XmActivateProtocol(3)

NAME

   XmActivateProtocol  ---  A VendorShell function that activates a protocol
   "XmActivateProtocol"   "VendorShell   functions"   "XmActivateProtocol"
   "protocols"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Protocols.h>
   void XmActivateProtocol(
   Widget shell,
   Atom property,
   Atom protocol);

DESCRIPTION

   XmActivateProtocol  activates  a  protocol. It updates the handlers and
   the property if the shell is realized. It is sometimes useful to  allow
   a  protocol's state information (callback lists, and so on) to persist,
   even though the client  may  choose  to  temporarily  resign  from  the
   interaction.  This  is supported by allowing a protocol to be in one of
   two states: active or inactive. If the protocol is active and the shell
   is  realized, the property contains the protocol Atom.  If the protocol
   is inactive, the Atom is not present in the property.

   XmActivateWMProtocol   is   a   convenience   interface.    It    calls
   XmActivateProtocol  with the property value set to the atom returned by
   interning WM_PROTOCOLS.

   shell     Specifies the widget with  which  the  protocol  property  is
             associated

   property  Specifies the protocol property

   protocol  Specifies the protocol Atom
