XmTextFieldReplaceWcs(library call) XmTextFieldReplaceWcs(library call)
NAME
XmTextFieldReplaceWcs -- A TextField function that replaces part of a wide character string in a TextField widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/TextF.h>
void XmTextFieldReplaceWcs(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition from_pos,
XmTextPosition to_pos,
wchar_t *wcstring);
DESCRIPTION
XmTextFieldReplaceWcs replaces part of the wide character string in the TextField widget. The character positions begin at 0 (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. If the XmNcursorPosition resource is greater than or is the
same value as from_pos, the XmNmotionVerifyCallback is called.
widget Specifies the TextField widget ID
from_pos Specifies the start position of the text to be replaced
to_pos Specifies the end position of the text to be replaced
wcstring Specifies the wide character string value to be added to the TextField widget
For a complete definition of TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3).
