XDeviceControl *XGetDeviceControl( Display *display,
19
int XChangeDeviceControl( Display *display,
22
XDeviceControl *control);
25
Specifies the connection to the X server.
28
Specifies the device whose control is to be interrogated
32
Specifies the type of control to be interrogated or
36
Specifies the address of an XDeviceControl structure
37
that contains the new values for the Device.
42
These requests are provided to manipulate those input devices
43
that support device control. A BadMatch error will be generated
44
if the requested device does not support any device controls.
46
Valid device control types that can be used with these requests
47
include the following:
49
DEVICE_RESOLUTION Queries or changes the resolution of
50
valuators on input devices.
52
The XGetDeviceControl request returns a pointer to an
53
XDeviceControl structure.
55
XGetDeviceControl can generate a BadDevice or BadMatch error.
57
The XChangeDeviceControl request modifies the values of one
58
control on the specified device. The control is identified by
59
the id field of the XDeviceControl structure that is passed
62
XChangeDeviceControl can generate a BadDevice, BadMatch, or
63
BadValue error..SH STRUCTURES Each control is described by a
64
structure specific to that control. These structures are
65
defined in the file XInput.h.
67
XDeviceControl is a generic structure that contains two fields
68
that are at the beginning of each class of control:
75
The XDeviceResolutionState structure defines the information
76
that is returned for device resolution for devices with
86
} XDeviceResolutionState;
88
The XDeviceResolutionControl structure defines the attributes
89
that can be controlled for keyboard Devices.
97
} XDeviceResolutionControl;
103
An invalid device was specified. The specified device
104
does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
105
XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if some
106
other client has caused the specified device to become
107
the X keyboard or X pointer device via the
108
XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests.
111
This error may occur if an XGetDeviceControl request was
112
made specifying a device that has no controls or an
113
XChangeDeviceControl request was made with an
114
XDeviceControl structure that contains an invalid Device
115
type. It may also occur if an invalid combination of
116
mask bits is specified ( DvKey but no DvAutoRepeatMode
117
for keyboard Devices), or if an invalid KeySym is
118
specified for a string Device.
121
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
122
accepted by the XChangeDeviceControl request. Unless a
123
specific range is specified for an argument, the full
124
range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any
125
argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate
