## DESCRIPTION

`XmTextFieldSetSelection` sets the primary selection of the text in the widget. It also sets the insertion cursor position to the last position of the selection and calls the widget's `XmNmotionVerifyCallback` callbacks. `XmTextFieldSetSelection` always generates an `XmNgainPrimaryCallback` unless it fails to take ownership of the primary text selection.

widget

- Specifies the TextField widget ID

first

- Marks the first character position of the text to be selected

last

- Marks the last position of the text to be selected

time

- Specifies the time at which the selection value is desired. This should be the same as the time of the event that triggered this request. One source of a valid time stamp is the function `XtLastTimestampProcessed`.
