NAME

       XSelectionEvent - SelectionNotify event structure

STRUCTURES

       The structure for SelectionNotify events contains:

       typedef struct {
               int type;       /* SelectionNotify */
               unsigned long serial;   /* # of last request processed by server */
               Bool send_event;        /* true if this came from a SendEvent request */
               Display *display;       /* Display the event was read from */
               Window requestor;
               Atom selection;
               Atom target;
               Atom property;  /* atom or None */
               Time time;
       } XSelectionEvent;

       When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.

       The  type  member  is set to the event type constant name that uniquely identifies it.  For example, when
       the X server reports a GraphicsExpose event to a client application,  it  sends  an  XGraphicsExposeEvent
       structure  with  the  type  member  set to GraphicsExpose.  The display member is set to a pointer to the
       display the event was read on.  The send_event member is set to True if the event came from  a  SendEvent
       protocol  request.  The serial member is set from the serial number reported in the protocol but expanded
       from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a full 32-bit value.  The window member is set  to  the  window
       that is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.

       The  requestor member is set to the window associated with the requestor of the selection.  The selection
       member is set to the atom that indicates the selection.  For example, PRIMARY is  used  for  the  primary
       selection.   The target member is set to the atom that indicates the converted type.  For example, PIXMAP
       is used for a pixmap.  The property member is set to the atom that indicates which  property  the  result
       was  stored on.  If the conversion failed, the property member is set to None.  The time member is set to
       the time the conversion took place and can be a timestamp or CurrentTime.
