XmRepTypeAddReverse — A representation type manager function that installs the reverse converter for a previously registered representation type "XmRepTypeAddReverse" "representation type manager functions" "XmRepTypeAddReverse"
#include <Xm/RepType.h> void XmRepTypeAddReverse( XmRepTypeId rep_type_id);
XmRepTypeAddReverse installs the reverse converter for a previously registered representation type. The reverse converter takes a numerical representation type value and returns its corresponding string value. Certain applications may require this capability to obtain a string value to display on a screen or to build a resource file.
The values argument of the XmRepTypeRegister function can be used to register representation types with nonconsecutive values or with duplicate names for the same value. If the list of numerical values for a representation type contains duplicate values, the reverse converter uses the first name in the value_names list that matches the specified numeric value. For example, if a value_names array has cancel, proceed, and abort, and the corresponding values array contains 0, 1, and 0, the reverse converter will return cancel instead of abort for an input value of 0.
