Description:

PtTextCallback_t, PtTextControl_t, and PtTextControlInfo_t are different names for the same structure. They're used in callbacks for PtText widgets as well as to specify actions or request data. The members of these structures are:

start_pos

The start position of the affected range of text.

end_pos

The end position of the affected range of text.

cur_insert

The character position where the cursor was located at the time of the change.

new_insert

The character position where the cursor will be located after the change.

length

The number of multibyte characters in the text string that's about to be added to the widget.

text

A pointer to length characters to be added to the widget.

doit

Indicates whether or not the change should be made to the widget's text. In a Pt_CB_MODIFY_VERIFY callback, you can prevent the text from being added to the widget by setting doit or length to zero.
