✨ NAME ✨

XmComboBoxSetItem — set an item in the XmComboBox list 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: the XmComboBoxSetItem function selects an item in the XmList of the given XmComboBox widget and makes it the first visible item in the list. like, it doesn't just pick it — it also scrolls the vibe to the top so everyone can see. main character energy, honestly. 👑

The w argument specifies the XmComboBox widget ID. that's the widget you're talking to, no cap.

The item argument specifies the XmString for the item to be set in the XmComboBox. so it's an XmString, not just any lil string, okay? 🍓

⚠️ and now the important part: if the item is not found on the list, XmComboBoxSetItem notifies the user via the XtWarning function. so if you typo that item name, bestie, you're getting a warning, not a silent little shrug. it's giving we tried to tell you. 😭

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

The XmComboBoxSetItem function returns no value. nope, not a thing, not a status code, nothing. it's void, it's mysterious, it simply does the thing and leaves. periodt. 💀
