NAME
XmTextSetSource-A Text function that sets the source of the
widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h>
void XmTextSetSource (widget, source, top_character, cursor_position)
Widget widget;
XmTextSourcesource;
XmTextPositiontop_character;
XmTextPositioncursor_position;
DESCRIPTION
XmTextSetSource sets 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 sets the
source of one widget so that it can share the source of
another widget.
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
source Specifies the source with which the widget displays
text. This can be a value returned by the
XmTextGetSource(3X) function. If no source is
specified, the widget creates a default string
source.
top_character
Specifies the position in the text to display at the
top of the widget. This is an integer number of
characters from the beginning of the text buffer.
The first character position is 0.
cursor_position
Specifies the position in the text at which the
insert cursor is located. This is an integer number
of characters from the beginning of the text buffer.
The first character position is 0.
For a complete definition of Text and its associated
resources, see XmText(3X).
