SYNOPSIS

#include <Dt/Editor.h>

DESCRIPTION

The DtEditorGetMessageTextFieldID() function returns the DtEditor widget ID of the Motif Text Field located in the status area of a DtEditor widget. By setting the XmNvalue or XmNvalueWcs resource of this widget, an application can conveniently display feedback messages for the user.  If the message field is not used by the application, it can be unmanaged by calling XtUnmanageWidget(3) with this widget ID. 

The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. 

For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3). 
???? Component owner - RETURN VALUE requires specific wording.  I’ve changed your original to match this requirement - please check that this is technically correct ????

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, the DtEditorGetMessageTextFieldID() function returns the ID of the text field widget; otherwise, it returns NULL.
