NAME

       XkbSetControls  -  Copies changes to the X server based on a modified ctrls structure in a
       local copy of the keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbSetControls (Display *display, unsigned long which, XkbDescPtr xkb);

ARGUMENTS

       display
              connection to X server

       which  mask of controls requested

       xkb    keyboard description for controls information

DESCRIPTION

       For each bit that is set in the which parameter, XkbSetControls  sends  the  corresponding
       values from the xkb->ctrls field to the server. Valid values for which are any combination
       of the masks listed in Table 1 that have "ok" in the which column.

       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 xkb->ctrls is NULL, the server does not support a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb
       extension has not been properly initialized, XkbSetControls returns False.  Otherwise,  it
       sends the request to the X server and returns True.

       Note  that  changes to attributes of controls in the XkbControlsRec structure are apparent
       only when the associated control is enabled, although the corresponding values  are  still
       updated  in  the  X  server.  For example, the repeat_delay and repeat_interval fields are
       ignored unless the RepeatKeys control is enabled (that is, the X  server's  equivalent  of
       xkb->ctrls  has  XkbRepeatKeyMask  set in enabled_ctrls).  It is permissible to modify the
       attributes of a control in one  call  to  XkbSetControls  and  enable  the  control  in  a
       subsequent  call.  See  XkbChangeEnabledControls  for  more  information  on  enabling and
       disabling controls.

       Note that the enabled_ctrls field is itself a control - the  EnabledControls  control.  As
       such,  to  set a specific configuration of enabled and disabled boolean controls, you must
       set enabled_ctrls to the appropriate bits to enable only the controls you want and disable
       all others, then specify the XkbControlsEnabledMask in a call to XkbSetControls.

       Because this is somewhat awkward if all you want to do is enable and disable controls, and
       not modify any of their attributes, a convenience  function  is  also  provided  for  this
       purpose, XkbChangeEnabledControls.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The XkbSetControls function returns True when it sends the request to the X
                      server.

       False          The XkbSetControls function returns False  when  xkb->ctrls  is  NULL,  the
                      server  does  not support a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension
                      has not been properly initialized.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadMatch       A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an  argument
                      has correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
