The fetch function is called by Builder Xcessory when it wants to obtain the current value displayed in the resource type editor. The fetch function does what is necessary to convert the value currently being displayed to a string representation, and returns that value to Builder Xcessory. You can convert the returned string to the proper resource type by using the Xt resource conversion mechanism.
