XmCreateScrolledText(3X) UNIX System V XmCreateScrolledText(3X)
NAME
XmCreateScrolledText - the Text ScrolledText convenience creation
function.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h>
Widget XmCreateScrolledText (parent, name, arglist, argcount)
Widget parent;
String name;
ArgList arglist;
Cardinal argcount;
DESCRIPTION
XmCreateScrolledText creates an instance of a Text widget that is
contained within a ScrolledWindow. All ScrolledWindow subarea widgets
are automatically created by this function. The ID returned by this
function is that of the Text widget. Use this ID for all normal Text
operations, as well as those that are relevant for the ScrolledText
widget.
The Text widget defaults to single-line text edit; therefore, no
ScrollBars are displayed. The Text resource XmNeditMode must be set to
XmMULTI_LINE_EDIT to display the ScrollBars. The results of placing a
Text widget inside a ScrolledWindow when the Text's XmNeditMode is
XmSINGLE_LINE_EDIT are undefined.
All arguments to either the Text or the ScrolledWindow widget can be
specified at creation time using this function. Changes to initial
position and size are sent only to the ScrolledWindow widget. Other
resources are sent to the Text or the ScrolledWindow widget as
appropriate.
This function forces the following initial values for ScrolledWindow
resources:
⊕ XmNscrollingPolicy is set to XmAPPLICATION_DEFINED.
⊕ XmNvisualPolicy is set to XmVARIABLE.
⊕ XmNscrollBarDisplayPolicy is set to XmSTATIC.
⊕ XmNshadowThickness is set to 0.
To obtain the ID of the ScrolledWindow widget associated with the
ScrolledText, use the Xt Intrinsics XtParent function. The name of the
ScrolledWindow created by this function is formed by concatenating the
letters SW onto the end of the name specified in the parameter list.
