XtGetSubresources(3Xt)

NAME
XtGetSubresources, XtGetApplicationResources - obtain subresources or application resources

SYNTAX
void XtGetSubresources(w, base, name, class, resources, num_resources, args, num_args)
      Widget w;
      XtPointer base;
      String name;
      String class;
      XtResourceList resources;
      Cardinal num_resources;
      ArgList args;
      Cardinal num_args;

void XtGetApplicationResources(w, base, resources, num_resources, args, num_args)
      Widget w;
      XtPointer base;
      XtResourceList resources;
      Cardinal num_resources;
      ArgList args;
      Cardinal num_args;

ARGUMENTS

args
    Specifies the argument list to override resources obtained from the resource database.

base
    Specifies the base address of the subpart data structure where the resources should be written.

class
    Specifies the class of the subpart.

name
    Specifies the name of the subpart.

num_args
    Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

num_resources
    Specifies the number of resources in the resource list.

resources
    Specifies the resource list for the subpart.

w   Specifies the widget that wants resources for a subpart or that identifies the resource database to s.

DESCRIPTION
The function constructs a name/class list from the application name/class, the name/classes of all its ancestors, and the widget itself. Then, it appends to this list the name/class pair passed in. The resources are fetched from the argument list, the resource database, or the default values in the resource list. Then, they are copied into the subpart record. If args is NULL, num_args must be zero. However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not referenced.

The function first uses the passed widget, which is usually an application shell, to construct a resource name and class list, Then, it retrieves the resources from the argument list, the resource database, or the resource list default values. After adding base to each address, copies the resources into the address given in the resource list. If args is NULL, num_args must be zero. However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not referenced. The portable way to specify application resources is to declare them as members of a structure and pass the address of the structure as the base argument.
