Hi,
I have a question about the simple_text widget. I want to be able
to have a user select part of the simple text widget in order to replace
it with different text. To do this I need to know the start and end positions
of the selected area within the simple text string. Is there any
way to get this information?

Use DwtTextGetSelectionPosition()
int from,to;
DwtTextGetSelectionPosition(widget, &from, &to);
"from","to" are character positions relative to the text buffer
beginning.

RE: -.1
Thanks Robert. That's just what I was looking for!
I wonder why the DwtTextGetSelectionPosition function
isn't documented in the Ultrix DECwindows documentation.
???
Thanks again,
