NAME
XSelectionEvent - SelectionNotify event structure
STRUCTURES
The structure for SelectionNotify events contains:
typedef struct {
int type; /* SelectionNotify */
unsigned long serial; /* # of last request processed by
server */
Bool send_event; /* true if this came from a SendEvent
request */
Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */
Window requestor;
Atom selection;
Atom target;
Atom property; /* atom or None */
Time time; } XSelectionEvent;
When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.
The type member is set to the event type constant name that uniquely
identifies it. For example, when the X server reports a GraphicsExpose
event to a client application, it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent struc-
ture with the type member set to GraphicsExpose. The display member is
set to a pointer to the display the event was read on. The send_event
member is set to True if the event came from a SendEvent protocol
request. The serial member is set from the serial number reported in
the protocol but expanded from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a
full 32-bit value. The window member is set to the window that is most
useful to toolkit dispatchers.
The requestor member is set to the window associated with the requestor
of the selection. The selection member is set to the atom that indi-
cates the selection. For example, PRIMARY is used for the primary
selection. The target member is set to the atom that indicates the
converted type. For example, PIXMAP is used for a pixmap. The prop-
erty member is set to the atom that indicates which property the result
was stored on. If the conversion failed, the property member is set to
None. The time member is set to the time the conversion took place and
can be a timestamp or CurrentTime.
