NAME
       XtSetSelectionParameters - specify target parameters for a
       selection request with a single target

SYNTAX
       void XtSetSelectionParameters(Widget requestor, Atom
              selection, Atom type, XtPointer value, unsigned
              long length, int format);

ARGUMENTS
       requestor Specifies the widget making the request. Must be
                 of class Core or any subclass thereof.

       selection Specifies the atom that names the selection.

       type      Specifies the type of the property in which the
                 parameters will be passed.

       value     Specifies a pointer to the parameters.

       length    Specifies the number of elements containing data
                 in value, each element of a sized indicated by
                 format.

       format    Specifies the size in bits of the data in the
                 elements of value.

DESCRIPTION
       The specified parameters will be copied and stored in a
       new property of the specified type and format on the
       requestor's window. To initiate a selection request with a
       target and these parameters, a subsequent call to XtGetSe-
       lectionValue or to XtGetSelectionValueIncremental specify-
       ing the same requestor widget and selection atom will gen-
       erate a ConvertSelection request referring referring to
       the property containing the parameters. If XtSetSelection-
       Parameters is called more than once with the same widget
       and selection without a call to specify a request, the
       most recently specified parameters are used in the subse-
       quent request.

       The possible values of format may be 8, 16, or 32. If the
       format is 8, the elements of value are assumed to be
       sizeof(char); if 16, sizeof(short); if 32, sizeof(long).

       To generate a MULTIPLE target request with parameters for
       any of the multiple targets of the selection request, pre-
       cede individual calls to XtGetSelectionValue and XtGetSe-
       lectionValueIncremental with corresponding individual
       calls to XtSetSelectionParameters, and enclose these all
       within XtCreateSelectionRequest and XtSendSelectionRe-
       quest.  XtGetSelectionValues and XtGetSelectionValuesIn-
       cremental cannot be used  to make selection requests with
       parameterized targets.
