DescriptionXtUngrabButton() cancels a passive grab of the specified button/modi‐
fiers combination. If w is realized, XtUngrabButton() calls XUngrab‐
Button() specifying the widget's window as the ungrab window, and pass‐
ing the remaining arguments unmodified. If the widget is not realized,
XtUngrabButton() removes the deferred XtGrabButton() request, if any,
for the specified widget, button, and modifiers.
The button argument is one of Button1, Button2, Button3, Button4, But‐
ton5, or the constant AnyButton, which is equivalent to issuing the
ungrab request for all possible buttons.
The modifiers argument is a bitwise OR of one or more of the following
symbols: ShiftMask, LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask,
Mod3Mask, Mod4Mask, Mod5Mask. The special value AnyModifier is also
allowed; using it is equivalent to issuing the ungrab button request
for all possible modifier combinations (including no modifiers).
XtUngrabButton() has no effect on an active grab.
See XtGrabButton() for more information on passive button grabs.
Usage
You should rarely need to use passive button grabs. An automatic grab
takes place between a ButtonPress event and the corresponding ButtonRe‐
lease event, so an explicit grab is not necessary in some of the most
common situations. It may be necessary for some styles of menus, how‐
ever.
Note that XtAddGrab() and spring-loaded popups can be used in place of
passive grabs in many circumstances. These do not actually issue any X
server grabs.
Structures
The Modifiers type is defined as follows:
typedef unsigned int Modifiers;
