## NAME

**XmRepTypeGetNameList** — A representation type manager function that generates a list of values for a representation type

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <Xm/RepType.h>
String * XmRepTypeGetNameList(
XmRepTypeId rep_type_id,
Boolean use_uppercase_format);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**XmRepTypeGetNameList** generates a NULL-terminated list of the value names associated with the specified representation type. Each value name is a NULL-terminated string. This routine allocates memory for the returned data. The application must free this memory using **XtFree**.

- *rep\_type\_id*

  Specifies the identification number of the representation type.

- *use\_uppercase\_format*

  Specifies a Boolean value that controls the format of the name list. If the value is True, each value name is in uppercase characters prefixed by **Xm**; if it is False, the names are in lowercase characters.

## RETURN

Returns a pointer to an array of the value names.
