XMCOMBOBOXSELECTITEM(3)

💖 XmComboBoxSelectItem 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the XmComboBoxSelectItem page, living its best life in the (library call) section of the manual. it's a lil function that picks a thing for you. iconic behaviour honestly. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmComboBoxSelectItem — select a XmComboBox item 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/ComboBox.h>
void XmComboBoxSelectItem(
Widget w,
XmString item);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does this queen actually do? the XmComboBoxSelectItem function selects an item in the XmList of the XmComboBox widget. that's the whole job. she's focused, she's employed, she ate 💅

the w argument specifies the XmComboBox widget ID. that's your girl — the actual widget you're talking to.

the item argument specifies the XmString of the item to be selected. so you're like "hey, this one please" and you hand over the XmString of your chosen item ✨

and if the item is not found on the list?? the function doesn't just ghost you — XmComboBoxSelectItem notifies the user via the XtWarning function. so you WILL hear about it bestie 😭 it's giving "your fave isn't on the guest list".

---

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

the XmComboBoxSelectItem function returns no value. nothing. void. it did the thing and it's not coming back to tell you about it. lowkey mysterious of it 🙈
