DwtCommandSet(3Dwt)

Name

DwtCommandSet − Replaces the current command string with the one passed and executes it, if required. 

Syntax

void DwtCommandSet(widget, command)
     Widget widget;
     char *command;

Arguments

widgetSpecifies the ID of the command window widget whose current command string you want to replace. 

commandSpecifies the text to replace the text currently on the command line.  This argument is a NULL-terminated string. 

Description

The DwtCommandSet function replaces the current command string with the passed string within the command window widget.  A zero length string is used to clear the current command line.  If the string is terminated by a carriage return (<CR>), linefeed (<LF>), or carriage return and/or linefeed (<CR><LF>), then the command is executed, the application is informed, the command is moved to the command history, and a new prompt is issued.
