NAME
       DtEditorInsert -- insert data into a DtEditor widget

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Dt/Editor.h>
       DtEditorErrorCode DtEditorInsert(
       Widget widget,
       DtEditorContentRec *data);

DESCRIPTION
       The  DtEditorInsert  function inserts either a string, wide character string or sized buffer at the insertion cursor position in a DtEditor
       widget.	The data is transferred to the DtEditor widget using a DtEditorContentRec, which indicates the	type  of  data	being  transferred
       along with the actual data.  After the data is appended, the insertion cursor is positioned after the last character inserted.

       The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.

       The data argument is a pointer to a data structure containing the data to insert.

       For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3).

       For a complete definition of DtEditorContentRec, see Dt/Editor.h - DtEditor(5).

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, the DtEditorInsert function returns one of the following values:

       DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS
		 The data was inserted sucessfully.

       DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED
		 NULL characters were found and removed from the data.

       Otherwise, if the DtEditorInsert function cannot insert the data into the DtEditor widget, it returns one of the following values:

       DtEDITOR_INVALID_TYPE
		 The Type field is not recognized.

       DtEDITOR_ILLEGAL_SIZE
		 The size of the buffer passed in is negative.

       DtEDITOR_NULL_ITEM
		 The buffer is NULL.

       DtEDITOR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
		 Not enough system memory is available to insert the data.

EXAMPLES
       The following code segment sets the contents of a DtEditor widget to ``The quick brown fox.''

       Widget		       editor;
       DtEditorContentRec      cr;
       DtEditorErrorCode       status;
       char		       *sampleString1="The brown fox",
			       *sampleString2=" quick";
       cr.type = DtEDITOR_TEXT;
       cr.value.string = sampleString1;
       status = DtEditorSetContents(editor, &cr);
       if (status != DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS && status != DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED) {
	       printf("Unable to set contents of the widget
");
       } else {
	 /*
	  * Move the insertion cursor so it is after the
	  * letter 'e' in "The".
	  */
	       DtEditorSetInsertionCursorPosition(editor, 2);
	       cr.type = DtEDITOR_TEXT;
	       cr.data.string = sampleString2;
	       status = DtEditorInsert(editor, &cr);
	       if (status != DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS)
		 printf("Unable to insert into the contents of the widget
");
       }

APPLICATION USAGE
       If the data is in a disk file, rather than in memory, the application should use DtEditorInsertFromFile(3).
