<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Function>DtEditorAppend</Function> function appends either a
<SystemItem Class="Constant">NULL</SystemItem>-terminated string, wide character string or sized buffer
after the last character in a DtEditor widget.
The data is transferred to the DtEditor widget using a
<StructName Role="typedef">DtEditorContentRec</StructName>, which indicates the
type of data being transferred along with the actual data.
After the data is appended, the insertion cursor is positioned at the
new last character.
</Para>
<Para>The
<Symbol Role="Variable">widget</Symbol> argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID.
</Para>
<Para>The
<Symbol Role="Variable">data</Symbol> argument points to the data structure containing the data to append.
