.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.ZN XtAddEventHandler
function registers a procedure with the dispatch mechanism that is
to be called when an event that matches the mask occurs on the specified
widget.
If the procedure is already registered with the same client_data,
the specified mask is ORed into the existing mask.
If the widget is realized,
.ZN XtAddEventHandler
calls
.ZN XSelectInput ,
if necessary.
.LP
The
.ZN XtAddRawEventHandler
function is similar to
.ZN XtAddEventHandler
except that it does not affect the widget's mask and never causes an
.ZN XSelectInput
for its events.
Note that the widget might already have those mask bits set
because of other nonraw event handlers registered on it.
.LP
The
.ZN XtRemoveRawEventHandler
function stops the specified procedure from receiving the specified events.
Because the procedure is a raw event handler,
this does not affect the widget's mask and never causes a call on
.ZN XSelectInput .
.LP
.ZN XtInsertEventHandler
is identical to
.ZN XtAddEventHandler
with the additional \fIposition\fP argument. if \fIposition\fP is
.ZN XtListHead ,
the event handler is registered to that it will be called before
any event handlers that were previously registered for the same widget.
If \fIposition\fP is
.ZN XtListTail ,
the event handler is registered to be called after any previously
registered event handlers. If the procedure is already registered with
the same \fIclient_data\fP value, the specified mask augments the
existing mask and the procedure is repositioned in the list.
.LP
.ZN XtInsertRawEventHandler
is similar to
.ZN XtInsertEventHandler
except that it does not modify the widget's event mask and never causes an
.ZN XSelectInput
for the specified events. If the procedure is already registered with the
same \fIclient_data\fP value, the specified mask augments the existing
mask and the procedure is repositioned in the list.
