MrmRegisterNames(3X)
OSF/Motif


NAME
  MrmRegisterNames - Registers the values associated with the names
  referenced in UIL (for example, UIL callback function names or UIL
  identifier names)

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>


  Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(register_list, register_count)
	  MrmRegisterArglist register_list;
	  MrmCount register_count;

DESCRIPTION
  The MrmRegisterNames function registers a vector of names and associated
  values for access in MRM. The values can be callback functions, pointers to
  user-defined data, or any other values. The information provided is used to
  resolve symbolic references occurring in UID files to their run-time
  values.  For callbacks, this information provides the procedure address
  required by the Motif Toolkit. For names used as identifiers in UIL, this
  information provides any run-time mapping the application needs.

  This function is similar to MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy, except that the
  scope of the names registered by MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited to
  the hierarchy specified in the call to that function, whereas the names
  registered by MrmRegisterNames have global scope. When MRM looks up a name,
  it first tries to find the name among those registered for the given
  hierarchy. If that lookup fails, it tries to find the name among those
  registered globally.

  register_list
      Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names to be registered.
      Each name is a case-sensitive, NULL-terminated ASCII string. Each value
      is a 32-bit quantity, interpreted as a procedure address if the name is
      a callback function, and uninterpreted otherwise.

  register_count
      Specifies the number of entries in register_list.

  The names in the list are case-sensitive. The list can be either ordered or
  unordered.

  Callback functions registered through MrmRegisterNames can be either
  regular or creation callbacks. Regular callbacks have declarations
  determined by Motif Toolkit and user requirements. Creation callbacks have
  the same format as any other callback:

  void CallBackProc(widget_id, tag, callback_data)
	  Widget *widget_id;
	  Opaque tag
	  XmAnyCallbackStruct *callback_data;

  widget_id
      Specifies the widget ID associated with the widget performing the
      callback (as in any callback function).

  tag Specifies the tag value (as in any callback function).

  callback_data
      Specifies a widget-specific data structure. This data structure has a
      minimum of two members: event and reason. The reason member is always
      set to MrmCR_CREATE.

  Note that the widget name and parent are available from the widget record
  accessible through widget_id.

RETURN VALUE
  This function returns one of these status return constants:

  MrmSUCCESS
      The function executed successfully.

  MrmFAILURE
      The function failed.
