  22.           The XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxxVVVVaaaalllliiiiddddaaaatttteeeePPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnn function is a utility that can
  23.           be used by applications wanting to implement a policy for
  24.           tracking user modifications to editable XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxx children
  25.           of type _X_m_N_U_M_E_R_I_C. The specifics of when and how the user's
  26.           modifications take effect is left up to the application.

  29.                     The _t_e_x_t__f_i_e_l_d argument specifies the widget ID of
  30.                     the child of the XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxx that is being modified.

  33.                     children of XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxx). This way, XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxx can
  34.                     extract the string out of the _t_e_x_t__f_i_e_l_d widget

  42.                     is not, XXXXSSSSmmmmppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxxVVVVaaaalllliiiiddddaaaatttteeeePPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnn sets position to
  43.                     the current position and returns _X_m_C_U_R_R_E_N_T__V_A_L_U_E.

  46.           string to a floating point number. If this translation
  47.           fails, XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxxVVVVaaaalllliiiiddddaaaatttteeeePPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnn sets position to the
  48.           current position and returns _X_m_C_U_R_R_E_N_T__V_A_L_U_E.
  49.  
  50.           XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxxVVVVaaaalllliiiiddddaaaatttteeeePPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnn converts the floating point number
  51.           to an integer using the _X_m_N_d_e_c_i_m_a_l_P_o_i_n_t_s resource. Extra
  52.           decimal places are truncated. The resulting integer is range
  53.           checked to make sure it falls within the valid range defined
  54.           by _X_m_N_m_i_n_i_m_u_m_V_a_l_u_e and _X_m_N_m_a_x_i_m_u_m_V_a_l_u_e inclusive. If the
  55.           input falls outside this range, XXXXmmmmSSSSppppiiiinnnnBBBBooooxxxxVVVVaaaalllliiiiddddaaaatttteeeePPPPoooossssiiiittttiiiioooonnnn
  56.           sets position to the nearest limit and returns either
