XmCreateScrolledText(3X)
OSF/Motif
NAME
  XmCreateScrolledText - The TextScrolledText convenience creation function

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Xm/Text.h>

  Widget XmCreateScrolledText (parent, name, arglist, argcount)
	  Widget parent;
	  String name;
	  ArgList arglist;
	  Cardinal argcount;

DESCRIPTION
  XmCreateScrolledText creates an instance of a Text widget that is contained
  within a ScrolledWindow.  All ScrolledWindow subarea widgets are
  automatically created by this function. The ID returned by this function is
  that of the Text widget. Use this ID for all normal Text operations, as
  well as those that are relevant for the ScrolledText widget.

  The Text widget defaults to single-line text edit; therefore, no ScrollBars
  are displayed.  The Text resource XmNeditMode must be set to
  XmMULTI_LINE_EDIT to display the ScrollBars. The results of placing a Text
  widget inside a ScrolledWindow when the Text's XmNeditMode is
  XmSINGLE_LINE_EDIT are undefined.

  All arguments to either the Text or the ScrolledWindow widget can be
  specified at creation time using this function. Changes to initial position
  and size are sent only to the ScrolledWindow widget. Other resources are
  sent to the Text or the ScrolledWindow widget as appropriate.

  This function forces the following initial values for ScrolledWindow
  resources:

    ·  XmNscrollingPolicy is set to XmAPPLICATION_DEFINED.

    ·  XmNvisualPolicy is set to XmVARIABLE.

    ·  XmNscrollBarDisplayPolicy is set to XmSTATIC.

    ·  XmNshadowThickness is set to 0.

  To obtain the ID of the ScrolledWindow widget associated with the
  ScrolledText, use the Xt Intrinsics XtParent function. The name of the
  ScrolledWindow created by this function is formed by concatenating the
  letters SW onto the end of the name specified in the parameter list.

  parent
      Specifies the parent widget ID

  name
      Specifies the name of the created widget

  arglist
      Specifies the argument list

  argcount

      (arglist)

  For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see
  XmText(3X).
