DESCRIPTION
XmTextFindStringWcs locates the beginning position of a specified wide character text string. This routine searches forward or backward

ceeds. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0. Specifies the
wide character search string. Indicates the search direction. It is relative to the primary direction of the text. The possible values
are: The search proceeds toward the end of the buffer. The search proceeds toward the beginning of the buffer. Specifies the pointer in
which the first character position of the string match is returned. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the buf-
fer. The first character position is 0. If the function returns False, this value is undefined.
