.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This procedure is called by an application to gain
control of the selection.  From now on, until the next call to
Sx_SelectionSet or Sx_SelectionClear, any calls to Sx_SelectionGet
will be passed through to \fIfetchProc\fP, which must have the
following structure:
.nf
.sp .5
.RS
int
fetchProc(\fIclientData, desiredFormat, firstByte, numBytes, valuePtr,
	formatPtr\fP)
.RS
ClientData \fIclientData\fP;
char *\fIdesiredFormat\fP;
int \fIfirstByte\fP;
int \fInumBytes\fP;
char *\fIvaluePtr\fP;
char *\fIformatPtr\fP;
.RE
{
}
.RE
.sp .5
.fi
All of the parameters are identical in type and meaning to the parameters
to Sx_SelectionGet, except for \fIclientData\fP, which is a copy of
the \fIclientData\fP parameter passed to Sx_SelectionSet.  \fIClientData\fP
is typically a pointer to a data structure that helps \fIfetchProc\fP to
location the selection information.  See the documentation for
Sx_SelectionGet for details on what \fIfetchProc\fP must do.  \fIFetchProc\fP
must return either \-1 or a count of the number of bytes stored at
\fI*valuePtr\fP.
.PP
The next time that Sx_SelectionSet or Sx_SelectionClear is called,
\fIchangeProc\fP will be called to notify the previous owner that
it has lost control of the selection.
\fIChangeProc\fP should have the following structure:
.RS
.sp .5
.nf
void
changeProc(\fIclientData\fP)
.RS
ClientData \fIclientData\fP;
.RE
{
}
.RE
.sp .5
.fi
Once again, \fIclientData\fP is a copy of the \fIclientData\fP value
passed to Sx_SelectionSet.  Typically, \fIchangeProc\fP will unhighlight
the selection on the display and take any other clean-up actions
required by its application.
