MrmRegisterNames(3X)

NAME
     MrmRegisterNames  -- Registers  the values associated with the names refer-
     enced in UIL (for example, UIL callback function names  or  UIL  identifier
     names)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>

     Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(register_list, register_count)
          MrmRegisterArglist  register_list;
          MrmCount            register_count;


VERSION
     This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.

DESCRIPTION
     The  MrmRegisterNames  function  registers a vector of names and associated
     values for access in MRM.  The values can be callback  functions,  pointers
     to  user-defined  data,  or  any other values.  The information provided is
     used to resolve symbolic references occurring in UID files  to  their  run-
     time  values.   For  callbacks, this information provides the procedure ad-
     dress required by the Motif Toolkit.  For names used as identifiers in UIL,
     this information provides any run-time mapping the application needs.

     This function is similar to MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy,  except  that  the
     scope  of the names registered by MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited to
     the hierarchy specified in the call to that  function,  whereas  the  names
     registered  by  MrmRegisterNames  have  global  scope.  When MRM looks up a
     name, it first tries to find the name among those registered for the  given
     hierarchy.   If  that  lookup  fails, it tries to find the name among those
     registered globally.


     register_list
                 Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names to be regis-
                 tered.  Each name is a  case-sensitive,  NULL-terminated  ASCII
                 string.  Each value is a 32-bit quantity, interpreted as a pro-
                 cedure address if the name is a callback function, and uninter-
                 preted otherwise.

     register_count
                 Specifies the number of entries in register_list.


     The  names  in the list are case-sensitive.  The list can be either ordered
     or unordered.

     Callback functions registered through MrmRegisterNames can be either  regu-
     lar  or creation callbacks.  Regular callbacks have declarations determined
     by Motif Toolkit and user requirements.  Creation callbacks have  the  same
     format as any other callback:

     void CallBackProc(widget_id, tag, callback_data)
          Widget              *widget_id;
          Opaque              tag
          XmAnyCallbackStruct *callback_data;


     widget_id      Specifies  the widget ID associated with the widget perform-
                    ing the callback (as in any callback function).

     tag            Specifies the tag value (as in any callback function).

     callback_data  Specifies  a  widget-specific  data  structure.   This  data
                    structure  has  a  minimum of two members: event and reason.
                    The reason member is always set to MrmCR_CREATE.


     Note that the widget name and parent are available from the  widget  record
     accessible through widget_id.

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


     MrmSUCCESS     The function executed successfully.

     MrmFAILURE     The function failed.
