XMTEXTINSERT(3)

💅 NAME 💅

XmTextInsert — a Text function that inserts a character string into a text string, and honestly? she eats every single time 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay bestie so XmTextInsert literally just drops a character string into the text string that's chillin' inside your Text widget. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly 💖

the character positions begin at 0 (zero) and get numbered sequentially from the very beginning of the text — so like, zero-indexed, the way it should be. for example: to insert a string after the fourth character, the parameter position must be 4. yes queen, count from zero, that's the vibe 👑

now here's the tea on callbacks ☕ — this routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks, which is either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both. and if both verification callback lists are registered, the procedures of the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list are executed first and the resulting data gets passed to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks. order matters, iykyk 😌

and if the XmNcursorPosition resource is greater than or is the same value as position, then XmNmotionVerifyCallback gets called. she's moving, she's shaking, she's calling her friends 📞✨

💀 NOTE: if value is a null string, no callbacks will be generated, since no modifications will have been made. nothing happened, so nothing gets announced. the silence is deafening fr fr 😭

here's who's who in the argument lineup 🎀

• widget — specifies the Text widget ID. that's your girl's ID, show it some respect 🫶
• position — specifies the position in the text string where the character string is to be inserted. the exact spot. the coordinates. the moment 💅
• value — specifies the character string value to be added to the text widget. this is the actual content, the main character of the operation 👑
