XMLISTSELECTITEM(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for XmListSelectItem from the library call section 💖 this one's all about making a List widget pick an item, and it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

XmListSelectItem — A List function that selects an item in the list

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       #include <Xm/List.h>
       void XmListSelectItem(
       Widget widget,
       XmString item,
       Boolean notify);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

XmListSelectItem highlights and adds to the selected list the first item in the list that matches item. it's giving "main character gets picked first" energy, no cap. 💖

here's the tea on the arguments:

• widget — Specifies the ID of the List widget from whose list an item is selected. basically, tell it which List we're talking about 🫶
• item — Specifies the item to be selected in the List widget. If item appears more than once in the List, only the first occurrence is matched. so if your fave is duplicated, it only notices the first one, periodt 💅
• notify — Specifies a Boolean value that when TRUE invokes the selection callback for the current mode. From an application interface view, calling this function with notify True is indistinguishable from a user-initiated selection action. When notify is FALSE, no callbacks are called. so like, TRUE = it's giving real user selection vibes, FALSE = silent treatment, no callback drama 😭
