XMTEXTFIELDINSERT(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XmTextFieldInsert — it's a TextField function, bestie, and what it does is insert a character string into a text string 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so XmTextFieldInsert takes a character string and inserts it into the text string living inside your TextField widget. slay. 💅

and the way the positions work?? positions start at 0 (zero) and they get numbered sequentially from the beginning of the text, no cap. so if you wanna insert a string after the fourth character, the position parameter has to be 4. yes literally, that's the whole vibe. ✨

this routine also calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and the verification callbacks — that's either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both, she's flexible 🫶. and here's the important bit: 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. order matters, periodt. 👑

also — if the XmNcursorPosition resource is greater than or is the same value as position, then the XmNmotionVerifyCallback gets called. so watch that cursor, she's got opinions. 😭

the parameters, let's go:

• widget — specifies the TextField widget ID 🪪
• position — specifies the position in the text string where the character string is to be inserted 📍
• value — specifies the character string value to be added to the text widget 🍓
