XmTextPosition *position);
DESCRIPTION
XmTextFindString locates the beginning position of a specified text string. This routine searches forward or backward for the first occur-
rence of the string starting from the given start position. If it finds a match, the function returns the position of the first character
of the string in position. If the match string begins at the current position, this routine returns the current position.

the text buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero).

direction Indicates the search direction. It is relative to the primary direction of the text. The possible values are
XmTEXT_FORWARD
The search proceeds toward the end of the text buffer.
XmTEXT_BACKWARD
The search proceeds toward the beginning of the text buffer.
position Specifies the pointer in which the first character position of the string match is returned. This is an integer number of charac-
ters from the beginning of the buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero). If the function returns False, this value is
undefined.
