Loading an X11 Window System Profile

In the next example, the framework loads a profile associated with a particular X11 Window System visual. The KcsXWindow object converts the display, visual, and screen information into a profile loaded into the KCMS framework. Example 3-3 is a KCMS "C" API code excerpt that shows this.


Example 3-3 Loading an X11 Window System Profile

if ((dpy =

XOpenDisplay(hostname)) == NULL) { 	fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open

the X display \n"); 	exit(1); }  profileDesc.type = KcsWindowProfile;

profileDesc.desc.xwin.dpy = dpy; profileDesc.desc.xwin.visual =

DefaultVisual(dpy,  			DefaultScreen(dpy)); profileDesc.desc.xwin.screen =

DefaultScreen(dpy);  status = KcsLoadProfile(&profile, &profileDesc, 

			KcsLoadAttributesNow); if (status != KCS_SUCCESS) { 	status =

KcsGetLastError(&errDesc); 	fprintf(stderr,"KcsLoadProfile failed

error = %s\n",  			errDesc.desc); 	exit(1); }

The only difference between this example and Example 3-2 , is the type of KcsIO class loaded. That example showed how to load a KcsSolarisFile object rather than a KcsXWindow object.
