NAME
DtEditorInsert - insert data into a DtEditor widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h>
DtEditorErrorCode DtEditorInsert(Widget widget,
DtEditorContentRec *data);
DESCRIPTION
The DtEditorInsert() function inserts either a string, wide
character string or sized buffer at the insertion cursor
position in a DtEditor widget. The data is transferred to
the DtEditor widget using a DtEditorContentRec, which indi-
cates the type of data being transferred along with the
actual data. After the data is appended, the insertion cur-
sor is positioned after the last character inserted.
The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.
The data argument is a pointer to a data structure contain-
ing the data to insert.
For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its
associated resources, see DtEditor(3).
For a complete definition of DtEditorContentRec, see
<Dt/Editor>.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtEditorInsert() function
returns one of the following values:
DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS
The data was inserted sucessfully.
DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED
NULL characters were found and removed from the
data.
Otherwise, if the DtEditorInsert() function cannot insert
the data into the DtEditor widget, it returns one of the
following values:
DtEDITOR_INVALID_TYPE
The Type field is not recognized.
DtEDITOR_ILLEGAL_SIZE
The size of the buffer passed in is negative.
DtEDITOR_NULL_ITEM
The buffer is NULL.

EXAMPLES
The following code segment sets the contents of a DtEditor
widget to ``The quick brown fox.''
Widget editor;
DtEditorContentRec cr;
DtEditorErrorCode status;
char *sampleString1="The brown fox",
*sampleString2=" quick";
cr.type = DtEDITOR_TEXT;
cr.value.string = sampleString1;
status = DtEditorSetContents(editor, &cr);
if (status != DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS && status != DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED) {
printf("Unable to set contents of the widget\n");
} else {
/*
* Move the insertion cursor so it is after the
* letter 'e' in "The".
*/
DtEditorSetInsertionCursorPosition(editor, 2);
cr.type = DtEDITOR_TEXT;
cr.data.string = sampleString2;
status = DtEditorInsert(editor, &cr);
if (status != DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS)
printf("Unable to insert into the contents of the widget\n");
}
APPLICATION USAGE
If the data is in a disk file, rather than in memory, the
application should use DtEditorInsertFromFile(3).
