XmtMsgLineSet(3)	    Library Functions Manual		XmtMsgLineSet(3)

NAME
     XmtMsgLineSet(),  XmtMsgLineAppend(), XmtMsgLinePrintf(), XmtMsgLineClear()
     - display messages in an XmtMsgLine widget.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xmt/MsgLine.h>

     void XmtMsgLineSet(Widget w, String msg)

     void XmtMsgLineAppend(Widget w, String msg)

     void XmtMsgLinePrintf(Widget w, String fmt, ...)

     void XmtMsgLineClear(Widget w, int when)

ARGUMENTS
     INPUTS

	  w	 An XmtMsgLine widget.

	  msg	 The message to be displayed in or appended to w.

	  fmt	 For XmtMsgLinePrintf(), a printf()-style format string.

	  ...	 For XmtMsgLinePrintf(), a printf()-style variable length  argu-
		 ment list of values to be substituted into fmt.

	  when	 For  XmtMsgLineClear(),  specifies  when  the XmtMsgLine widget
		 should be cleared. Specify a delay in milliseconds, or  one  of
		 the constants XmtMsgLineNow or XmtMsgLineOnAction.

DESCRIPTION
     XmtMsgLineSet()  displays	message  msg in the XmtMsgLine widget w, erasing
     any text previously displayed in that widget.

     XmtMsgLineAppend() appends msg to whatever text is already displayed in w.

     XmtMsgLinePrintf() substitutes the values in its variable	length	argument
     list  into  fmt  and appends the resulting mes sage to whatever text is al-
     ready displayed in w.

     XmtMsgLineClear() clears any text that is displayed in the XmtMsgLine  wid-
     get  w,  either  immediately, or at a later time, depending on the value of
     the when argument. If when is  XmtMsgLineNow,  then  the  message	line  is
     cleared  immediately.  If when is XmtMsgLineOnAction, then the message line
     is cleared when the next user action (key press our mouse click, for  exam-
     ple)  occurs.  Otherwise, if when is neither of these constants, then it is
     taken as a time in milliseconds, and the message line will be cleared after
     the specified time elapses.

     It is legal to call XmtMsgLineClear() twice so that the message  line  will
     be  cleared  either when a user action occurs or a specified amount of time
     elapses. If there an XmtMsgLine has a clear  ``pending'',	and  some  other
     XmtMsgLine  procedure  is called (XmtMsgLineAppend(), e.g.), then the clear
     will be performed immediately before the other procedure takes effect.
