NAME

       XmTextPosition -- Data type for a character position within a text string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextPosition is an integer data type that holds a character's position within a text string for Text and TextField.

       An XmTextPosition value conceptually points to the gap between two characters.  For example, consider a text string consisting of N charac-
       ters.  A value of 0 refers to the position immediately prior to the first character.  A value of 1 refers to the position  in  between  the
       first and second characters.  A value of N refers to the position immediately following the last character. Therefore, the text string of N
       characters actually contains N + 1 positions.

NAME

       XmTextFindString -- A Text function that finds the beginning position of a text string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       Boolean XmTextFindString(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition start,
       char *string,
       XmTextDirection direction,
       XmTextPosition *position);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextFindString  locates the beginning position of a specified text string. This routine searches forward or backward for the first occur-
       rence of the string starting from the given start position.  If it finds a match, the function returns the position of the first  character
       of the string in position.  If the match string begins at the current position, this routine returns the current position.

       widget	 Specifies the Text widget ID.

       start	 Specifies  the  character  position from which the search proceeds. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of
		 the text buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero).

       string	 Specifies the search string.

       direction Indicates the search direction. It is relative to the primary direction of the text. The possible values are

		 XmTEXT_FORWARD
			   The search proceeds toward the end of the text buffer.

		 XmTEXT_BACKWARD
			   The search proceeds toward the beginning of the text buffer.

       position  Specifies the pointer in which the first character position of the string match is returned. This is an integer number of charac-
		 ters  from  the  beginning  of the buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero). If the function returns False, this value is
		 undefined.

RETURN

       Returns True if a string match is found; otherwise, returns False.
