XMCREATEARROWBUTTON(3)

💖 XmCreateArrowButton 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the XmCreateArrowButton manual page, straight out of the library call section of your local man pages. it's a tiny one. it's an icon. let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateArrowButton — the ArrowButton widget creation function 🏹

like, that's it. that's the whole job. it makes an arrow button. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/ArrowB.h>
Widget XmCreateArrowButton(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

look at that. four args, one header, zero drama. we love a low-maintenance function fr fr 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

XmCreateArrowButton creates an instance of an ArrowButton widget and returns the associated widget ID. that's the vibe. you ask, it builds, it hands you back an ID like a little friendship bracelet so you can find it again later 🫶

here's what you're handing over:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. yes, your new arrow button needs a home. it's giving "moving back in with your parents but make it Motif." 🏠
• name — specifies the name of the created widget. name it something cute. or don't. it's your world. ✨
• arglist — specifies the argument list. this is where you pile up your attribute/value pairs like a little stack of friendship bracelets. 📚
• argcount — specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). yes bestie, you have to count them. the function will not do it for you. that's the whole bit. 🔢

for a complete definition of ArrowButton and its associated resources, see XmArrowButton(3). that's where the actual lore lives. this page is just the creation function, okurrr 💜

👑 RETURN 👑

returns the ArrowButton widget ID. that's it. that's the return. no error codes, no plot twists, no jump scares. just an ID, handed to you, with love. 🎀
