XmTextGetSource - Man Page

#include <Xm/Text​.h>
XmTextSource XmTextGetSource(
Widget widget);

XmTextGetSource accesses the source of the Text widget​. Text widgets can share sources of text so that editing in one widget is reflected in another​. This function accesses the source of one widget so that it can be made the source of another widget, using the function XmTextSetSource(3)​.

Setting a new text source destroys the old text source if no other Text widgets are using that source​. To replace a text source but keep it for later use, create an unmanaged Text widget and set its source to the text source you want to keep​.
