... (list)

Depending on the value of data_format, data takes one of three different kinds of values:

+-------------------+-----------------------+
|    data_format    |         data          |
+-------------------+-----------------------+
| Gtk2::Gdk::CHARS  | a string of length 20 |
| Gtk2::Gdk::SHORTS | a list of ten shorts  |
| Gtk2::Gdk::LONGS  | a list of five longs  |
+-------------------+-----------------------+

unsigned = $eventclient->data_format ($newvalue=0)

•

$newvalue (unsigned)

This should be set to either $Gtk2::Gdk::CHARS, $Gtk2::Gdk::SHORTS, or $Gtk2::Gdk::LONGS. See data for a full explanation.

atom = $eventclient->message_type ($newvalue=0)

$newvalue (Gtk2::Gdk::Atom)
