✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateWarningDialog — the MessageBox WarningDialog convenience creation function. that's the whole name, that's the whole job. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

no cap, that's exactly how you call her. copy it character for character, she does not do typos. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

XmCreateWarningDialog is a convenience creation function that creates a DialogShell and an unmanaged MessageBox child of that DialogShell. (yes, unmanaged — she's not popping up until you say so. main character doesn't show up uninvited. 🙈)

A WarningDialog warns users of action consequences and gives them a choice of resolutions. It includes a symbol, a message, and three buttons. The default symbol is an exclamation point. The default button labels are OK, Cancel, and Help. iconic trio honestly. 💖

Use XtManageChild to pop up the WarningDialog (passing the MessageBox as the widget parameter); use XtUnmanageChild to pop it down. up and down, she's flexible like that. ✨

heads up: XmCreateWarningDialog forces the value of the Shell resource XmNallowShellResize to True. not a suggestion, not a vibe, it's forced. periodt.

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. (who's her mom, basically 🫶)
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. (name her something cute)
• 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). yes bestie, go read that one too, it's giving ✨lore✨.
