void XmTextFieldSetHighlight (widget, left, right, mode)
Widgetwidget;
XmTextPosition left;
XmTextPosition right;

leftSpecifies 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. 

rightSpecifies 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. 

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