XkbSetControls(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS		     XkbSetControls(3)



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, which, xkb )

	     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.

       XkbAccessXOptionsMask	ok		ok	  (XkbStickyKeysMask |
							  XkbAccessXFeedbackMask)

       XkbAllBooleanCtrlsMask			ok	  (0x00001FFF)

       XkbAllControlsMask	ok			  (0xF8001FFF)

       If xkb->ctrls is NULL, the server does not support a compatible version
       of Xkb, or the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, XkbSet-
       Controls 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 EnabledCon-
       trols  control. As such, to set a specific configuration of enabled and
       disabled boolean controls, you must set enabled_ctrls to the  appropri-
       ate  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  com-
		      patible  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
