XkbChangeEnabledControls(3)

NAME
XkbChangeEnabledControls - Manipulates the EnabledControls control

SYNOPSIS

Bool XkbChangeEnabledControls (Display *dpy, unsigned int device_spec, unsigned int mask, unsigned int values);

ARGUMENTS

- dpy
    connection to X server

- device_spec
     keyboard device to modify

- mask
    1 bit -> controls to enable / disable

- values
    1 bit => enable, 0 bit => disable

DESCRIPTION

The EnabledControls control is a bit mask where each bit that is turned on means the corresponding control is enabled, and when turned off, disabled. It corresponds to the enabled_ctrls field of an XkbControlsRec structure (see STRUCTURES). The bits describing which controls are turned on or off are defined in Table 1. 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.

The mask parameter specifies the boolean controls to be enabled or disabled, and the values mask specifies the new state for those controls. Valid values for both of these masks are composed of a bitwise inclusive OR of bits taken from the set of mask bits in Table 1, using only those masks with "ok" in the enabled_ctrls column. If the X server does not support a compatible version of Xkb or the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, XkbChangeEnabledControls returns False; otherwise, it sends the request to the X server and returns True. Note that the EnabledControls control only enables and disables controls; it does not configure them. Some controls, such as the AudibleBell control, have no configuration attributes and are therefore manipulated solely by enabling and disabling them. Others, however, have additional attributes to configure their behavior. For example, the RepeatControl control uses repeat_delay and repeat_interval fields to describe the timing behavior of keys that repeat. The RepeatControl behavior is turned on or off depending on the value of the XkbRepeatKeysMask bit, but you must use other means, as described in this chapter, to configure its behavior in detail.

RETURN VALUES

True
    The X server supports a compatible version of Xkb.

False
    The X server does not support a compatible version of Xkb or the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized.
