✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is <rainbow>XmTextFieldSetSelection(library call)</rainbow> — a TextField function that sets the primary selection of the text. periodt. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/TextF.h>
void XmTextFieldSetSelection(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition first,
XmTextPosition last,
Time time);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

XmTextFieldSetSelection sets the primary selection of the text in the widget. It also sets the insertion cursor position to the last position of the selection and calls the widget's XmNmotionVerifyCallback callbacks. XmTextFieldSetSelection always generates an XmNgainPrimaryCallback unless it fails to take ownership of the primary text selection.

the argument lineup, bestie:

  • widget — Specifies the TextField widget ID
  • first — Marks the first character position of the text to be selected
  • last — Marks the last position of the text to be selected
  • time — Specifies the time at which the selection value is desired. This should be the same as the time of the event that triggered this request. One source of a valid time stamp is the function XtLastTimestampProcessed.

For a complete definition of TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3).

signing off from the XmTextFieldSetSelection(library call) manual — that’s the source/version footer vibe. Date? Not listed, so no date bestie. Just pure library-call energy. 💜
