XmTextGetSubstringWcs(3X)     SDK X11 R4.11MU05    XmTextGetSubstringWcs(3X)


NAME
       XmTextGetSubstringWcs--A Text function that retrieves a portion of a
       wide character internal text buffer

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Text.h>

       int XmTextGetSubstringWcs (widget, start, num_chars, buffer_size, buffer)
            Widget      widget;
            XmTextPositionstart;
            int         num_chars;
            int         buffer_size;
            wchar_t     *buffer;


DESCRIPTION
       XmTextGetSubstringWcs retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal
       text buffer of a Text widget that is stored in a wide character
       format.  The function copies a specified number of characters from a
       given start position in the internal text buffer into a buffer
       provided by the application.  A NULL terminator is placed at the end
       of the copied data.


       widget    Specifies the Text widget ID.

       start     Specifies the beginning character position from which the
                 data will be retrieved.  This is an integer number of
                 characters from the beginning of the text buffer.  The
                 first character position is 0.

       num_chars Specifies the number of wchar_t characters to be copied
                 into the provided buffer.

       buffer_size
                 Specifies the size of the supplied buffer as a number of
                 wchar_t storage locations.  The minimum size is num_chars +
                 1.

       buffer    Specifies the wide character buffer into which the internal
                 text buffer will be copied.

RETURN VALUE
       XmCOPY_SUCCEEDED    The function was successful.

       XmCOPY_FAILED       The function failed because it was unable to copy
                           the specified number of characters into the
                           buffer provided.  The buffer size may be
                           insufficient.  The contents of buffer are
                           undefined.

       XmCOPY_TRUNCATED    The requested number of characters extended
                           beyond the internal buffer.  The function copied
                           characters between start and the end of the
                           widget's buffer and terminated the string with a
                           NULL terminator; fewer than num_chars characters
                           were copied.
