SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <Xm/Text.h>

       void XmTextSetSource (widget, source, top_character,  cursor_position)

               Widget widget;
               XmTextSource source;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       XmTextSetSource  sets 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 sets the
       source of one widget so that it can share  the  source  of
       another widget.

       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 Specifies the
       source with which the widget displays text.  This can be a
       value returned by the XmTextGetSource(3X) function.  If no
       source is specified, the widget creates a  default  string
       source.   Specifies the position in the text to display at
       the top of the widget. This is an integer number of  characters
  from  the beginning of the text buffer.  The first
       character position is 0.  Specifies the  position  in  the
       text  at  which  the insert cursor is located.  This is an
       integer number of characters from  the  beginning  of  the
       text buffer.  The first character position is 0.

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