DwtListBoxSetItem(3Dwt) 												   DwtListBoxSetItem(3Dwt)

Name
       DwtListBoxSetItem  -  Makes  a specified item (if it exists) the first visible item in a list box, or as close to the top as possible.  The
       item always becomes visible.

Syntax
       void DwtListBoxSetItem(widget, item)
	    Widget widget;
	    DwtCompString item;

Arguments
       widget	 Specifies the widget ID.

       item	 Specifies the item to be made the first item in the list box.

Description
       The DwtListBoxSetItem function makes the specified item (if it exists) the first visible item in a list box.  The function determines which
       item  in  the  list  box is displayed at the top of the list box, the choice of which is limited by the DwtNitemsCount and DwtNvisibleItem-
       sCount attributes to the list box widget.  When DwtNvisibleItemsCount is greater than 1 and less than DwtNitemsCount, the list  box  widget
       fills the list box with the maximum visible items regardless of the position value.

       For  example,  if DwtNitemsCount is 10 and DwtNvisibleItemsCount is 5, you cannot make item 8 display at the top of the list box.  Instead,
       items 6 through 10 would be displayed.  Setting item to the fourth item in the list would make items 4 through  8  display.   If  DwtNvisi-
       bleItemsCount is 1, you can make any item in the list be displayed at the top of the list box.

NAME
XmListPosToBounds -- A List function that returns the bounding box of an item at a specified position in a list SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/List.h> Boolean XmListPosToBounds( Widget widget, int position, Position *x, Position *y, Dimension *width, Dimension *height); DESCRIPTION
XmListPosToBounds returns the coordinates of an item within a list and the dimensions of its bounding box. The function returns the associ- ated x and y-coordinates of the upper left corner of the bounding box relative to the upper left corner of the List widget, as well as the width and the height of the box. The caller can pass a NULL value for the x, y, width, or height parameters to indicate that the return value for that parameter is not requested. widget Specifies the ID of the List widget. position Specifies the position of the specified item. A value of 1 indicates the first item in the list; a value of 2 indicates the sec- ond item; and so on. A value of 0 (zero) specifies the last item in the list. x Specifies a pointer to the returned x-coordinate of the item. y Specifies the pointer to the returned y-coordinate of the item. width Specifies the pointer to the returned width of the item. height Specifies the pointer to the returned height of the item. For a complete definition of List and its associated resources, see XmList(3). RETURN
If the item at the specified position is not visible, returns False, and the returned values (if any) are undefined. Otherwise, this func- tion returns True. RELATED
