NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       XmTextGetSource - A Text function that accesses the source
       of the widget

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <Xm/Text.h>

       XmTextSource XmTextGetSource (widget)
               Widget widget;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       XmTextGetSource accesses the source of  the  Text  widget.
       Text  widgets can share sources of text so that editing in
       one  widget  is  reflected  in  another.   This   function
       accesses  the  source of one widget so that it can be made
       the  source  of  another  widget,   using   the   function
       XmTextSetSource(3X).

       Setting  a new text source destroys the old text source if
       no other Text widgets are using that source. To replace  a
       text source but keep it for later use, create an unmanaged
       Text widget and set its source to the text source you want
       to keep.  Specifies the Text widget ID

       For  a  complete  definition  of  Text  and its associated
       resources, see XmText(3X).

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       Returns an XmTextSource value that represents  the  source
       of the Text widget.
