XMTEXTPASTELINK(3)

✨ XmTextPasteLink ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the XmTextPasteLink page — it's a Text function that inserts a link to the clipboard selection. yes, a link, not the actual stuff. we're being fancy today 💅 (it lives in the library call section of the manual, iykyk 🎀)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Text.h>
Boolean XmTextPasteLink(
Widget widget);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: XmTextPasteLink inserts a link to the clipboard selection at the insertion cursor. that's the whole main character move. ✨

But plot twist — it does NOT do the work itself. nope. it calls the widget's XmNdestinationCallback procedures, with the selection member of the XmDestinationCallbackStruct set to CLIPBOARD and with the operation member set to XmLINK. 🫶

Not me being the messenger — the Text widget itself performs no transfers. the XmNdestinationCallback procedures are the ones responsible for inserting the link to the clipboard selection and for taking any related actions. so like, if nothing happens, that's on the callbacks, fr fr 😭

widget — specifies the Text widget ID. that's it, that's the whole input 🌈

For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3). go read it, it's giving required reading 📚

💖 RETURN 💖

This function returns False if no transfers take place. Otherwise, it returns True. so either it ate, or it didn't 💀
