NAME
DtEditorSetContentsFromFile — load data from a file into a DtEditor widget

SYNOPSIS

#include &<Dt/Editor.h>
DtEditorErrorCode DtEditorSetContentsFromFile(
Widget widget,

DESCRIPTION

The DtEditorSetContentsFromFile function loads the contents of a file into a DtEditor widget. Any data currently in the DtEditor widget is lost. After the data is loaded, the insertion cursor is positioned at the first character.

The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.

The fileName argument is the pathname of the file relative to the local system.

For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3).

    The file is readable and writable.

DtEDITOR_READ_ONLY_FILE
    The file is read only.

DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED
