okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about XmTextInsertWcs โ a Text function that inserts a wide character string into a Text widget. it's a library call, it's iconic, and it's about to be your new fave. ๐
โจ NAME โจ
XmTextInsertWcs โ A Text function that inserts a wide character string into a Text widget. yes that's literally the whole job and she does it flawlessly. ๐
๐ธ SYNOPSIS ๐ธ
#include <Xm/Text.h>
void XmTextInsertWcs(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition position,
wchar_t *wcstring);
look at her. so clean. so simple. ๐ฆ
๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
so here's the tea, bestie: XmTextInsertWcs inserts a wide character string into the Text widget at a specified location. that's it, that's the vibe. โจ
the character positions begin at 0 (zero, fr fr) and are numbered sequentially from the beginning of the text. so like, if you wanna insert a string after the fourth character, the position parameter must be 4. not 5, not 3. 4. the math is mathing, trust. ๐งฎ
this routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks โ 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 is passed to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks. order matters, periodt. ๐
and if the XmNcursorPosition resource is greater than or is the same value as position, the XmNmotionVerifyCallback is called. the cursor said "i'm involved now." ๐
โ ๏ธ note, and this one's important: if value is a null string, no callbacks will be generated, since no modifications will have been made. the widget simply does not acknowledge it. it's giving silent treatment. ๐
here's the parameter rundown, no skips, all of them:
widgetโ Specifies the Text widget IDpositionโ Specifies the position in the text string where the new character string is to be insertedwcstringโ Specifies the wide character string value to be added to the Text widget
and for a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, go check out XmText(3). she's the main character of this whole saga. ๐
