XmTextFieldInsert(3X)													     XmTextFieldInsert(3X)

NAME

       XmTextFieldInsert - A TextField function that inserts a character string into a text string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/TextF.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextFieldInsert  inserts  a character string into the text string in the TextField 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  position  parameter
       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 TextField widget ID Specifies the posi-
       tion 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 TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3X).
