       Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler(proc)

       Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler(proc)

ARGUMENTS

       Tk_ClientMessageProc            *proc(in) Procedure to invoke whenever a ClientMessage X event occurs  on

DESCRIPTION

       Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler  arranges  for  proc to be invoked in the future whenever a ClientMessage X
       event occurs that isn't handled by WM_PROTOCOL.  Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler is  intended  for  use  by
       applications which need to watch X ClientMessage events, such as drag and drop applications.

       The  callback to proc will be made by Tk_HandleEvent; this mechanism only works in programs that dispatch
       events through Tk_HandleEvent  (or  through  other  Tk  procedures  that  call  Tk_HandleEvent,  such  as
       Tk_DoOneEvent or Tk_MainLoop).

       Proc should have arguments and result that match the type Tk_ClientMessageProc:
              typedef int Tk_ClientMessageProc(
                Tk_Window tkwin,
                XEvent *eventPtr);
       The  tkwin parameter to proc is the Tk window which is associated with this event.  EventPtr is a pointer
       to the X event.

       Whenever an X ClientMessage event is processed by Tk_HandleEvent, the proc is called if it wasn't handled
       as a WM_PROTOCOL.  The return value from proc is normally 0.  A non-zero return value indicates that  the
       event  is  not to be handled further; that is, proc has done all processing that is to be allowed for the
       event.

       If there are multiple ClientMessage event handlers, each one is called for each event, in  the  order  in
       which they were established.

       Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler  may  be called to delete a previously-created ClientMessage event handler:
       it deletes each handler it finds that matches the  proc  argument.   If  no  such  handler  exists,  then
       Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler  returns  without doing anything.  Although Tk supports it, it's probably a
       bad idea to have more than one callback with the same proc argument.
