XmClipboardInquireFormat - A clipboard function that returns a specified format name
#include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>
int XmClipboardInquireFormat (display, window, index, format_name_buf, buffer_len, copied_len)
Display * display;
Window window;
int index;
XtPointer format_name_buf;
unsigned long buffer_len;
unsigned long * copied_len;
XmClipboardInquireFormat returns
a specified format name for the data item in the clipboard. If the name must
be truncated, the function returns a warning status.
Specifies a pointer to the Display
structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay
or XtDisplay.
Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the application
window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can be obtained by using XtWindow. The same application instance should pass the same window
ID to each of the clipboard functions that it calls.
Specifies which of the ordered format names to obtain. If
this index is greater than the number of formats for the data item, this function
returns a zero in the copied_len argument.
Specifies the buffer that receives the format name.
Specifies the number of bytes in the format name buffer.
Specifies the number of bytes in the string copied to the
buffer. If this argument equals zero, there is no nth
format for the data item.
The function is successful.
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.
The data returned is truncated because the user
did not provide a buffer large enough to hold the data.
The function could not find data on the clipboard corresponding
to the format requested. This could occur because the clipboard is empty;
there is data on the clipboard but not in the requested format; or the data
in the requested format was passed by name and is no longer available.
