πŸ’– XmCreateCascadeButtonGadget β€” the CascadeButtonGadget creation function πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a library call page from the manual set, and the star of the show is XmCreateCascadeButtonGadget. yes it's a mouthful. no we're not shortening it. it's giving ✨ iconic long name energy ✨ and we respect it.


✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateCascadeButtonGadget β€” The CascadeButtonGadget creation function

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <Xm/CascadeBG.h>
Widget XmCreateCascadeButtonGadget(
Widget parent,
String name,

Cardinal argcount);

like look at that signature. so clean. so demure. πŸ¦‹

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

XmCreateCascadeButtonGadget creates an instance of a CascadeButtonGadget and returns the associated widget ID. that's it, that's the whole vibe β€” you ask nicely, it hands you back a widget ID. slay. πŸ’…

now let's break down the arguments one by one, because every single one matters and we are NOT skipping any:

  • parent β€” Specifies the parent widget ID. the parent MUST be a RowColumn widget. like, not optional. not "usually". it's a whole requirement. if you're not parenting it to a RowColumn, bestie, that's a you problem 😭
  • name β€” Specifies the name of the created widget.
  • arglist β€” Specifies the argument list.
  • argcount β€” Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist).
for a complete definition of CascadeButtonGadget and its associated resources, see XmCascadeButtonGadget(3). go read it. it's the lore. iykyk πŸ“–βœ¨

πŸ‘‘ RETURN πŸ‘‘

Returns the CascadeButtonGadget widget ID. one widget ID, freshly created, handed to you. periodt. 🫢


and that's the whole page, bestie πŸ’œ this one lives in the library call section of the manual, and the footer is literally just the name getting truncated again β€” XmCreateCa...uttonGadget(library call) β€” plus the library call tag. no date on this one, so no fake date from me, i'm not out here making things up. stay iconic, go parent your gadgets correctly πŸ‘‘πŸŒΈ
