Method

GtkTextBufferselect_range

Declaration [src]

void
gtk_text_buffer_select_range (
  GtkTextBuffer* buffer,
  const GtkTextIter* ins,
  const GtkTextIter* bound
)

Description [src]

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.

If you move them in two steps with gtk_text_buffer_move_mark(), you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.

Parameters

ins

Type: GtkTextIter

Where to put the “insert” mark.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

bound

Type: GtkTextIter

Where to put the “selection_bound” mark.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
