XmTextReplace(library call)											       XmTextReplace(library call)

NAME

       XmTextReplace -- A Text function that replaces part of a text string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Text.h>
       void XmTextReplace(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition from_pos,
       XmTextPosition to_pos,
       char * value);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextReplace  replaces part of the text string in the Text widget. The character positions begin at 0 (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.	The XmNmotionVerifyCallback is generated if to_pos is less
       than or equal to the cursor position and the length of value is not the same as the length of the text being replaced,  or  if  the  cursor
       position is between from_pos and to_pos, and the distance from the cursor position to from_pos is greater than the length of value.

       widget	 Specifies the Text widget ID

       from_pos  Specifies the start position of the text to be replaced

       to_pos	 Specifies the end position of the text to be replaced

       value	 Specifies the character string value to be added to the text widget

       For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3).
