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


NAME
       XmTextSetSource--A Text function that sets the source of the widget

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Text.h>

       void XmTextSetSource (widget, source, top_character, cursor_position)
            Widget    widget;
            XmTextSourcesource;
            XmTextPositiontop_character;
            XmTextPositioncursor_position;


DESCRIPTION
       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.


        widget Specifies the Text widget ID

        source 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.

        top_character
               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.

        cursor_position
               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.
