gtkEntryBufferInsertText {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkEntryBufferInsertText

### Description

Inserts `n.chars` characters of `chars` into the contents of the buffer, at position `position`.

### Usage

    gtkEntryBufferInsertText(object, position, chars, n.chars)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkEntryBuffer`
``position`` | the position at which to insert text.
``chars`` | the text to insert into the buffer.
``n.chars`` | the length of the text in characters, or -1

### Details

If `n.chars` is negative, then characters from chars will be inserted until a null-terminator is found. If `position` or `n.chars` are out of bounds, or the maximum buffer text length is exceeded, then they are coerced to sane values.

Note that the position and length are in characters, not in bytes. Since 2.18

### Value

[numeric] The number of characters actually inserted.
