XkbChangeEnabledControls(3)


NAME

   XkbChangeEnabledControls - Manipulates the EnabledControls control

SYNOPSIS

   Bool  XkbChangeEnabledControls (Display *dpy, unsigned int device_spec,
          unsigned int mask, unsigned int values);

ARGUMENTS

   - dpy  connection to X server

   - device_spec
           keyboard device to modify

   - mask 1 bit -> controls to enable / disable

   - values
          1 bit => enable, 0 bit => disable

DESCRIPTION

   The EnabledControls control is a bit mask where each bit that is turned
   on  means  the  corresponding  control is enabled, and when turned off,
   disabled.  It  corresponds   to   the   enabled_ctrls   field   of   an
   XkbControlsRec  structure  (see  STRUCTURES). The bits describing which
   controls are turned on or off are defined in Table 1.

   Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask  bits  used  to
   select controls for modification and to enable and disable the control.
   Note that the same mask bit is used to specify general modifications to
   the parameters used to configure the control (which), and to enable and
   disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies  in  the  table  (no
   "ok"  in column) are for controls that have no configurable attributes;
   and for controls that are not boolean controls and therefore cannot  be
   enabled or disabled.

   XkbAllControlsMask       ok                        (0xF8001FFF)

   The  mask  parameter  specifies  the  boolean controls to be enabled or
   disabled, and the  values  mask  specifies  the  new  state  for  those
   controls.  Valid  values  for  both  of  these  masks are composed of a
   bitwise inclusive OR of bits taken from the set of mask bits  in  Table
   1, using only those masks with "ok" in the enabled_ctrls column.

   If the X server does not support a compatible version of Xkb or the Xkb
   extension has not been properly  initialized,  XkbChangeEnabledControls
   returns  False;  otherwise,  it  sends  the request to the X server and
   returns True.

   Note  that  the  EnabledControls  control  only  enables  and  disables
   controls;  it  does  not  configure  them.  Some  controls, such as the
   AudibleBell control, have no configuration attributes and are therefore
   manipulated  solely  by  enabling  and disabling them. Others, however,
   have additional attributes to configure their  behavior.  For  example,
   the  RepeatControl control uses repeat_delay and repeat_interval fields
   to describe the timing behavior of keys that repeat. The  RepeatControl
   behavior   is   turned  on  or  off  depending  on  the  value  of  the
   XkbRepeatKeysMask bit, but you must use other means,  as  described  in
   this chapter, to configure its behavior in detail.

RETURN VALUES

   True           The X server supports a compatible version of Xkb.

   False          The  X  server  does not support a compatible version of
                  Xkb  or  the  Xkb  extension  has  not   been   properly
                  initialized.
