πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so this page is DtTermInitialize(library call) β€” yes, a library call, and it's here to do one iconic little job: prevent accelerators from being installed on a DtTerm widget. that's the whole assignment, bestie. πŸ’…

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include &<Dt/Term.h>
void DtTermInitialize(
);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea: the DtTermInitialize function prevents the XmBulletinBoard(3) widget from installing accelerators on DtTerm widgets. no cap. it enables DtTerm widgets to receive certain key events β€” the ones like Return and Escape that Motif normally does not pass to XmPrimitive(3) widgets. it's giving "let the terminal widget actually get those keys," and we love that for it. πŸŽ€

🫢 RETURN VALUES 🫢

the DtTermInitialize function returns no value. literally nothing. it just does its thing and leaves. 😌

πŸ’œ APPLICATION USAGE πŸ’œ

real talk: the application must call DtTermInitialize before initializing the Xt Toolkit with XtAppInitialize(3). before, bestie β€” pre-game first, main character energy after. ✨

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

Dt/Term.h - DtTerm(5), DtTerm(3), XmBulletinBoard(3), XmPrimitive(3), XtAppInitialize(3).


that's the whole library-call moment, bestie β€” DtTermInitialize(library call), source/version: library call; date: not listed on the page, so no invented tea from me. πŸ’–βœ¨
