NAME
      XmTextSetHighlight - a Text function that highlights text


SYNOPSIS
      #include <Xm/Text.h>

      void XmTextSetHighlight (widget, left, right, mode)
           Widget    widget;
           XmTextPositionleft;
           XmTextPositionright;
           XmHighlightModemode;


DESCRIPTION
      XmTextSetHighlight highlights text between the two specified character
      positions.  The mode parameter determines the type of highlighting.
      Highlighting text merely changes the visual appearance of the text; it
      does not set the selection.


     widget Specifies the Text widget ID

     left   Specifies the position of the left boundary of text to be
             highlighted.  This is an integer number of characters from the
             beginning of the text buffer.  The first character position is 0.

     right  Specifies the position of the right boundary of text to be
             highlighted.  This is an integer number of characters from the
             beginning of the text buffer.  The first character position is 0.

     mode   Specifies the type of highlighting to be done.  A value of
             XmHIGHLIGHT_NORMAL removes highlighting.  A value of
             XmHIGHLIGHT_SELECTED highlights the text using reverse video.  A
             value of XmHIGHLIGHT_SECONDARY_SELECTED highlights the text using
             underlining.
