XMCONTAINERCOPY(3)

💖 NAME 💖

XmContainerCopy — the Container widget function that copies your primary selection straight to the clipboard, bestie. It's giving "select, copy, slay."

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Container.h>
Boolean XmContainerCopy(
Widget container,
Time timestamp);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. XmContainerCopy takes the container items you've got primary-selected and copies them over to the clipboard. iconic behavior, honestly.

To pull that off, this routine calls your XmNconvertCallback procedures — and heads up, it might call them multiple times, so don't be weird about it 💅. Each time, the selection member of the XmConvertCallbackStruct is set to CLIPBOARD, and the parm member is set to XmCOPY. That's the whole vibe.

• container — Specifies the Container widget ID. yeah, the actual widget, give it the real one 🫶
• timestamp — Specifies the server time at which to modify the selection value. server time, not your local clock, okay? 😭

🌈 RETURN 🌈

This function returns False in these cases, and not in a cute way:

• if the primary selection is NULL 💀
• if the widget does not own the primary selection
• if the function is unable to gain ownership of the clipboard selection

Otherwise? It returns True. and that's the win, periodt 👑
