Translation Context Variables

The Xt Intrinsics provides for event translations to be registered for a widget. Context for event translation is provided in the same way it is provided for event handlers. The two variables defined for translation commands are:

TRANSLATION_WIDGET

Set to the widget handle for the widget for which the translation is registered.

TRANSLATION_EVENT

Set to the address of the XEvent that triggered the translation.

Dot-notation provides access to the fields of the event:

echo "Event type = "${TRANSLATION_EVENT.TYPE} 
echo "Display ="${TRANSLATION_EVENT.XANY.DISPLAY}
