XMTEXTSETSTRING(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

XmTextSetString — A Text function that sets the string value. Bestie, it's from the (library call) manual, and it's literally the "set the whole string, no cap" function. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so XmTextSetString sets the string value of the Text widget. The way it does that? It calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks, either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both. 👀

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, fr fr — first list runs, then its resulting data goes to the Wcs callbacks. ✨

This function also sets the insertion cursor position to the beginning of the string and calls the widget's XmNmotionVerifyCallback callbacks. Cursor said "back to the start, periodt." 💅

• widget — Specifies the Text widget ID.
• value — Specifies the character pointer to the string value and places the string into the text edit window.
