NAME

XmTextGetSource -- A Text function that accesses the source of the
widget

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Text.h>
XmTextSource XmTextGetSource(
Widget widget);

DESCRIPTION

XmTextGetSource accesses the source of the Text widget. Text widgets
can share sources of text so that editing in one widget is reflected
in another. This function accesses the source of one widget so that
it can be made the source of another widget, using the function
XmTextSetSource(3).

Setting a new text source destroys the old text source if no other
Text widgets are using that source. To replace a text source but
keep it for later use, create an unmanaged Text widget and set its
source to the text source you want to keep.

widget Specifies the Text widget ID

For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see
XmText(3).

RETURN

Returns an XmTextSource value that represents the source of the Text
widget.
