This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero). wcstring Specifies the wide character 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 buffer. XmTEXT_BACKWARD The search proceeds toward the beginning of the buffer. position Specifies the pointer in which the first character position of the string match is returned. This is an integer number of char- acters from the beginning of the buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero). If the function returns False, this value is undefined.
