# [NAME](#NAME)

XkbSetAutoResetControls - Changes the current values of the AutoReset control attributes

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**Bool XkbSetAutoResetControls** **(Display \*dpy,** **unsigned int changes,** **unsigned int \*auto\_ctrls,** **unsigned int \*auto\_values);**

# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[*dpy*](#dpy)

connection to X server

[*changes*](#changes)

controls for which to change auto-reset values

[*auto\_ctrls*](#auto_ctrls)

controls from changes that should auto reset

[*auto\_values*](#auto_values)

1 bit => auto-reset on

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

*XkbSetAutoResetControls* changes the auto-reset status and associated auto-reset values for the controls selected by *changes.* For any control selected by *changes,* if the corresponding bit is set in *auto\_ctrls,* the control is configured to auto-reset when the client exits. If the corresponding bit in *auto\_values* is on, the control is turned on when the client exits; if zero, the control is turned off when the client exits. For any control selected by *changes,* if the corresponding bit is not set in *auto\_ctrls,* the control is configured to not reset when the client exits.

For example:

```
To leave the auto-reset controls for StickyKeys the way they are:
	ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, 0, 0, 0);
To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are unaffected when the
client exits:
	ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0, 0);
To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned off when the
client exits:
	ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0);
To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned on when the
client exits:
	ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask,
XkbStickyKeysMask);
```

*XkbSetAutoResetControls* backfills *auto\_ctrls* and *auto\_values* with the auto-reset controls for this particular client. Note that all of the bits are valid in the returned values, not just the ones selected in the *changes* mask.
