XmTextGetSource(3X) UNIX System V XmTextGetSource(3X)
NAME
XmTextGetSource-A Text function that accesses the source of
the widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h>
XmTextSource XmTextGetSource (widget)
Widget widget;
DESCRIPTION
XmTextGetSource accesses the source of the Text widget.
Text widgets can share sources of text so that editing in
one widget is reflected in another. This function accesses
the source of one widget so that it can be made the source
of another widget, using the function XmTextSetSource(3X).
Setting a new text source destroys the old text source if no
other Text widgets are using that source. To replace a text
source but keep it for later use, create an unmanaged Text
widget and set its source to the text source you want to
keep.
widget Specifies the Text widget ID
For a complete definition of Text and its associated
resources, see XmText(3X).
RETURN VALUE
Returns an XmTextSource value that represents the source of
the Text widget.
