DTEDITORGETSIZEHINTS(3)

okay bestie, this is the DtEditorGetSizeHints(library call) page 💅 and we're folding that header right into the convo instead of copying it like a boring robot. It's a library call that pulls sizing info out of a DtEditor widget. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

DtEditorGetSizeHints — retrieves sizing information from a DtEditor widget. That's the whole job, and it's giving "window manager prep" energy 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the exact signature, no cap:

#include &<Dt/Editor.h>
void DtEditorGetSizeHints(
Widget widget,
XSizeHints *pHints);

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

The DtEditorGetSizeHints function retrieves the current sizing information from a DtEditor widget, allowing the application to compute appropriate size hints for the window manager ✨.

The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. Yes, that's the one 👑

The pHints argument is a pointer to an XSizeHints structure into which the current sizing information is placed. The fields in this structure do not have to contain any values when it is passed in — so don't stress about pre-filling them, bestie 🫶.

Upon successful completion, DtEditorGetSizeHints fills in the following fields of the XSizeHints structure:

• minimum width (min_width) and height (min_height)
• width (width_inc) and height (height_inc) increment
• base width (base_width) and height (base_height)

Otherwise, the structure is unchanged. The Flags field is set to:

PMinSize | PResizeInc | PBaseSize

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

The DtEditorGetSizeHints function returns no value. That's it — no return value, just vibes 💀✨

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

The following code segment sets the resize increment and minimum window size properties for the application.

Widget          editor,
                application_shell;
Display         display;
XSizeHints      size_hints;
long            supplied_return;
XGetWMSizeHints(display, XtWindow(application_shell),
                 &&size_hints, &&supplied_return, XA_WM_NORMAL_HINTS);
DtEditorGetSizeHints(editor, &&size_hints);
XSetWMSizeHints(display, XtWindow(application_shell),
                 &&size_hints, XA_WM_NORMAL_HINTS);
