NAME

       XmTextFieldGetSubstringWcs - A TextField function that retrieves a portion of a wide character internal text buffer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/TextF.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextFieldGetSubstringWcs retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal text buffer of a TextField widget that is stored in a wide charac-
       ter format.  The function copies a specified number of characters from a given start position in the internal text  buffer  into  a  buffer
       provided by the application.  A NULL terminator is placed at the end of the copied data.  Specifies the TextField widget ID.  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.  Specifies the number of wchar_t characters to be copied into the provided buffer.  Specifies
       the size of the supplied buffer as a number of wchar_t storage locations.  The minimum size is num_chars + 1.  Specifies the wide character
       buffer into which the internal text buffer will be copied.

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

RETURN VALUE

       The  function  was  successful.	 The function failed because it was unable to copy the specified number of characters into the buffer pro-
       vided. The buffer size may be insufficient.  The contents of buffer are undefined.  The requested number of characters extended beyond  the
       internal  buffer.   The	function  copied  characters to the end of the buffer and terminated the string with a NULL terminator; fewer than
       num_chars characters were copied.
