.SH NAME
XtAppGetSelectionTimeout, XtAppSetSelectionTimeout \- set and obtain selection timeout values
.SH SYNTAX
unsigned long XtAppGetSelectionTimeout(\fIapp_context\fP)
.br
     XtAppContext \fIapp_context\fP;
.LP
void XtAppSetSelectionTimeout(\fIapp_context\fP, \fItimeout\fP)
.br
    XtAppContext \fIapp_context\fP;
.br
    unsigned long \fItimeout\fP;
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIapp_context\fP 1i
Specifies the application context.
.IP \fItimeout\fP 1i
Specifies the selection timeout in milliseconds.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.ZN XtAppGetSelectionTimeout
function returns the current selection timeout value, in milliseconds.
The selection timeout is the time within which the two communicating 
applications must respond to one another.
The initial timeout value is set by the 
.ZN selectionTimeout
application resource, or, if
.ZN selectionTimeout
is not specified,
it defaults to five seconds.
.LP
The
.ZN XtAppSetSelectionTimeout
function sets the \*(xI's selection timeout mechanism.
Note that most applications should not set the selection timeout.
