I hope that this helps,

XmTextReplaceWcs(3X)													      XmTextReplaceWcs(3X)

NAME
XmTextReplaceWcs - A Text function that replaces part of a wide character string in a Text widget SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h> void XmTextReplaceWcs (widget, from_pos, to_pos, wcstring) Widget widget; XmTextPosition from_pos; XmTextPosition to_pos; wchar_t *wcstring; DESCRIPTION
XmTextReplaceWcs replaces part of the wide character 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 from_pos parameter must be 1 and the to_pos parameter must be 3. To insert a string after the fourth character, both the from_pos and to_pos param- eters 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 wide character string value to be added to the Text widget For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3X).
