XMTEXTFIELDSETSTRING(3)

🎀 XmTextFieldSetString 🎀 (library call)

okay so bestie, welcome to the XmTextFieldSetString page — it's a library call, it lives in the library call manual, and it is here to help you shove a whole string into a TextField in one (1) go. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmTextFieldSetString — a TextField function that sets the string value. that's the whole job. she sets the string. icon behaviour, no notes 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so. XmTextFieldSetString sets the string value of the TextField widget. that's the main character move, that's the whole point of her. ✨

but the way that she does NOT just quietly do it — she announces it, bestie. this routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and the verification callbacks, which is either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both. and if you registered both verification callback lists? then the procedures of the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list get executed first, and the resulting data gets passed along to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks. order matters, she does not skip steps, periodt. 🔥

she also sets the insertion cursor position to the beginning of the string — like, cursor goes to the front, no debate — and calls the widget's XmNmotionVerifyCallback callbacks. so many callbacks. she's booked and busy. 😭

• widget — specifies the TextField widget ID. give her the widget, bestie, she needs to know which one 💜
• value — specifies the character pointer to the string value, and places the string into the text edit window. yes, both. she's multitasking. 👑

and if you want the full, complete definition of TextField and all of its associated resources, go check out XmTextField(3). it's giving lore. 📚

ngl the wide-character girlies should probably look at XmTextFieldSetStringWcs(3) if that's their vibe. just saying. 🌈
