 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      MrmRegisterNames - Registers the values associated with the names
      referenced in UIL (for example, UIL callback function names or UIL
      identifier names)

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
      Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(
      MrmRegisterArglist register_list,
      MrmCount register_count);

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The MrmRegisterNames function registers a vector of names and
      associated values for access in MRM.  The values can be callback
      functions, pointers to user-defined data, or any other values.  The
      information provided is used to resolve symbolic references occurring
      in UID files to their run-time values.  For callbacks, this
      information provides the procedure address required by the Motif
      Toolkit.  For names used as identifiers in UIL, this information
      provides any run-time mapping the application needs.

      This function is similar to MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy, except that
      the scope of the names registered by MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy is
      limited to the hierarchy specified in the call to that function,
      whereas the names registered by MrmRegisterNames have global scope.
      When MRM looks up a name, it first tries to find the name among those
      registered for the given hierarchy.  If that lookup fails, it tries to
      find the name among those registered globally.

      register_list
                Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names to be
                registered.  Each name is a case-sensitive, NULL-terminated
                ASCII string.  Each value is a 32-bit quantity, interpreted
                as a procedure address if the name is a callback function,
                and uninterpreted otherwise.

      register_count
                Specifies the number of entries in register_list.

      The names in the list are case-sensitive.  The list can be either
      ordered or unordered.

      Callback functions registered through MrmRegisterNames can be either
      regular or creation callbacks.  Regular callbacks have declarations
      determined by Motif Toolkit and user requirements.  Creation callbacks
      have the same format as any other callback:

      void CallBackProc(
      Widget *widget_id,
      Opaque tag,
      XmAnyCallbackStruct *callback_data);

      widget_id Specifies the widget ID associated with the widget
                performing the callback (as in any callback function).

      tag       Specifies the tag value (as in any callback function).

      callback_data
                Specifies a widget-specific data structure.  This data
                structure has a minimum of two members: event and reason.
                The reason member is always set to MrmCR_CREATE.

      Note that the widget name and parent are available from the widget
      record accessible through widget_id.

 RETURN    [Toc]    [Back]
      This function returns one of the following status return constants:

      MrmSUCCESS    [Toc]    [Back]
                The function executed successfully.

      MrmFAILURE    [Toc]    [Back]
                The function failed.
