Application Data Access Functions

VkApp provides the following data access functions for retrieving data useful for your application:

Function  
Description
char *name() const
Returns command name you used to invoke the application (argv[0]).
char *applicationClassName() const
Returns application class name set in the VkApp constructor. This application class name is used when loading application resources.
virtual const char *className() const
Returns class name of VkApp (or subclass) instance being used. By default, this is "VkApp". Unlike all other ViewKit ObjectPak components, the VkApp class does not use the value returned by className() when loading resources; instead, it uses the application class name that you provide as an argument to the VkApp constructor. This allows you to set the application class name without creating a subclass of VkApp.
XtAppContext appContext() const
Returns application's XtAppContext structure, is required by many OSF/Motif and Xt functions.
Display *display() const
Returns a pointer to X Display structure associated with application's X server connection.
char *shellGeometry() const
Returns a string containing the geometry of the application's base shell. You may want to use this information to size other windows in your application.
int argc() const
Returns number of items remaining in the argv array after all arguments recognized by Xt have been removed.
char **argv() const
Called without arguments, returns pointer to the argv array after all arguments recognized by Xt have been removed.
char *argv(int index) const
Called with an integer argument, returns a single argv array item (after all arguments recognized by Xt have been removed) specified by the index argument.
Boolean startupIconified() const
Called with no arguments, returns value TRUE if the application starts with all windows iconified and FALSE if it starts with all windows displayed normally.
Widget baseWidget()
For the VkApp class, baseWidget() returns the hidden shell widget.
