✨ NAME ✨

XmListDeletePositions — bestie, it's a List function that deletes items from a list based on an array of positions 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <Xm/List.h>
void XmListDeletePositions(
Widget widget,
int *position_list,
int position_count);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ok so XmListDeletePositions deletes noncontiguous items from a list 🌸 like, not a lil row of them all next to each other, we're being ✨selective✨. The function deletes all items whose corresponding positions appear in the position_list array. no cap, every single one in there gets yeeted.

⚠️ A warning message is displayed if a specified position is invalid — that means the value is 0, a negative integer, or a number greater than the number of items in the list. so pls don't do that, it's giving chaos 😭
  • widget — Specifies the ID of the List widget 🫶 (yes, the actual widget, hand it over)
  • position_list — Specifies an array of the item positions to be deleted. The position of the first item in the list is 1; the position of the second item is 2; and so on. ⭐ so it's 1-indexed, not 0-indexed, do not come at me with a 0 unless you want that warning message 💀
  • position_count — Specifies the number of elements in the position_list. 🔥 like, how many positions are we actually working with here

ok that's the whole thing bestie, mwah 💋 this was pulled straight from the library call manual, page XmListDeletePositions — go forth and delete those positions, you absolute icon 👑✨💖
