XmString — Data type for a compound string "XmString"
"data types" "XmString"
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString is the data type for a compound string. Compound strings consist
of a sequence of components, including, but not limited to, the following:
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_POP
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_DIRECTION
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_PUSH
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_CHARSET
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE_TEXT
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TEXT
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_END
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_BEGIN
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_END
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN
- •
- XmSTRING_COMPONENT_WIDECHAR_TEXT
and also a rendition tags table, text, and text component. When a compound
string is displayed, the rendition tags and the direction are used to
determine how to display the text.
Calling
XtGetValues for a resource whose type is
XmString yields a
copy of the compound string resource value. The application is responsible for
using
XmStringFree to free the memory allocated for the copy.
Please see the
XmStringComponentType reference page for more detail about
compound string components, and for a description of the order in which the
components should appear in a compound string. Refer to the
XmRenderTable reference page for a description of the algorithm that
associates the rendition tags used for displaying a compound string text
component with a rendition in a render table.
