvtXmStringTableToTextProperty ( display, string_table, count,
style, text_prop_return)
        Display * display;
        XmStringTable    string_table;
        int      count;
        XmICCEncodingStyle       style;
        XTextProperty   * text_prop_return;
(VOID)

DESCRIPTION

XmCvtXmStringTableToTextProperty converts the XmStrings in the specified XmStringTable into an XTextProperty structure.

The function sets the encoding member of text_prop_return to an Atom for the specified display naming the encoding determined by the specified style, and it converts the first count compound strings in the specified XmStringTable to this encoding for storage in the text_prop_return value member. Following are the possible encoding styles:

XmSTYLE_COMPOUND_STRING

The encoding is _MOTIF_COMPOUND_STRING. The function converts each specified XmString to a compound string in Byte Stream format.

XmSTYLE_COMPOUND_TEXT

The encoding is COMPOUND_TEXT. The function converts each specified XmString to compound text.

XmSTYLE_LOCALE

The encoding is the encoding of the current locale. The function converts each specified XmString to the encoding of the current locale.

XmSTYLE_STRING

The encoding is STRING (plain C strings encoded in ISO8859-1), and the function converts each specified XmString to STRING.

XmSTYLE_TEXT

If all specified XmStrings are fully convertible to the encoding of the current locale, the encoding is the encoding of the current locale, and the function converts each specified XmString to the encoding of the current locale. Otherwise, the encoding is COMPOUND_TEXT, and the function converts each specified compound string to compound text.

XmSTYLE_STANDARD_ICC_TEXT

If all specified XmStrings are fully convertible to STRING, the encoding is STRING, and the function converts each specified XmString to STRING. Otherwise, the encoding is COMPOUND_TEXT, and the function converts each specified XmString to compound text.

display

Specifies the connection to the X server.

string_table

Specifies a set of XmStrings.

count

Specifies the number of XmStrings to be converted in string_table.

style

Specifies the manner in which the property is encoded.

text_prop_return

Returns the XTextProperty structure.

To free the storage for the value member of the XTextProperty, use XtFree.

RETURN VALUES

If conversion depends on the locale and the current locale is not supported, the function returns XLocaleNotSupported. In both of these cases, the function does not set text_prop_return.

To determine whether the function is guaranteed not to return XLocaleNotSupported, use XSupportsLocale.
