XMTEXTREMOVE(3)

✨ XmTextRemove ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the little Text widget function that just deletes your primary selection. iconic behavior, honestly. it's from the <Xm/Text.h> library-call girlies, and yes, it is serving utility.

🎀 NAME 🎀

XmTextRemove — a Text function that deletes the primary selection. yes, that's literally her whole job and she ate.

---

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

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

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so XmTextRemove deletes the primary selected text. periodt. if there is a selection, this routine also calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks — either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both. not me being thorough 💀

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. so it's giving "first one, then the other, data handoff, no cap." this function may also call the XmNmotionVerifyCallback callback. she's social like that.

• widget — specifies the Text widget ID. that's the one, bestie.

🌸 RETURN 🌸

this function returns False if the primary selection is NULL or if the widget does not own the primary selection. otherwise, it returns True. so like... no selection, no primary-ownership? False. she's not gonna pretend. simple as that.
