✨ NAME ✨

XmTextGetInsertionPosition — a Text function that accesses the position of the insert cursor 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Text.h>
XmTextPosition XmTextGetInsertionPosition(
Widget widget);

like, that's the whole vibe. one function, one argument, no drama. 💅

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

XmTextGetInsertionPosition accesses the insertion cursor position of the Text widget. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly every single time. no cap. 👑

• widget — specifies the Text widget ID. hand her the widget, she tells you where the cursor is at. iconic behaviour honestly. 🌈

for a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3). iykyk — go read that one too, she's got the full lore. 📖✨

---

💜 RETURN 💜

she returns an XmTextPosition value that indicates the state of the XmNcursorPosition resource. 🎀

this is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. and listen — the first character position is 0 (zero). not 1, bestie. ZERO. programmers start counting at zero and we respect it. 🫡

so if you're sitting there like "why is my position off by one" — it's not, you just forgot about zero. it happens to the best of us. 🙈

okay that's the whole page, you ate that. 🍓 this was XmTextGetInsertionPosition from the library call section of the manual — the manpage footer literally just says XmTextGetIn...ionPosition(library call) again, so like, she said her own name twice and honestly? main character energy. go forth and get that insertion position, bestie. 💜✨🧚
