XmDataFieldSetHighlight(library call)									     XmDataFieldSetHighlight(library call)

NAME

       XmDataFieldSetHighlight -- A DataField function that highlights text

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/DataF.h>
       void XmDataFieldSetHighlight(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition left,
       XmTextPosition right,
       XmHighlightMode mode);

DESCRIPTION

       XmDataFieldSetHighlight highlights text between the two specified character positions. The mode parameter determines the type of highlight-
       ing. Highlighting text merely changes the visual appearance of the text; it does not set the selection.

       widget	 Specifies the DataField widget ID

       left	 Specifies the position of the left boundary of text to be highlighted.  This is an integer number of characters from  the  begin-
		 ning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero).

       right	 Specifies  the position of the right boundary of text to be highlighted.  This is an integer number of characters from the begin-
		 ning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero).

       mode	 Specifies the type of highlighting to	be  done.  A  value  of  XmHIGHLIGHT_NORMAL  removes  highlighting.  A	value  of  XmHIGH-
		 LIGHT_SELECTED  highlights  the  test	using  reverse	video. A value of XmHIGHLIGHT_SECONDARY_SELECTED highlights the text using
		 underlining.
