XMDROPSITERETRIEVE(3)

💖 XmDropSiteRetrieve 💖

okay bestie, so we're in the XmDropSiteRetrieve page of the library call manual, and honestly? it's giving "quiet little function that does exactly one thing and does it flawlessly." no notes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

XmDropSiteRetrieve — a Drag and Drop function that retrieves resource values set on a drop site 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/DragDrop.h>
void XmDropSiteRetrieve(
Widget widget,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

XmDropSiteRetrieve extracts the values for the resources you ask for, straight out of the drop site that widget points at. like, you name it, it goes and gets it. 💅

and here's the tea: an initiator can also snag info about the current drop site by passing the associated DragContext widget in as the widget parameter to this routine. iconic behavior honestly. the initiator can retrieve all of the drop site resources using this method — except XmNdragProc and XmNdropProc. those two are NOT invited to the party, no cap. 🚫

• widget — specifies the ID of the widget that encloses the drop site. (yes, encloses. it's the wrapper, the vibe container, the outer layer. 🧚)
• arglist — specifies the argument list.
• argcount — specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist).

for a complete definition of DropSite and all its associated resources, go read XmDropSite(3). bestie, it's literally right there, it has the whole lore. 📖

and that's the whole page, bestie — it's the library call manual, and the date slot is just vibing empty (the source didn't hand us one, so we're not making one up, periodt 💀). go retrieve those resource values, you absolute main character. ✨💖🌸🦋🎀
