💅 DtCreatePrintSetupDialog — the library call one, bestie

okay so real talk, this is the DtCreatePrintSetupDialog(library call) page — that's the manual fam it lives in — and it's literally just one little function that hands you a whole print setup dialog. iconic behavior tbh. no version or date on this page, so don't come for me, that's just how it is 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

DtCreatePrintSetupDialog — creates an instance of a dialog containing a DtPrintSetupBox widget 🦋

like, it makes the dialog. that's the whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<Print.h>
Widget DtCreatePrintSetupDialog(
Widget parent,
const String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

no cap, that's the exact signature, copy it character for character or the compiler will simply end you 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So DtCreatePrintSetupDialog is a convenience function — a little bestie who does the boring setup for you 🫶 It creates a DialogShell and an unmanaged DtPrintSetupBox child of that DialogShell.

the unmanaged part matters, okay?? it does not pop itself up. you're the main character here, you do it:

  • use XtManageChild to pop up the print set up dialog — pass the DtPrintSetupBox as the widget parameter
  • use XtUnmanageChild to pop it down

that's it. that's the whole lifecycle. manage to appear, unmanage to dip. periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. (who's your daddy widget, basically)
  • name — Specifies the name of the created widget. (give it a name, it deserves one ✨)
  • arglist — Specifies the argument list. (the whole attribute/value buffet)
  • argcount — Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in arglist. (yes you gotta count them, it's not psychic 😭)

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

If DtCreatePrintSetupDialog completes successfully, it returns the DtPrintSetupBox widget ID. slay.

If it fails, it returns NULL. 🙈 so like, check it. please. for me.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

None. literally none. nothing to see here, moving on 💜

⭐ RESOURCES ⭐

None. zero. zilch. the vibe is minimal.

🦋 ACTIONS/MESSAGES 🦋

None. no messages, no actions, no drama.

🔥 ERRORS/WARNINGS 🔥

None. (I know, I'm as shocked as you are.)

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

None. yeah I know, we were all rooting for one 😭 but the manpage said no and I respect the manpage.

🧚 FILES 🧚

None. not a single file path in sight.

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

(yes, it references itself. self-love is important 💅✨)

and that's the whole page, bestie — brought to you by the DtCreatePrintSetupDialog(library call) manual section, with no version or date listed anywhere on it, so this is the cutest sign-off I can legally give you 🎀✨ bye pookie, go manage that child widget 💖
