✨ NAME ✨

MrmRegisterClass</purl> — Saves the information needed for MRM to access the widget creation function for user-defined widgets 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
Cardinal MrmRegisterClass(
MrmType class_code,
String class_name,
String create_name,
Widget (*create_proc) (),
WidgetClass class_record);

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So the MrmRegisterClass function is literally the girl who lets MRM access user-defined widget classes. She registers all the necessary info so MRM can create widgets of this class. 💅

no cap: you must call MrmRegisterClass prior to fetching any user-defined class widget. like, before. not after. before. 🙈

MrmRegisterClass saves the information needed to access the widget creation function and to do type conversion of argument lists by using the information in MRM databases. she's doing a lot, honestly. main character energy fr fr. ✨

🧚 the arguments (yes we're going through all of them)

• class_code — This argument is ignored; it is present for compatibility with previous releases. she's just there for the nostalgia, bestie. 💀
• class_name — This argument is ignored too; it is present for compatibility with previous releases. two girls, both just vibing in the corner. 🫶
• create_name — Specifies the case-sensitive name of the low-level widget creation function for the class. An example from the Motif Toolkit is XmCreateLabel. Arguments are parent_widget, name, override_arglist, and override_argcount.

For user-defined widgets, create_name is the creation procedure in the UIL that defines this widget. 🎀

• create_proc — Specifies the address of the creation function that you named in create_name. point her at the right girl. 👑
• class_record — Specifies a pointer to the class record. ⭐

🌈 RETURN 🌈

This function returns one of the following status return constants:

• MrmSUCCESS — The function executed successfully. ate. 💖
• MrmFAILURE — The function failed. 😭 it's giving not today.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🦋 this one lives in the library call section of the manual (so like, MrmRegisterClass(library call) — that's her whole government name 💅). no date on this one, no version stamp, just vibes and Motif. go register your classes and slay, periodt. 🎀✨💖
