 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      XmTextSetHighlight - A Text function that highlights text

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <Xm/Text.h>
      void XmTextSetHighlight(
      Widget widget,
      XmTextPosition left,
      XmTextPosition right,
      XmHighlightMode mode);

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      XmTextSetHighlight highlights text between the two specified character
      positions. The mode parameter determines the type of highlighting.
      Highlighting text merely changes the visual appearance of the text; it
      does not set the selection.

      widget    Specifies the Text widget ID

      left      Specifies the position of the left boundary of text to be
                highlighted.  This is an integer number of characters from
                the beginning of the text buffer. The first character
                position is 0 (zero).

      right     Specifies the position of the right boundary of text to be
                highlighted.  This is an integer number of characters from
                the beginning of the text buffer. The first character
                position is 0 (zero).

      mode      Specifies the type of highlighting to be done. A value of
                XmHIGHLIGHT_NORMAL removes highlighting. A value of
                XmHIGHLIGHT_SELECTED highlights the text using reverse
                video. A value of XmHIGHLIGHT_SECONDARY_SELECTED highlights
                the text using underlining.
