NAME¶

XmClipboardEndCopy — A clipboard function that completes the copying of data to the clipboard

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <Xm/CutPaste.h>
int XmClipboardEndCopy (display, window, item_id)


        Display * display;


        Window  window;


        long    item_id;
(void)

DESCRIPTION¶

XmClipboardEndCopy locks the clipboard from access by other applications, places data in the clipboard data structure, and unlocks the clipboard. Data items copied to the clipboard by XmClipboardCopy are not actually entered in the clipboard data structure until the call to XmClipboardEndCopy.

This function also frees up temporary storage that was allocated by XmClipboardStartCopy, which must be called before XmClipboardEndCopy. The latter function should not be called if XmClipboardCancelCopy has been called.

display

Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.

window

Specifies the window ID of a widget that relates the application window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can be obtained through XtWindow. The same application instance should pass the same window ID to each clipboard function it calls.

item_id

Specifies the number assigned to this data item, which was returned by a previous call to XmClipboardStartCopy.

RETURN¶

XmClipboardSuccess

The function was successful.

XmClipboardLocked

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.

XmClipboardFail

The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy was not called.
