[comp.windows.x] Interface for sinks and sources in text widget

mlp@ardent.UUCP (Mark Patrick) (05/22/88)

Is there any documentation on the procedural interfaces to the sources
and sinks for text widgets?  I have an application where I would like
to build up a history file displayed in a text widget which would allow
users to scroll back through the file and view previously entered commands.
I would like to be able to start with a relatively small amount of space
allocated to the history buffer and increase it as more commands are
entered.  But looking at the text widget doc it appears that this size
can't be increased.  Doe anyone have any suggestions.

No, there is none at present.  It's only an excuse, but one of the
reasons is that the interface needs to change to support selections.
