NAME
MrmFetchSetValues - Fetches the values to be set from literals stored
in UID files
SYNOPSIS
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmFetchSetValues(hierarchy_id, widget, args, num_args)
MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id;
Widget widget;
ArgList args;
Cardinal num_args;
DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchSetValues function is similar to XtSetValues, except that
the values to be set are defined by the UIL named values that are
stored in the UID hierarchy. MrmFetchSetValues fetches the values to be
set from literals stored in UID files. Specifies the ID of the UID hi-
erarchy that contains the specified literal. The hierarchy_id was re-
turned in a previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay. Specifies the
widget that is modified. Specifies an argument list that identifies
the widget arguments to be modified as well as the index (UIL name) of
the literal that defines the value for that argument. The name part of
each argument (args[n].name) must begin with the string XmN followed by
the name that uniquely identifies this attribute tag. For example, XmN-
width is the attribute name associated with the core argument width.
The value part (args[n].value) must be a string that gives the index
(UIL name) of the literal. You must define all literals in UIL as ex-
ported values. Specifies the number of entries in args.
This function sets the values on a widget, evaluating the values as
public literal resource references resolvable from a UID hierarchy.
Each literal is fetched from the hierarchy, and its value is modified
and converted as required. This value is then placed in the argument
list and used as the actual value for an XtSetValues call. MrmFetchSet-
Values allows a widget to be modified after creation using UID file
values exactly as is done for creation values in MrmFetchWidget.
As in MrmFetchWidget, each argument whose value can be evaluated from
the UID hierarchy is set in the widget. Values that are not found or
values in which conversion errors occur are not modified.
Each entry in the argument list identifies an argument to be modified
in the widget. The name part identifies the tag, which begins with XmN.
The value part must be a string whose value is the index of the lit-
eral. Thus, the following code would modify the label resource of the
widget to have the value of the literal accessed by the index OK_but-
ton_label in the hierarchy:
args[n].name = XmNlabel; args[n].value = "OK_button_label";
RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants: The func-
tion executed successfully. At least one literal was successfully
fetched. The hierarchy ID was invalid. The function failed.
