[comp.windows.x] Type Conversion Procedures

battle@BATTLE.ESD.ORNL.GOV (David L. Battle) (02/08/90)

What is the proper argument sequence to type converters?  The manual says:

static Boolean CvtStringToPixel(display, args, num args, fromVal, toVal, converter data)

but the code says:

XmuCvtStringToOrientation(args, num_args, fromVal, toVal)
    XrmValuePtr *args;          /* unused */
    Cardinal    *num_args;      /* unused */
    XrmValuePtr fromVal;
    XrmValuePtr toVal;


Which is right?  Either? Neither? Both?  Am I missing something somewhere?

Please send any followups to me personally by email.  I usually read xpert on
comp.windows.x but our news is badly broken at UT right now.  Of course you
can post followups of general interest also.

Both.  XtConverter procs are the "old" (pre-R4) form, and XtTypeConverter
procs are the "new" (R4) form.  They get registered with different calls.
