ARGUMENTS

                 Specifies the event type.

                 Specifies data used to select or deselect events from the server.

       client_data
                 Specifies additional data to be passed to the event handler.

       position  Specifies  when  the  event  handler  is  to  be called relative to other previously registered
                 handlers.

       display   Specifies the display.

       min_event_type, max_event_type
                 Specifies the range of event types for this extension.

       event     Specifies a pointer to the event to be dispatched.

DESCRIPTION

       The XtInsertEventTypeHandler function registers a procedure with the dispatch mechanism  that  is  to  be
       called when an event that matches the specified event_type is dispatched to the specified widget.

       If  event_type is one of the core X protocol events then select_data must be a pointer to a value of type
       EventMask, indicating the event mask to be used to select for the desired event.  This event mask will be
       included in the value returned by XtBuildEventMask.  If the widget is  realized  XtInsertEventTypeHandler
       calls  XSelectInput  if necessary.  Specifying NULL for select_data is equivalent to specifying a pointer
       to an event mask containing 0.  This is similar to the XtInsertRawEventHandler function.

       If event_type specifies an extension event type then the semantics of the data pointed to by  select_data
       are defined by the extension selector registered for the specified event type.

       In  either case the Intrinsics are not required to copy the data pointed to by select_data, so the caller
       must ensure that it remains valid as long as the event handler remains  registered  with  this  value  of
       select_data.

       The  position  argument  allows  the  client  to  control  the  order of the invocation of event handlers
       registered for the same event type.  If the client does not care about  the  order,  it  should  normally
       specify  XtListTail, which registers this event handler after any previously registered handlers for this
       event type.

       The    XtRemoveEventTypeHandler    function    unregisters    an    even    handler    registered    with
       XtInsertEventTypeHandler  for  the  specified event type.  The request is ignored if client_data does not
       match the value given with the handler was registered.

       If event_type specifies on of the core X protocol events, select_data must be a pointer  to  a  value  of
       type  EventMask,  indicating the mask to be used to deselect for the appropriate event.  If the widget is
       realized, XtRemoveEventTypeHandler calls XSelectInput if necessary.  Specifying NULL for  select_data  is
       equivalent   to  specifying  a  pointer  to  an  event  mask  containing  0.   This  is  similar  to  the
       XtRemoveRawEventHandler function.

       If event_type specifies an extension event type then the semantics of the data pointed to by  select_data
       are defined by the extension selector registered for the specified event type.

       The  XtRegisterExtensionSelector  function registers a procedure to arrange for the delivery of extension
       events to widgets.

       If   min_event_type   and   max_event_type   match   the   parameters   to    a    previous    call    to
       XtRegisterExtensionSelector  for  the  same  display,  the  proc  and  client_data replace the previously
       registered values.  If the range specified by min_event_type and max_event_type overlaps the range of the
       parameters to a previous call for the same display in any other way, an error results.

       The XtSetEventDispatcher function registers the event dispatcher procedure specified by proc  for  events
       with the type event_type. The previously registered dispatcher (or the default dispatcher if there was no
       previously  registered  dispatcher)  is returned.  If proc is NULL, the default procedure is restored for
       the specified type.

       In the future, when XtDispatchEvent is called with an event of event_type, the  specified  proc  (or  the
       default dispatcher) will be invoked to determine a widget ot which to dispatch the event.

       The XtDispatchEventToWidget function scans the list of registered event handlers for the specified widget
       and  calls  each  handler  that  has  been  registered  for  the  specified  event  type,  subject to the
       continue_to_dispatch value returned by each handler.  The Intrinsics behave as  if  event  handlers  were
       registered  at  the head of the list for Expose, NoExpose, GraphicsExpose, and VisibilityNotify events to
       invoke the widget's expose procedure according to the  exposure  compression  rules  and  to  update  the
       widget's   visible  field  if  visible_interest  is  True.   These  internal  event  handlers  never  set
       continue_to_dispatch to False.

       XtDispatchEventToWidget returns True if any event handler was called and False otherwise.
