XtQueryGeometry(3Xt)

NAME
       XtQueryGeometry - query the preferred geometry of a child
       widget

SYNTAX
       XtGeometryResult XtQueryGeometry(w, intended, pre-
       ferred_return)
            Widget w;
            XtWidgetGeometry *intended, *preferred_return;

ARGUMENTS
       intended  Specifies any changes the parent plans to make
                 to the child's geometry or NULL.

       preferred_return
                 Returns the child widget's preferred geometry.

       w         Specifies the widget.

DESCRIPTION
       To discover a child's preferred geometry, the child's par-
       ent sets any changes that it intends to make to the
       child's geometry in the corresponding fields of the
       intended structure, sets the corresponding bits in
       intended.request_mode, and calls XtQueryGeometry.

       XtQueryGeometry clears all bits in the pre-
       ferred_return->request_mode and checks the query_geometry
       field of the specified widget's class record.  If
       query_geometry is not NULL, XtQueryGeometry calls the
       query_geometry procedure and passes as arguments the spec-
       ified widget, intended, and preferred_return structures.
       If the intended argument is NULL, XtQueryGeometry replaces
       it with a pointer to an XtWidgetGeometry structure with
       request_mode=0 before calling query_geometry.
