DTEDITORDELETESELECTION(3)

DtEditorDeleteSelection(library call) — okay bestie, this is the manual page for DtEditorDeleteSelection, and yes, it's a library call. 💅 We're deleting the primary selection in the DtEditor widget, respectfully.

💖 NAME 💖

DtEditorDeleteSelection — delete the primary selection in the DtEditor widget. It's giving "highlighted text? not anymore." ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include &<Dt/Editor.h>
Boolean DtEditorDeleteSelection(
Widget widget);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The DtEditorDeleteSelection function removes the currently highlighted data in a DtEditor widget. Any data following the deleted data is moved up. No cap, it just closes the gap. 🫶

Text can be selected and deselect programmatically with DtEditorSelectAll(3) and DtEditorDeselect(3). (Yes, the original says "deselect" like that — iykyk.)

The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. Literally just hand it the widget, bestie. 🎀

For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3). Go read the main character page. 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Upon successful completion, the DtEditorDeleteSelection function returns True; otherwise, if the primary selection is NULL, or if the widget does not own the primary selection, it returns False. That's the whole vibe check. 💀
