NAME
XmTextFieldGetSubstring - A TextField function that retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal text buffer SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/TextF.h> int XmTextFieldGetSubstring (widget, start, num_chars, buffer_size, buffer) Widget widget; XmTextPosition start; int num_chars; int buffer_size; char *buffer; DESCRIPTION
XmTextFieldGetSubstring retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal text buffer of a TextField widget. The function copies a specified number of characters from a given start position in the internal text buffer into a buffer provided by the application. A NULL terminator is placed at the end of the copied data. The size of the required buffer depends on the maximum number of bytes per character (MB_CUR_MAX) for the current locale. MB_CUR_MAX is a macro defined in <stdlib.h>. The buffer should be large enough to contain the substring to be copied and a NULL terminator. Use the fol- lowing equation to calculate the size of buffer the application should provide: buffer_size = (num_chars * MB_CUR_MAX) + 1 Specifies the TextField widget ID. Specifies the beginning character position from which the data will be retrieved. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0. Specifies the number of characters to be copied into the provided buffer. Specifies the size of the supplied buffer in bytes. This size should account for a NULL terminator. Specifies the character buffer into which the internal text buffer will be copied. For a complete definition of TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3X). RETURN VALUE
The function was successful. The function failed because it was unable to copy the specified number of characters into the buffer pro- vided. The buffer size may be insufficient. The contents of buffer are undefined. The requested number of characters extended beyond the internal buffer. The function copied characters between start and the end of the widget's buffer and terminated the string with a NULL terminator; fewer than num_chars characters were copied. SEE ALSO

NAME
XmTextFieldGetSubstringWcs - A TextField function that retrieves a portion of a wide character internal text buffer SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/TextF.h> int XmTextFieldGetSubstringWcs (widget, start, num_chars, buffer_size, buffer) Widget widget; XmTextPosition start; int num_chars; int buffer_size; wchar_t *buffer; DESCRIPTION
XmTextFieldGetSubstringWcs retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal text buffer of a TextField widget that is stored in a wide charac- ter format. The function copies a specified number of characters from a given start position in the internal text buffer into a buffer provided by the application. A NULL terminator is placed at the end of the copied data. Specifies the TextField widget ID. Specifies the beginning character position from which the data will be retrieved. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0. Specifies the number of wchar_t characters to be copied into the provided buffer. Specifies the size of the supplied buffer as a number of wchar_t storage locations. The minimum size is num_chars + 1. Specifies the wide character buffer into which the internal text buffer will be copied. For a complete definition of TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3X). RETURN VALUE
The function was successful. The function failed because it was unable to copy the specified number of characters into the buffer pro- vided. The buffer size may be insufficient. The contents of buffer are undefined. The requested number of characters extended beyond the internal buffer. The function copied characters to the end of the buffer and terminated the string with a NULL terminator; fewer than num_chars characters were copied. SEE ALSO
