💖 XmCreateMenuShell — the MenuShell widget creation function ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the XmCreateMenuShell page from the library call manual 🌸 this one is short, sweet, and honestly a little iconic. it's the girl whose whole job is making a MenuShell widget and handing you back its widget ID. no notes. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS

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

like… look at her. four args. no drama. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

XmCreateMenuShell creates an instance of a MenuShell widget and returns the associated widget ID. that's the whole vibe. she makes one, she hands it to you, she moves on. main character energy fr fr 👑

okay so here's what each arg is doing, one by one, no skipping:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID 🫶 this is who's adopting your new MenuShell.
• name — specifies the name of the created widget. yes bestie, it needs a name. give it one.
• arglist — specifies the argument list. this is where your attribute/value pairs live.
• argcount — specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). count them. actually count them. 😭

and if you want the complete definition of MenuShell and all its associated resources, you do NOT get it here — go read XmMenuShell(3). that's the deep lore. iykyk 📚

🌈 RETURN

Returns the MenuShell widget ID. that's it. that's the gift. take it and go slay. 💜
