Name

XtGetSelectionTimeout — get the current selection timeout value. 

Synopsis

unsigned int XtGetSelectionTimeout()

Description

XtGetSelectionTimeout has been superseded by XtAppGetSelectionTimeout.  XtGetSelectionTimeout returns the current value of the selection timeout in milliseconds.  The default value is 5000 milliseconds (five seconds). 

The selection timeout is the time within which the two communicating applications must respond to one another.  If one of them does not respond within this interval, the Intrinsics abort the selection request. 

Chapter 10, Interclient Communications, in Volume Four, X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual, presents a complete example widget that both sends and receives data using selection.
