NAME

XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(), XtAppSetSelectionTimeout() - set and obtain selection time-out values

SYNOPSIS

unsigned long XtAppGetSelectionTimeout (XtAppContext app_context)
void XtAppSetSelectionTimeout (XtAppContext app_context,
							 unsigned long timeout)

ARGUMENTS

app_context

timeout

Specifies the selection time-out in milliseconds.

DESCRIPTION

The XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(3) function returns the current selection time-out value, in milliseconds. The selection time-out is the time within which the two communicating applications must respond to one another. The initial time-out value is set by the selectionTimeout application resource, or, if selectionTimeout is not specified, it defaults to five seconds.

The XtAppSetSelectionTimeout(3) function sets the Intrinsics's selection time-out mechanism. Note that most applications should not set the selection time-out.
