XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(3X)									       XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(3X)

NAME

       XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected - A List function that replaces items in a list without selecting the replacement items

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/List.h>

       void XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected (widget, new_items, item_count, position)
	       Widget widget;
	       XmString *new_items;
	       int item_count;
	       int position;

DESCRIPTION

       XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected	replaces  the  specified  number of items in the list with new items, starting at the given position.  The
       replacement items remain unselected, even if they currently appear in the XmNselectedItems list.  Specifies the ID of the  List	widget	to
       replace	items in.  Specifies a pointer to the replacement items.  Specifies the number of elements in new_items and the number of items in
       the list to replace. This number must be non-negative.  Specifies the position of the first item in the list to be replaced.  A value of  1
       indicates that the first item replaced is the first item in the list;  a value of 2 indicates that it is the second item; and so on.

	      Beginning  with  the  item  specified  in  position,  item_count items in the list are replaced with the corresponding elements from
	      new_items.  That is, the item at position is replaced with the first element of new_items; the item after position is replaced  with
	      the second element of new_items; and so on, until item_count is reached.

       For a complete definition of List and its associated resources, see XmList(3X).
