NAME

XmSetProtocolHooks — a VendorShell function that allows pre and post actions to be executed when a protocol message is received from MWM.

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
#include <X11/Protocols.h> void XmSetProtocolHooks (shell, property, protocol, prehook, pre_closure, posthook, post_closure)
Widgetshell;
Atomproperty;
Atomprotocol;
XtCallbackProcprehook;
caddr_tpre_closure;
XtCallbackProcposthook;
caddr_tpost_closure; void XmSetWMProtocolHooks (shell, protocol, prehook, pre_closure, posthook, post_closure)
Widgetshell;
Atomprotocol;
XtCallbackProcprehook;
caddr_tpre_closure;
XtCallbackProcposthook;
caddr_tpost_closure;

DESCRIPTION

XmSetProtocolHooks is used by shells that want to have pre and post actions executed when a protocol message is received from MWM.  Since there is no guaranteed ordering in execution of event handlers or callback lists, this allows the shell to control the flow while leaving the protocol manager structures opaque. 

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

shellSpecifies the widget with which the protocol property is associated

propertySpecifies the protocol property

protocolSpecifies the protocol atom (or an int cast to Atom)

prehookSpecifies the procedure to call before calling entries on the client callback-list

pre_closureSpecifies the client data to be passed to the prehook when it is invoked

posthookSpecifies the procedure to call after calling entries on the client callback-list

post_closureSpecifies the client data to be passed to the posthook when it is invoked
