NAME [Toc] [Back]
DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace - set the current workspace
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <Dt/Wsm.h>
int DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace(
Widget widget,
Atom aWorkspace);
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function works with the CDE workspace
manager, dtwm(1), and sets the current workspace. Applications can
use this function to switch from the current workspace to another
workspace.
The widget argument is a realized widget on the screen of interest.
The aWorkspace argument is the name (in X atom form) of the workspace
to be made current.
RETURN VALUE [Toc] [Back]
Upon successful completion, the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function
returns Success; otherwise, it returns a value not equal to Success.
APPLICATION USAGE [Toc] [Back]
If the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function is not successful, the most
likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1),
is not running. The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function requires a
widget. A gadget is not acceptable for the widget argument.
DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace sends a message to the CDE workspace manager,
dtwm(1), to switch workspaces. If the workspace name is not valid, no
action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error.
