XmStringByteCompare — A compound string function that indicates
the results of a byte-by-byte comparison "XmStringByteCompare"
"compound string functions" "XmStringByteCompare"
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Boolean XmStringByteCompare(
XmString s1,
XmString s2);
This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases.
XmStringByteCompare returns a Boolean indicating the results of a
byte-by-byte comparison of two compound strings.
In general, if two compound strings are created with the same (
char *)
string using
XmStringCreateLocalized in the same language environment,
the compound strings compare as equal. If two compound strings are created
with the same (
char *) string and the same font list element
tag set other than
XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG using
XmStringCreate,
the strings compare as equal.
In some cases, once a compound string is put into a widget, that string is
converted into an internal form to allow faster processing. Part of the
conversion process strips out unnecessary or redundant information. If an
application then does an
XtGetValues to retrieve a compound string from
a widget (specifically, Label and all of its subclasses), it is not guaranteed
that the compound string returned is byte-for-byte the same as the string
given to the widget originally.
- s1
- Specifies a compound string to be compared with
s2
