NAME

MrmFetchWidgetOverride − Fetches any indexed (UIL named) application widget. It overrides the arguments specified for this application widget in UIL

SYNOPSIS

override_name, override_args, override_num_args,
widget, class)

DESCRIPTION

The MrmFetchWidgetOverride function is the extended version of MrmFetchWidget. It is identical to MrmFetchWidget, except that it allows the caller to override the widget’s name and any arguments that MrmFetchWidget would otherwise retrieve from the UID file or one of the defaulting mechanisms. That is, the override argument list is not limited to those arguments in the UID file.

The override arguments apply only to the widget fetched and returned by this function. Its children (subtree) do not receive any override parameters.

hierarchy_idSpecifies the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the interface definition. The hierarchy_id was returned in a previous call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.

indexSpecifies the UIL name of the widget to fetch.

parent_widgetSpecifies the parent widget ID.

override_nameSpecifies the name to override the widget name. Use a NULL value if you do not want to override the widget name.

override_argsSpecifies the override argument list, exactly as given to XtCreateWidget (conversion complete and so forth). Use a NULL value if you do not want to override the argument list.

override_num_argsSpecifies the number of arguments in override_args.

widgetReturns the widget ID of the created widget.

classReturns the class code identifying MRM’s widget class. Literals identifying MRM widget class codes are defined in the include file <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>.

RETURN VALUE

This function returns one of these status return constants:

MrmSUCCESSThe function executed successfully.

MrmBAD_HIERARCHY
The hierarchy ID was invalid.

MrmNOT_FOUNDThe widget was not found in UID hierarchy.

MrmFAILUREThe function failed.
