SetIText

Specify the text of an editText item and draw it

#include <Dialogs.h> Dialog Manager

void SetIText(iHandle, textStr );

Handle iHandle ; Handle of editText or statText item

Str255 textStr ; address of a pascal-style string

SetIText sets ( changes) the contents of an editText or statText item in a

dialog and redraws the changed portion of the dialog.

iHandle is handle obtained from a previous call to GetDItem. It is actually

the hText field of a TERec, as used by TextEdit.

textStr is the address of a pascal-style length-prefixed string containing

the desired new text for the item whose handle is iHandle.

Notes: SetIText must be preceded by a call to GetDItem in order to obtain a

valid value for iHandle . See GetIText for an example of usage.

Rather than changing static text with this call, you may find it convenient

to embed ^n text variables in the text and call ParamText to set them up.

Use SelIText to pre-select all or a portion to ease replacement. Use

GetIText to obtain the modified value of the item after calling
