XKB FUNCTIONS                                XkbActionCtrls(3x11)



NAME
     XkbActionCtrls - Returns the ctrls fields of  act  converted
     to an unsigned int

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     unsigned int XkbActionCtrls (XkbCtrlsAction act);

ARGUMENTS
     - act
          action from which to extract controls

DESCRIPTION
     Actions associated with the XkbCtrlsAction structure  change
     the state of the boolean controls.

     The type field can have any one of the values shown in Table
     1.

     _____________________________________________________________
     Type                 Effect
     _____________________________________________________________
     XkbSA_SetControls    A key press enables any boolean controls
                          specified  in the ctrls fields that were
                          not already enabled at the time  of  the
                          key  press.   A key release disables any
                          controls enabled by the key press.  This
                          action   can   cause   XkbControlsNotify
                          events.
     XkbSA_LockControls   If the XkbSA_LockNoLock bit is  not  set
                          in  the flags field, a key press enables
                          any  controls  specified  in  the  ctrls
                          fields  that were not already enabled at
                          the time of the key press.
                          If the XkbSA_LockNoUnlock bit is not set
                          in  the  flags field, a key release dis-
                          ables  any  controls  specified  in  the
                          ctrls  fields that were not already dis-
                          abled at the time of the key press.
                          This action can cause  XkbControlsNotify
                          events.

     The flags field is composed of the bitwise inclusive  OR  of
     the masks shown in Table 2.

XKB FUNCTIONS                                XkbActionCtrls(3x11)



     XkbSA_LockNoLock     If  set,  and   the   action   type   is
                          XkbSA_LockControls, the server only dis-
                          ables controls.
     XkbSA_LockNoUnlock   If  set,  and   the   action   type   is
                          XkbSA_LockControls,   the   server  only
                          enables controls.

     The XkbSA_SetControls action implements a key that enables a
     boolean  control when pressed and disables it when released.
     The XkbSA_LockControls action is used  to  implement  a  key
     that  toggles the state of a boolean control each time it is
     pressed   and    released.    The    XkbSA_LockNoLock    and
     XkbSA_LockNoUnlock   flags   allow  modifying  the  toggling
     behavior to only unlock or only lock the boolean control.

     The ctrls0, ctrls1, ctrls2, and ctrls3 fields represent  the
     boolean  controls in the enabled_ctrls field of the controls
     structure. Xkb macros, to convert between the two formats.

     XkbActionCtrls returns the ctrls fields of act converted  to
     an unsigned int.
