MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy(3X)
OSF/Motif


NAME
  MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy - Registers the values associated with the
  names referenced in UIL within a single hierarchy (for example, UIL
  callback function names or UIL identifier names)

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>


  Cardinal MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy(hierarchy_id, register_list,
  register_count)
	  MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id;
	  MrmRegisterArglist register_list;
	  MrmCount register_count;

DESCRIPTION
  The MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy 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 MrmRegisterNames, except that the scope of the
  names registered by MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is limited to the hierarchy
  specified by hierarchy_id, 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.

  hierarchy_id
      Specifies the hierarchy with which the names are to be associated.

  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 MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy 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.
