NAME

       XmTextGetTopCharacter  —  A Text function that accesses the position of
       the first character displayed

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Text.h>
       XmTextPosition XmTextGetTopCharacter(
       Widget widget);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTextGetTopCharacter accesses the position of the text at the  top  of
       the  Text  widget.   If  there  is no text in the Text widget (in other
       words, XmNvalue contains an empty string),  then  XmTextGetTopCharacter
       returns 0.

       Suppose  that  the  XmNtopCharacter  resource  has  been set to a value
       greater than the number of characters in the text widget. In this case,
       XmTextGetTopCharacter  returns  an XmTextPosition value identifying the
       position of the first character in the last line of text in a multiline
       case;  otherwise,  it  identifies the position of the last character in
       the line.

       widget    Specifies the Text widget ID

       XmText(3).

RETURN

       Returns  an  XmTextPosition  value  that  indicates  the  state  of the
       XmNtopCharacter resource. This is an integer number of characters  from
       the  beginning  of  the  text buffer. The first character position is 0
       (zero).
