NAME
DtEditorSetInsertionPosition -- set the position of the insert cursor in a DtEditor widget SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h> void DtEditorSetInsertionPosition( Widget widget, XmTextPosition position); DESCRIPTION
The DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function sets the insertion cursor position of the DtEditor widget. The current position of the insertion cursor can be retrieved with DtEditorGetInsertionPosition(3). The last text position of the DtEditor widget can be retrieved with DtEditor- GetLastPosition(3). The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. The position argument specifies the position of the insertion cursor. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is zero. Values greater than the last position place the cursor at the last position (that is, at the end of the text). For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3). RETURN VALUE
The DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function returns no value. SEE ALSO

#include <Dt/Editor.h> XmTextPosition DtEditorGetLastPosition( Widget widget); DESCRIPTION

The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3). RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtEditorGetLastPosition function returns an XmTextPosition value that indicates the last position in the text; otherwise, it returns NULL. APPLICATION USAGE
The position information is given in terms of characters, which may differ from the byte position when multi-byte code sets are in use. SEE ALSO
