XtNameToWidget(3X11)    COMMAND REFERENCE    XtNameToWidget(3X11)



NAME
     XtNameToWidget, XtWidgetToWindow - translating strings to
     widgets or widgets to windows

SYNOPSIS
     Widget XtNameToWidget(reference, names);
           Widget reference;
           String names;

     Widget XtWindowToWidget(display, window)
           Display *display;
           Window window;

     This is user-contributed.

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the display on which the window is
               defined.

     names     Specifies the fully qualified name of the desired
               widget.

     reference Specifies the widget from which the search is to
               start.

     window    Specify the window for which you want the widget.

DESCRIPTION
     The XtNameToWidget function looks for a widget whose name is
     the first component in the specified names and that is a
     pop-up child of reference (or a normal child if reference is
     a subclass of compositeWidgetClass).  It then uses that
     widget as the new reference and repeats the search after
     deleting the first component from the specified names.  If
     it cannot find the specified widget, XtNameToWidget returns
     NULL.

     Note that the names argument contains the name of a widget
     with respect to the specified reference widget and can
     contain more than one widget name (separated by periods) for
     widgets that are not direct children of the specified
     reference widget.

     If more than one child of the reference widget matches the
     name, XtNameToWidget can return any of the children.  The
     Intrinsics do not require that all children of a widget have
     unique names.  If the specified names contain more than one
     component and if more than one child matches the first
     component, XtNameToWidget can return NULL if the single
     branch that it follows does not contain the named widget.
     That is, XtNameToWidget does not back up and follow other
     matching branches of the widget tree.
