NAME

       XkbChangeControls  -  Provides  a flexible method for updating the controls in a server to
       match those in the changed keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbChangeControls (Display *dpy, XkbDescPtr xkb, XkbControlsChangesPtr changes);

ARGUMENTS

       dpy    connection to X server

       xkb    keyboard description with changed xkb->ctrls

       changes
              which parts of xkb->ctrls have changed

DESCRIPTION

       The XkbControlsChangesRec structure allows  applications  to  track  modifications  to  an
       XkbControlsRec  structure and thereby reduce the amount of traffic sent to the server. The
       same XkbControlsChangesRec structure may be used in several  successive  modifications  to
       the same XkbControlsRec structure, then subsequently used to cause all of the changes, and
       only the changes, to be propagated to the server.

       The changed_ctrls field is a mask specifying which logical sets of data  in  the  controls
       structure  have been modified. In this context, modified means set, that is, if a value is
       set to the same value it previously contained, it has still been modified, and is noted as
       changed. Valid values for changed_ctrls are any combination of the masks listed in Table 1
       that have "ok" in the changed_ctrls column. Setting a bit implies the  corresponding  data
       fields  from  the  "Relevant  XkbControlsRec  Data  Fields"  column  in  Table 1 have been
       modified. The enabled_ctrls_changes field specifies which bits in the enabled_ctrls  field
       have  changed.  If the number of keyboard groups has changed, the num_groups_changed field
       is set to True.

       Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select  controls  for
       modification and to enable and disable the control. Note that the same mask bit is used to
       specify general modifications to the parameters used to configure the control (which), and
       to  enable and disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no "ok" in
       column) are for controls that have no configurable attributes; and for controls  that  are
       not boolean controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

       If   you   have  an  Xkb  description  with  controls  that  have  been  modified  and  an
       XkbControlsChangesRec  that   describes   the   changes   that   have   been   made,   the
       XkbChangeControls  function  provides  a  flexible  method  for updating the controls in a
       server to match those in the changed keyboard description.

       XkbChangeControls copies any controls  fields  specified  by  changes  from  the  keyboard
       description controls structure, xkb->ctrls, to the server specified by dpy.

STRUCTURES

       The XkbControlsChangesRec structure is defined as follows:

       typedef struct _XkbControlsChanges {
           unsigned int  changed_ctrls;         /* bits indicating changed control data */
           unsigned int  enabled_ctrls_changes; /* bits indicating enabled/disabled controls */
           Bool          num_groups_changed;    /* True if number of keyboard groups changed */
       } XkbControlsChangesRec,*XkbControlsChangesPtr;
