NAME

XmCreateScrolledText -- The Text ScrolledText convenience creation
function

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Text.h>
Widget XmCreateScrolledText(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

DESCRIPTION

XmCreateScrolledText creates an instance of a Text widget that is
contained within a ScrolledWindow. The ScrolledWindow parent is
created managed. All ScrolledWindow subarea widgets are
automatically created by this function. The ID returned by this
function is that of the Text widget (not the ScrolledWindow widget).
Use this widget ID for all operations on the Text widget. Use the
widget ID of the Text widget's parent for all operations on the
ScrolledWindow. To obtain the ID of the ScrolledWindow widget
associated with the Text widget, use the Xt Intrinsics XtParent
function. The name of the ScrolledWindow created by this function is
formed by concatenating the letters SW onto the end of the name
specified in the parameter list.

The Text widget defaults to single-line text edit; therefore, no
ScrollBars are displayed. The Text resource XmNeditMode must be set
to XmMULTI_LINE_EDIT to display the ScrollBars. The results of
placing a Text widget inside a ScrolledWindow when the Text's
XmNeditMode is XmSINGLE_LINE_EDIT are undefined.

All arguments to either the Text or the ScrolledWindow widget can be
specified at creation time with this function. Changes to initial
position and size are sent only to the ScrolledWindow widget. Other
resources are sent to the Text or the ScrolledWindow widget as
appropriate. Note that the result of providing the
XmNdestroyCallback resource in the creation arglist is unspecified.
The application should use the XtAddCallback function to add
callbacks to the appropriate widget (Text or ScrolledWindow) after
creating it.

This function forces the following initial values for ScrolledWindow
resources:

+o XmNscrollingPolicy is set to XmAPPLICATION_DEFINED.

+o XmNvisualPolicy is set to XmVARIABLE.

+o XmNscrollBarDisplayPolicy is set to XmSTATIC.

+o XmNshadowThickness is set to 0 (zero).
