DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(library call)								DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(library call)

NAME

       DtEditorSetInsertionPosition -- set the position of the insert cursor in a DtEditor widget

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Editor.h>
       void DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition position);

DESCRIPTION

       The DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function sets the insertion cursor position of the DtEditor widget.  The current position of the insertion
       cursor can be retrieved with DtEditorGetInsertionPosition(3). The last text position of the DtEditor widget can be retrieved with DtEditor-
       GetLastPosition(3).

       The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.

       The  position  argument	specifies the position of the insertion cursor.  This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the
       text buffer.  The first character position is zero.  Values greater than the last position place the cursor at the last position (that  is,
       at the end of the text).

       For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function returns no value.
