XtSetSensitive, XtIsSensitive - set
and check a widget's sensitivity state 
- void XtSetSensitive(Widget
w, Boolean sensitive);  
- Boolean XtIsSensitive(Widget w);  
- sensitive
- Specifies
a Boolean value that indicates whether the widget should receive  keyboard
and pointer events. 
- w
- Specifies the widget. 
The XtSetSensitive
  function first calls XtSetValues   on the current widget with an argument
list specifying that the sensitive field should change to the new value.
It then recursively propagates the new value down the managed children
tree by calling XtSetValues   on each child to set the ancestor_sensitive
to the new value if the new values for sensitive and the child's ancestor_sensitive
are not the same.
XtSetSensitive   calls XtSetValues   to change sensitive
and ancestor_sensitive. Therefore, when one of these changes, the widget's
set_values procedure should take whatever display actions are needed (for
example, greying out or stippling the widget). 
XtSetSensitive   maintains
the invariant that if parent has either sensitive  or ancestor_sensitive
 False,   then all children have ancestor_sensitive  False.   
The XtIsSensitive
  function returns  True   or  False   to indicate whether or not user
input events are being dispatched. If both core.sensitive and core.ancestor_sensitive
are  True,   XtIsSensitive   returns  True;   otherwise, it returns  False.
