XkbSelectEvents(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbSelectEvents(3)
NAME
XkbSelectEvents - Selects and / or deselects for delivery of one or more Xkb events and
has them delivered under all conditions
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbSelectEvents ( display, device_spec, bits_to_change, values_for_bits )
Display * display;
unsigned int device_spec;
unsigned long int bits_to_change;
unsigned long int values_for_bits;
ARGUMENTS
display
connection to the X server
device_spec
device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd
bits_to_change
determines events to be selected / deselected
values_for_bits
1=>select, 0->deselect; for events in bits_to_change
DESCRIPTION
Xkb events are selected using an event mask, much the same as normal core X events are
selected. However, unlike selecting core X events, where you must specify the selection
status (on or off) for all possible event types whenever you wish to change the selection
criteria for any one event, Xkb allows you to restrict the specification to only the event
types you wish to change. This means that you do not need to remember the event selection
values for all possible types each time you want to change one of them.
Many Xkb event types are generated under several different circumstances. When selecting
to receive an Xkb event, you may specify either that you want it delivered under all cir-
cumstances, or that you want it delivered only for a subset of the possible circumstances.
You can also deselect an event type that was previously selected for, using the same gran-
ularity.
Xkb provides two functions to select and deselect delivery of Xkb events. XkbSelectEvents
allows you to select or deselect delivery of more than one Xkb event type at once. Events
selected using XkbSelectEvents are delivered to your program under all circumstances that
generate the events. To restrict delivery of an event to a subset of the conditions under
which it occurs, use XkbSelectEventDetails. XkbSelectEventDetails only allows you to
change the selection conditions for a single event at a time, but it provides a means of
fine-tuning the conditions under which the event is delivered.
This request changes the Xkb event selection mask for the keyboard specified by
device_spec.
Each Xkb event that can be selected is represented by a bit in the bits_to_change and val-
ues_for_bits masks. Only the event selection bits specified by the bits_to_change parame-
ter are affected; any unspecified bits are left unchanged. To turn on event selection for
an event, set the bit for the event in the bits_to_change parameter and set the corre-
sponding bit in the values_for_bits parameter. To turn off event selection for an event,
set the bit for the event in the bits_to_change parameter and do not set the corresponding
bit in the values_for_bits parameter. The valid values for both of these parameters are an
inclusive bitwise OR of the masks shown in Table 1. There is no interface to return your
client's current event selection mask. Clients cannot set other clients' event selection
masks.
The X server reports the events defined by Xkb to your client application only if you have
requested them via a call to XkbSelectEvents or XkbSelectEventDetails. Specify the event
types in which you are interested in a mask.
Table 1 lists the event mask constants that can be specified with the XkbSelectEvents
request and the circumstances in which the mask should be specified.
Table 1 XkbSelectEvents Mask Constants
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event Mask Value Notification Wanted
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
XkbNewKeyboardNotifyMask (1L<<0) Keyboard geometry change
XkbMapNotifyMask (1L<<1) Keyboard mapping change
XkbStateNotifyMask (1L<<2) Keyboard state change
XkbControlsNotifyMask (1L<<3) Keyboard control change
XkbIndicatorStateNotifyMask (1L<<4) Keyboard indicator state change
XkbIndicatorMapNotifyMask (1L<<5) Keyboard indicator map change
XkbNamesNotifyMask (1L<<6) Keyboard name change
XkbCompatMapNotifyMask (1L<<7) Keyboard compat map change
XkbBellNotifyMask (1L<<8) Bell
XkbActionMessageMask (1L<<9) Action message
XkbAccessXNotifyMask (1L<<10) AccessX features
XkbExtensionDeviceNotifyMask (1L<<11) Extension device
XkbAllEventsMask (0xFFF) All Xkb events
If a bit is not set in the bits_to_change parameter, but the corresponding bit is set in
the values_for_bits parameter, a BadMatch protocol error results. If an undefined bit is
set in either the bits_to_change or the values_for_bits parameter, a BadValue protocol
error results.
All event selection bits are initially zero for clients using the Xkb extension. Once you
set some bits, they remain set for your client until you clear them via another call to
XkbSelectEvents.
XkbSelectEvents returns False if the Xkb extension has not been initilialized and True
otherwise.
RETURN VALUES
True The XkbSelectEvents function returns True if the Xkb extension has been
initilialized.
False The XkbSelectEvents function returns False if the Xkb extension has not
been initilialized.
