πŸ’– XmCreatePushButton πŸ’–

okay so bestie, we're in the <Xm/PushB.h> girlie section of the library calls, and this one is literally the moment a PushButton gets born. no cap. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

XmCreatePushButton β€” the PushButton widget creation function. it makes buttons. pushable ones. iconic behaviour honestly πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

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

look at that signature. four args. she's simple, she's clean, she's serving 🫢


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

XmCreatePushButton creates an instance of a PushButton widget and returns the associated widget ID. that's it. that's the whole job. she ate and left no crumbs πŸ’…

now let's do a lil vibe check on the args, one by one, no skipping:

  • parent β€” Specifies the parent widget ID. it's giving "who's your mother" energy, because every widget needs a home 🏠
  • name β€” Specifies the name of the created widget. name her something cute, she deserves it πŸŽ€
  • arglist β€” Specifies the argument list. all the attribute/value pairs you wanna slide in there πŸ“‹
  • argcount β€” Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). yes, you have to count them yourself. it's a whole thing, but we move πŸ’€

For a complete definition of PushButton and its associated resources, see XmPushButton(3). go read that one too, it's the main character of this whole situation πŸ”₯


🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns the PushButton widget ID. boom. you got a widget ID. put it somewhere safe bestie, you're gonna need it 🫢



and that's the whole page fr fr πŸ’œ this little gem lives in the XmCreatePushButton(library call) manual, so if you ever forget where you found her, that's the vibe. mwah, go push some buttons πŸŽ€βœ¨πŸŒΈ
