XMCREATEQUESTIONDIALOG(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateQuestionDialog — the MessageBox QuestionDialog convenience creation function, aka the girl who pops up just to ask you a lil question 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie so XmCreateQuestionDialog is a convenience creation function — meaning it does the boring setup for you — and what it makes is a DialogShell plus an unmanaged MessageBox child of that DialogShell. yes, unmanaged, as in it's not on screen yet, she's just getting ready backstage 🎀

A QuestionDialog exists to get the answer to a question from the user. it comes with a symbol, a message, and three buttons. the default symbol is a question mark (iconic, obviously), and the default button labels are OK, Cancel, and Help ✨

to pop the QuestionDialog up, use XtManageChild and pass the MessageBox as the widget parameter 🫶 to pop it back down, use XtUnmanageChild. that's the whole vibe check, no cap.

XmCreateQuestionDialog also forces the value of the Shell resource XmNallowShellResize to True. it's not a suggestion, she's doing it, periodt 💀

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID 🧚
• name — specifies the name of the created widget 🌸
• arglist — specifies the argument list 📋
• argcount — specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist) 🔢

for a complete definition of MessageBox and its associated resources, see XmMessageBox(3). go read it, i'm literally begging 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns the MessageBox widget ID. that's your girl. take care of her 👑
