SMG$LIST_PASTEBOARD_ORDER
The Return Pasting Information routine returns the pasteboard
identifier of the pasteboard to which the specified virtual display is
pasted. Optionally, the pasteboard row 1 and column 1 (origins) of the
virtual display are also returned.
Format
SMG$LIST_PASTEBOARD_ORDER display-id ,context ,pasteboard-id
[,pasteboard-row] [,pasteboard-column]
RETURNS
| OpenVMS usage: |

Arguments
display-id
| OpenVMS usage: |
identifier |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |

Context to search. The context argument is the address
of an unsigned longword containing this context. On the initial call,
you should set context to zero.
SMG$LIST_PASTEBOARD_ORDER updates the value of
context. The updated value should then be passed on
the subsequent calls to obtain the next pasted display identifier.
pasteboard-id
| OpenVMS usage: |
identifier |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |
write only |
| mechanism: |

Receives the identifier of the pasteboard on which the virtual display
is pasted. The pasteboard-id argument is the address
of an unsigned longword containing the identifier of this pasteboard.
pasteboard-row
| OpenVMS usage: |
longword_signed |
| type: |
longword (signed) |
| access: |
write only |
| mechanism: |
by reference |
Row of the pasteboard that contains row 1 of the specified virtual
display. The optional pasteboard-row argument is the
address of a signed longword containing the number of the pasteboard
row that contains the first row of the virtual display.
pasteboard-column
| OpenVMS usage: |
longword_signed |
| type: |
longword (signed) |
| access: |
write only |
| mechanism: |
by reference |
Column of the pasteboard that contains column 1 of the specified

Description
SMG$LIST_PASTEBOARD_ORDER returns the pasteboard identifier of the
pasteboard to which the specified virtual display is pasted.
Optionally, the pasteboard row 1 and column 1 (origins) of the virtual
displays are also returned.
SMG$LIST_PASTEBOARD_ORDER returns the identifier of the first (or
bottom-most) pasteboard to which the specified virtual display is
pasted. Call this routine in a loop, once for each succeeding
pasteboard, until SMG$_NOPASTED is returned.
This routine is useful if, for example, you pasted a display to many
pasteboards and you no longer know the pasteboard identifier of a
pasteboard critical to your application.
