     NAME
          MrmFetchSetValues - Fetches the values to be set from
          literals stored in UID files

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>

          Cardinal MrmFetchSetValues(hierarchy_id, widget, args, num_args)
               MrmHierarchyhierarchy_id;
               Widget    widget;
               ArgList   args;
               Cardinal  num_args;

     DESCRIPTION
          The MrmFetchSetValues function is similar to XtSetValues,
          except that the values to be set are defined by the UIL
          named values that are stored in the UID hierarchy.
          MrmFetchSetValues fetches the values to be set from literals
          stored in UID files.

          hierarchy_id
               Specifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the
               specified literal. The hierarchy_id was returned in a
               previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.

          widget
               Specifies the widget that is modified.

          args Specifies an argument list that identifies the widget
               arguments to be modified as well as the index (UIL
               name) of the literal that defines the value for that
               argument.  The name part of each argument
               (args[n].name) must begin with the string XmN followed
               by the name that uniquely identifies this attribute
               tag.  For example, XmNwidth is the attribute name
               associated with the core argument width.  The value
               part (args[n].value) must be a string that gives the
               index (UIL name) of the literal.  You must define all
               literals in UIL as exported values.

          num_args
               Specifies the number of entries in args.

          This function sets the values on a widget, evaluating the
          values as public literal resource references resolvable from
          a UID hierarchy.  Each literal is fetched from the
          hierarchy, and its value is modified and converted as
          required.  This value is then placed in the argument list
          and used as the actual value for an XtSetValues call.
          MrmFetchSetValues allows a widget to be modified after
          creation using UID file values exactly as is done for
          creation values in MrmFetchWidget.
          As in MrmFetchWidget, each argument whose value can be
          evaluated from the UID hierarchy is set in the widget.
          Values that are not found or values in which conversion
          errors occur are not modified.

          Each entry in the argument list identifies an argument to be
          modified in the widget.  The name part identifies the tag,
          which begins with XmN.  The value part must be a string
          whose value is the index of the literal.  Thus, the
          following code would modify the label resource of the widget
          to have the value of the literal accessed by the index
          OK_button_label in the hierarchy:  args[n].name = XmNlabel;
          args[n].value = "OK_button_label";

     RETURN VALUE
          This function returns one of these status return constants:

          MrmSUCCESS
               The function executed successfully.

          MrmPARTIAL_SUCCESS
               At least one literal was successfully fetched.

          MrmBAD_HIERARCHY
               The hierarchy ID was invalid.

          MrmFAILURE
               The function failed.
