XmTextFieldReplace(3X)													    XmTextFieldReplace(3X)

NAME

       XmTextFieldReplace - A TextField function that replaces part of a text string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/TextF.h>

       void XmTextFieldReplace (widget, from_pos, to_pos, value)
	       Widget widget;
	       XmTextPosition from_pos;
	       XmTextPosition to_pos;
	       char * value;

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextFieldReplace  replaces  part  of  the  text  string  in the TextField widget.  The character positions begin at zero and are numbered
       sequentially from the beginning of the text.

       An example text replacement would be to replace the second and third characters in the text string.   To  accomplish  this,  the  parameter
       from_pos must be 1 and to_pos must be 3.  To insert a string after the fourth character, both parameters, from_pos and to_pos, must be 4.

       This  routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks, either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCall-
       backWcs, or both.  If both verification callback lists are registered, the procedures of  the  XmNmodifyVerifyCallback  list  are  executed
       first  and the resulting data is passed to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks.  Specifies the TextField widget ID Specifies the start
       position of the text to be replaced Specifies the end position of the text to be replaced Specifies the character string value to be  added
       to the text widget

       For a complete definition of TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3X).
