XmTextReplace(3X)														 XmTextReplace(3X)

NAME

       XmTextReplace - A Text function that replaces part of a text string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Text.h>

       void XmTextReplace (widget, from_pos, to_pos, value)
	       Widget widget;
	       XmTextPosition from_pos;
	       XmTextPosition to_pos;
	       char * value;

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextReplace  replaces	part  of  the text string in the Text widget.  The character positions begin at zero and are numbered sequentially
       from the beginning of the text.

       An example text replacement would be to replace the second and third characters in the text string.   To  accomplish  this,  the  parameter
       from_pos must be 1 and to_pos must be 3.  To insert a string after the fourth character, both parameters, from_pos and to_pos, 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 start posi-
       tion of the text to be replaced Specifies the end position of the text to be replaced 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).
