dteditorreplacefromfile
DtEditorReplaceFromFile(library call) DtEditorReplaceFromFile(library call)
NAME
DtEditorReplaceFromFile -- replace a portion of the contents of a DtEditor widget with the contents of a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h>
DtEditorErrorCode DtEditorReplaceFromFile(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition startPos,
XmTextPosition endPos,
char *fileName);
DESCRIPTION
The DtEditorReplaceFromFile function replaces part of the contents of a DtEditor widget with the contents of a file. All data following
the start position and up to, but not including, the end position is replaced. If the start position and the end position are equal, the
data is inserted after the end position. The character positions begin at zero and are numbered sequentially from the beginning of the
text. After the replacement, the insertion cursor is positioned after the last character inserted.
The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.
The startPos argument specifies the starting character position of the portion to replace. The replacement begins at this character.
The endPos argument specifies the ending character position of the portion to replace. The replacement ends before this character.
The fileName argument is the pathname of the file relative to the local system.
For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtEditorReplaceFromFile function returns one of the following values:
DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS
The file is readable and writable.
DtEDITOR_READ_ONLY_FILE
The file is read only.
DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED
The file contained embedded NULL characters, which were removed.
Otherwise, if it cannot insert the data into the DtEditor widget, the function returns one of the following values:
DtEDITOR_INVALID_RANGE
The startPos argument is greater than the endPos argument.
DtEDITOR_NONEXISTENT_FILE
The file does not exist.
DtEDITOR_DIRECTORY
The file is a directory.
DtEDITOR_CHAR_SPECIAL_FILE
The file is a character-special device.
DtEDITOR_BLOCK_MODE_FILE
The file is a block-mode device.
DtEDITOR_NO_FILE_ACCESS
The file cannot be accessed.
DtEDITOR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
Not enough system memory is available to replace the data.
DtEDITOR_UNREADABLE_FILE
The file is unreadable for an unspecified reason.
APPLICATION USAGE
If the data is in memory, rather than a disk file, the application should use DtEditorReplace(3).
