<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>The <function>DtPrintResetConnection</function> function
is a convenience function provided by the
<function>DtPrintSetupBox</function> widget that allows applications
to direct the widget to stop managing the X print server connection.
A <symbol role="Variable">mode</symbol> parameter is
included in order to direct the widget to close the print connection by
calling <function>XpDestroyPrintContext</function> and
<function>XCloseDisplay</function> or to simply relinquish
control of the connection without closing it.
</para>
<para><function>DtPrintResetConnection</function> is intended
to be used by applications that fork
a child process to perform the print rendering operation. Immediately
after the fork is performed, the parent process will close its X print
server connection, and retain its connection to the video X server. The
forked child on the other hand will close its video X server connection
and perform the rendering operation on the X print server connection.

<para>Indicates whether <function>DtPrintResetConnection</function>
should close the X print server
connection, or simply cause the
<function>DtPrintSetupBox</function> to cease managing the
connection.

<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term><systemitem class="constant">DtPRINT_CLOSE_CONNECTION</systemitem></term>
<listitem>
<para>Set by the parent process when the application forks a child to perform
the print rendering. This will cause the
<Symbol>DtNclosePrintDisplayCallback</Symbol>
list set for the passed <function>DtPrintSetupBox</function> to be called.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><systemitem class="constant">DtPRINT_RELEASE_CONNECTION</systemitem></term>
<listitem>
<para>Set when the application wishes to destroy the
<function>DtPrintSetupBox</function> widget
instance and still perform print rendering using the X print server
connection initiated by the widget. For example, the child process of an
application that forks to perform print rendering will close the video
display connection (thereby destroying the
<function>DtPrintSetupBox</function> widget) prior
to print rendering. No <function>DtPrintSetupBox</function>
callbacks will be called as a result of this operation.
