XmTextReplace(Xm)

Syntax

#include <Xm/Text.h>

void XmTextReplace (widget, from_pos, to_pos, value)
Widget widget;
XmTextPosition from_pos;
XmTextPosition to_pos;
char * value;

Description

An example text replacement would be to replace the second and third characters in the text string. To accomplish this, the parameter from_pos must be 1 and to_pos must be 3. To insert a string after the fourth character, both parameters, from_pos and to_pos, must be 4.

This routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks, either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both. If both verification callback lists are registered, the procedures of the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list are executed first and the resulting data is passed to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks.

widget

Specifies the Text widget ID

from_pos

Specifies the start position of the text to be replaced

to_pos
