✨ NAME ✨

XmComboBoxUpdate β€” a ComboBox function that resynchronizes data πŸ’«


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/ComboBox.h>
void XmComboBoxUpdate(
Widget widget);

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, XmComboBoxUpdate resynchronizes the internal data structures of a specified ComboBox widget. that's the whole job, that's the vibe πŸ’…

it's giving "emergency refresh" energy, and it's useful when an application manipulates ComboBox's child widgets, possibly changing data structures. like, no cap, the widget doesn't always know what you did behind its back πŸ™ˆ

for example, you might want to use the XmComboBoxUpdate function after a ComboBox List child selection has been changed without notification. the ComboBox is just sitting there, blissfully unaware, and this function is the friend who taps it on the shoulder like "girl. look. πŸ‘€"

  • widget β€” Specifies the ComboBox widget ID. that's it, that's the only thing it wants from you 🫢

XmComboBox(3).


and that's the whole page, bestie ✨ it lives in the library call manual, it's XmComboBoxUpdate(3), and the footer was just the title doing its little encore β€” XmComboBoxUpdate(library call) β€” so there you go πŸŽ€ slay, go resync those data structures πŸ’…πŸ¦‹
