XmTextInsert(3X)														  XmTextInsert(3X)

NAME

       XmTextInsert - A Text function that inserts a character string into a text string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Text.h>

       void XmTextInsert(widget, position, value)
	       Widget widget;
	       XmTextPosition position;
	       char * value;

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextInsert  inserts  a  character string into the text string in the Text widget.  The character positions begin at zero and are numbered
       sequentially from the beginning of the text.  For example, to insert a string after the fourth character, the parameter position 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 Text widget ID.  Specifies the  position
       in the text string where the character string is to be inserted.  Specifies the character string value to be added to the text widget.

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