XtAddTimeOut()XtAddTimeOut()NameXtAddTimeOut - register a procedure to be called when a specified time
elapses.
Synopsis
XtIntervalId XtAddTimeOut(interval, proc, client_data)
unsigned long interval;
XtTimerCallbackProc proc;
XtPointer client_data;
Inputs
interval Specifies the time interval in milliseconds.
proc Specifies the procedure to be called when the time expires.
client_data
Specifies data to be passed to proc when it is called.
Returns
A handle of type XtIntervalId that can be used to unregister the time‐
out procedure with XtRemoveTimeOut().
Availability
Superseded by XtAppAddTimeOut().
DescriptionXtAddTimeOut() registers a procedure proc, to be called by XtAppNex‐
tEvent() with client_data after interval milliseconds elapse. The pro‐
cedure is called once and automatically unregistered; it will not be
called repeatedly every interval milliseconds.
UsageXtAddTimeOut() has been superseded by XtAppAddTimeOut(), which performs
the same function on a per-application context basis. XtAddTimeOut()
now calls XtAppAddTimeOut() passing the default application context
created by XtInitialize(). Very few programs need multiple application
contexts, and you can continue to use XtAddTimeOut() if you initialize
your application with XtInitialize(). We recommend, however, that you
use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppAddTimeOut(), and the other XtApp*() appli‐
cation context specific functions.
