💖 NAME 💖

XmTextSetStringWcs — the Text function that sets a wide character string value, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Text.h>
void XmTextSetStringWcs(
Widget widget,
wchar_t *wcstring);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so XmTextSetStringWcs sets the wide character string value of the Text widget. that's literally the whole job and she does it flawlessly, no cap 🫶

but the plot thickens, because this routine is not just quietly stuffing a string in there — it calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and verification callbacks, which are either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both 😭 so if you registered both verification callback lists, the procedures of the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list run first, and the resulting data gets passed on to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs callbacks. order matters, she's very organized ✨

and because she's extra in the best way, this function also sets the insertion cursor position to the beginning of the string 🎀 and calls the widget's XmNmotionVerifyCallback callbacks. icon behavior, truly 👑

  • widget — Specifies the Text widget ID 🦋
  • value — Specifies the wide character string value 🌸
