 XmTextGetSubstringWcs(Xm)      6 January 1993      XmTextGetSubstringWcs(Xm)


 Name

    XmTextGetSubstringWcs - a Text function that retrieves a portion of a
    wide character internal text buffer

 Syntax


    #include <Xm/Text.h>

    int XmTextGetSubstringWcs (widget, start, num_chars, buffer_size, buffer)
    Widget  widget;
    XmTextPosition start;
    int  num_chars;
    int  buffer_size;
    wchar_t  *buffer;


 Description

    XmTextGetSubstringWcs retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal text
    buffer of a Text widget that is stored in a wide character format. The
    function copies a specified number of characters from a given start posi-
    tion in the internal text buffer into a buffer provided by the
    application. A NULL terminator is placed at the end of the copied data.

    widget  Specifies the Text widget ID.

    start   Specifies the beginning character position from which the data
            will be retrieved. This is an integer number of characters from
            the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is
            0.

    numchars
            Specifies the number of wchart characters to be copied into the
            provided buffer.

    buffersize
            Specifies the size of the supplied buffer as a number of wchart
            storage locations. The minimum size is numchars + 1.

    buffer  Specifies the wide character buffer into which the internal text
            buffer will be copied.

 Return value

    XmCOPYSUCCEEDED
            The function was successful.

    XmCOPYFAILED
            The function failed because it was unable to copy the specified
            number of characters into the buffer provided.  The buffer size
            may be insufficient. The contents of buffer are undefined.

    XmCOPYTRUNCATED
            The requested number of characters extended beyond the internal
            buffer. The function copied characters between start and the end
            of the widget's buffer and terminated the string with a NULL ter-
            minator; fewer than numchars characters were copied.
