✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateDropDown — the default DropDown widget creation function, aka the girl who literally makes DropDown widgets appear out of thin air 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/DropDown.h>
Widget XmCreateDropDown(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal arg_count);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so bestie, listen up: XmCreateDropDown creates an instance of a DropDown widget and hands you back the associated widget ID. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's reliable, she's serving main character energy ✨

now let's do a vibe check on the arguments, because you will be passing these:

• parent — the parent widget ID. yeah, the widget needs a mom, everybody needs a mom 🫶
• name — the name of the created widget. give her a cute name, she deserves it 💖
• arglist — the argument list. all your attribute/value pairs go here, no cap.
• arg_count — the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). yes you have to count them yourself, tragic but iconic 😭

for a complete definition of DropDown and its associated resources, pls go read XmDropDown(3). that's where the real lore lives, iykyk 📖

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns the DropDown widget ID. that's the whole thing. she ate and left no crumbs 👑
