NAME

XmTextFieldReplace -- A TextField function that replaces part of a
text string

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/TextF.h>
void XmTextFieldReplace(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition from_pos,
XmTextPosition to_pos,
char * value);

DESCRIPTION

XmTextFieldReplace replaces part of the text string in the TextField
widget. The character positions begin at 0 (zero) and are numbered
sequentially from the beginning of the text.

An example text replacement would be to replace the second and third
characters in the text string. To accomplish this, the parameter
from_pos must be 1 and to_pos must be 3. To insert a string after the
fourth character, both parameters, from_pos and to_pos, must be 4.

This routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and
verification callbacks, either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or
XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both. If both verification callback
lists are registered, the procedures of the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback
list are executed first and the resulting data is passed to the
XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks. The XmNmotionVerifyCallback is
generated if to_pos is less than or equal to the cursor position and
the length of value is not the same as the length of the text being
replaced, or if the cursor position is between from_pos and to_pos,
and the distance from the cursor position to from_pos is greater than
the length of value.

widget Specifies the TextField widget ID

from_pos Specifies the start position of the text to be replaced

to_pos Specifies the end position of the text to be replaced

value Specifies the character string value to be added to the
text widget
