πŸ’– XmCreateWorkArea πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is XmCreateWorkArea, a library call straight out of the Xm manual β€” and yes, it's giving "I make widgets and I make them cute." πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateWorkArea β€” a function that creates a RowColumn WorkArea. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so XmCreateWorkArea creates an instance of a RowColumn widget and hands you back the associated widget ID. the whole vibe: the widget gets created with XmNrowColumnType set to XmWORK_AREA. no cap. ✨

here's the tea on the arguments, one by one:

  • parent β€” specifies the parent widget ID. it's the momager of the situation, everything hangs off it. πŸ‘‘
  • name β€” specifies the name of the created widget. give her a name, she deserves one. πŸ’–
  • arglist β€” specifies the argument list. this is where all the attribute/value pairs live.
  • argcount β€” specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). yes, you have to count them yourself, the widget is not psychic. πŸ™ˆ

if you want the full, complete definition of RowColumn and all its associated resources (iykyk), go read XmRowColumn(3). it's the deep lore. πŸ“š
