πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

XmTextFieldSetInsertionPosition β€” a TextField function that sets the position of the insertion cursor


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/TextF.h>
void XmTextFieldSetInsertionPosition(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition position);

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, XmTextFieldSetInsertionPosition sets the insertion cursor position of the TextField widget. that's the whole job, she's focused, she's booked and busy πŸ’…

and here's the lil plot twist: this routine also calls the widget's XmNmotionVerifyCallback callbacks if the insertion cursor position changes. so the callbacks get looped in whenever the cursor actually moves β€” no cap πŸ¦‹

  • widget β€” Specifies the TextField widget ID
  • position β€” Specifies the position of the insert cursor. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero). zero!! the origin!! the beginning of the lore πŸ‘‘

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫢 you just read the XmTextFiel...ionPosition(library call) page β€” yes that's the footer, that's the whole vibe, library call energy only, she's a classic πŸ’œ mwah, go set some cursor positions, you got this 🌸
