✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateSelectionBox — the SelectionBox widget creation function 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So XmCreateSelectionBox creates an unmanaged SelectionBox. Periodt. 💅

A SelectionBox is the whole vibe when you need to get a selection from a list of alternatives from the user, and it comes with all of this:

• A scrolling list of alternatives 📜
• An editable text field for the selected alternative ✍️
• Labels for the list and text field 🏷️
• Three or four buttons 🔘

The default button labels are OK, Cancel, and Help. And by default, an Apply button is also created. Not me giving you four buttons when you only asked for three 🙈

Now here's the management tea: if the parent of the SelectionBox is a DialogShell, it is managed; otherwise it is unmanaged. Additional work area children may be added to the SelectionBox after creation — yes, you can keep decorating, main character energy ✨

• 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)
