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
structure 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
indicates 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
property 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.
