XMCOMMANDGETCHILD(3)

💖 XmCommandGetChild (library call) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for XmCommandGetChild, and it's giving library call realness. no cap. ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmCommandGetChild — it's a Command function, and the whole point is accessing a component. lowkey iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Command.h>
Widget XmCommandGetChild(
Widget widget,
unsigned char child);

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

XmCommandGetChild is literally how you access a component inside a Command. the parameters you pass in are the Command widget itself and a value that tells the function which component you're trying to reach. that's it, that's the vibe. 🫶

• widget — specifies the Command widget ID. yes, the actual widget. don't be weird about it.
• child — specifies a component within the Command. these are the legal values for this parameter, and you must stay in this lane:
  • XmDIALOG_COMMAND_TEXT
  • XmDIALOG_PROMPT_LABEL
  • XmDIALOG_HISTORY_LIST
  • XmDIALOG_WORK_AREA

if you want the complete definition of Command and all its associated resources, go read XmCommand(3). it's the source, bestie. 📚

---

✨ RETURN ✨

it returns the widget ID of the specified Command component. easy enough.

⚠️ but listen — an application should not assume that the returned widget will be of any particular class. so don't go assuming things, okay? that's not the move. 😭
