NAME

       XmTextSetHighlight — A Text function that highlights text

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Text.h>
       void XmTextSetHighlight(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition left,
       XmTextPosition right,
       XmHighlightMode mode);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextSetHighlight  highlights text between the two specified character
       positions. The mode parameter  determines  the  type  of  highlighting.
       Highlighting  text merely changes the visual appearance of the text; it
       does not set the selection.

       widget    Specifies the Text widget ID

       left      Specifies the position of the left boundary  of  text  to  be
                 highlighted.   This  is  an integer number of characters from
                 the  beginning  of  the  text  buffer.  The  first  character
                 position is 0 (zero).

       right     Specifies  the  position  of the right boundary of text to be
                 highlighted.  This is an integer number  of  characters  from
                 the  beginning  of  the  text  buffer.  The  first  character
                 position is 0 (zero).

       mode      Specifies the type of highlighting to be  done.  A  value  of
                 XmHIGHLIGHT_NORMAL   removes   highlighting.   A   value   of
                 XmHIGHLIGHT_SELECTED highlights the text using reverse video.
                 A value of XmHIGHLIGHT_SECONDARY_SELECTED highlights the text
                 using underlining.
