XmTextSetSource(3X) UNIX System V XmTextSetSource(3X)
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.
