XMTEXTSHOWPOSITION(3)

💖 XmTextShowPosition 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the XmTextShowPosition page — it's a library call from the Xm fam, and it is genuinely so useful, no cap. it's a Text function that forces text at a given position to be displayed 🦋 like, you point at a spot, and the widget shows you that spot. main character energy fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Text.h>
void XmTextShowPosition(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition position);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so XmTextShowPosition forces the text at the specified position to be displayed. that's the whole gig 💅

🎀 heads up bestie: if the XmNautoShowCursorPosition resource is True, then the application should also set the insert cursor to this position. don't skip that part, it's giving teamwork.

here's the tea on the args:

• widget — Specifies the Text widget ID. yeah, you gotta tell it which widget, obviously 🫶
• position — Specifies the character position to be displayed. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is 0 (zero). not one, bestie, zero. index-from-zero girlies rise up ✨

if a navigator exists, this function uses the XmQTnavigator trait to update the horizontal navigator's value. lowkey iconic how it just does that for you 🌈
