Arguments
args-
Specifies the argument list to override resources obtained from the
resource database.
base-
Specifies the base address of the subpart data structure where the resources
should be written.
class-
Specifies the class of the subpart.
name-
Specifies the name of the subpart.
num_args-
Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.
num_resources-
Specifies the number of resources in the resource list.
resources-
Specifies the resource list for the subpart.
w-
Specifies the widget that wants resources for a subpart
or that identifies the resource database to search.
Description
The XtGetSubresources
function constructs a name or class list from the application name or class,
the names or classes of all its ancestors, and the widget itself.
Then, it appends to this list the name or class pair passed in.
The resources are fetched from the argument list, the resource database,
or the default values in the resource list.
Then, they are copied into the subpart record.
If args is NULL, num_args must be zero.
However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not referenced.
The XtGetApplicationResources
function first uses the passed widget,
which is usually an application shell,
to construct a resource name and class list,
Then, it retrieves the resources from the argument list,
the resource database, or the resource list default values.
After adding base to each address, XtGetApplicationResources
copies the resources into the address given in the resource list.
If args is NULL, num_args must be zero.
However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not referenced.
The portable way to specify application resources is to declare them
as members of a structure and pass the address of the structure
as the base argument.
