DTEDITORSETINSERTIONPOSITION(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the DtEditorSetInsertionPosition page from the library call manual 💅. This is the function that sets where the insert cursor sits in a DtEditor widget, no cap.

DtEditorSetInsertionPosition — set the position of the insert cursor in a DtEditor widget ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include &<Dt/Editor.h>
void DtEditorSetInsertionPosition(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition position);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function sets the insertion cursor position of the DtEditor widget. That’s the whole main character move 🎀. If you ever need to ask “where is the cursor rn?”, the current position of the insertion cursor can be retrieved with DtEditorGetInsertionPosition(3). And the last text position of the DtEditor widget can be retrieved with DtEditorGetLastPosition(3). iykyk 🦋

The arguments are giving very specific vibes:

• widget — this one specifies the DtEditor widget ID. It’s the “which editor are we talking about” argument, basically 🫶.
• position — this specifies the position of the insertion cursor. It’s an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is zero. Literally zero-indexed, bestie 😭.

Values greater than the last position place the cursor at the last position — that is, at the end of the text. So if you overshoot, it just parks at the end. Slay for not exploding 💀✨

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

The DtEditorSetInsertionPosition function returns no value. That’s it. No return-value drama, no little gift, just vibes and a moved cursor 💅.
