Arguments: widget value
Sets the contents of text-edit-pane to be string. For
line breaks, the string may contain either single #\Newline or
#\Linefeed characters, or #\Return #\Linefeed (CR/LF) pairs.
The other way to replace all of the text in a text-edit-pane (assuming that it is
not associated with a multi-line-editable-text control)
is to call clear-page on the pane
and then write text to it with standard Common Lisp stream output
functions (like format).
Note: set-text
would actually work when called on certain other objects, but is too
low-level for application use for all but
text-edit-pane. Specifically, set-text would also set the
contents of a multi-line-editable-text control,
but (setf
value) should be used instead so that the control's current
value will reflect the current string. Similarly, set-text would set the title of a
frame-window
(as well as other things), but (setf title) should be
used instead so that the window will remember the title.
See also get-text, which returns (as a string) the text in a text-edit-pane and in text controls.
