       drag and drop transaction

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <Xm/DragDrop.h>

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       XmDragStart initiates  a  drag  operation.   This  routine
       returns the DragContext widget that it initializes for the
       associated drag transaction.  The toolkit  is  responsible
       for  freeing the DragContext when the drag and drop transaction
 is complete.  Specifies the ID of the smallest widget
  and/or  gadget  that  encloses  the  source  elements
       selected for a drag operation.  Specifies the XEvent  that
       triggered  the  drag operation.  This event must be a ButtonPress
 event.  Specifies the argument list.  Any XmDragContext
  resources  not specified in the argument list are
       obtained from the resource database or are  set  to  their
       default  values.   Specifies the number of attribute/value
       pairs in the argument list (arglist).

       For a complete definition of DragContext and  its  associated
 resources, see XmDragContext(3X).

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]
