.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous
releases\&. It is replaced by \fBXmStringGetNextTriple\fP\&.
\fBXmStringGetNextComponent\fP
returns the type and value of the next component in
the compound string identified by \fIcontext\fP\&.
Components are returned one at a time\&. On return, only
some output parameters will be valid; which ones can be determined by
examining the returned component type\&.
The following table describes the valid returns for each component
type\&.

Note that several components produce a return value of
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN\fP\&. The data returned by these
components is returned in the \fIunknown_tag\fP, \fIunknown_length\fP,
and \fIunknown_value\fP fields\&. This apparent inconsistency is
designed to accommodate older applications that may not be equipped to
handle the newer component types of Motif version 2\&.0 and beyond\&.
Consequently, the use of this procedure is not recommended\&. Instead,
use the \fBXmStringGetNextTriple\fP procedure, which provides all the
functionality of \fBXmStringGetNextComponent\fP, and is fully
compatible with the newer component types\&.
.PP
If the function return value is \fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE_TEXT\fP or
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_TEXT\fP, the the function allocates space to hold
the returned \fItext\fP\&.
If the function return value is \fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG\fP,
or \fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG\fP, then the function allocates space to hold
the returned \fItag\fP\&.
The application is responsible for managing the allocated space\&.
The application can recover the allocated space by calling \fBXtFree\fP\&.
.IP "\fIcontext\fP" 10
Specifies the string context structure that was allocated by the
\fBXmStringInitContext\fP function\&.
.IP "\fItext\fP" 10
Specifies a pointer to a NULL terminated string\&.
.IP "\fItag\fP" 10
Specifies a pointer to the tag component associated with the
text\&. The value \fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG\fP identifies a locale
text segment\&.
.IP "\fIdirection\fP" 10
Specifies a pointer to the direction of the text\&.
.IP "\fIunknown_tag\fP" 10
Specifies a pointer to the tag of an unknown component\&.
.IP "\fIunknown_length\fP" 10
Specifies a pointer to the length of an unknown component\&.
.IP "\fIunknown_value\fP" 10
Specifies a pointer to the value of an unknown component\&.
.SH "RETURN"
.PP
Returns the type of component found\&.
