XMSELECTIONBOXGETCHILD(3)

💅 XmSelectionBoxGetChild — the vibe check

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're talking about XmSelectionBoxGetChild, a library call from the Xm fam 🎀 (yes it lives in the XmSelectionBoxGetChild(library call) section, iykyk).

✨ NAME ✨

XmSelectionBoxGetChild — a SelectionBox function that is used to access a component 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/SelectioB.h>
Widget XmSelectionBoxGetChild(
Widget widget,
unsigned char child);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So XmSelectionBoxGetChild is literally just your little key to the SelectionBox VIP room 🔑✨ — it gets you access to a component inside a SelectionBox. The parameters you hand it are the SelectionBox widget itself plus a value that tells it which component you're trying to reach.

💀 NOTE: this routine is obsolete and only exists for compatibility with previous releases. So instead of calling XmSelectionBoxGetChild, you should call XtNameToWidget as described in the XmSelectionBox(3) reference page. Not me being old and deprecated 😭 it's giving legacy energy, but we respect our elders.

Here's the parameter tea ☕:

• widget — specifies the SelectionBox widget ID.
• child — specifies a component within the SelectionBox. These are the values that are legal for this parameter:
  • XmDIALOG_APPLY_BUTTON
  • XmDIALOG_CANCEL_BUTTON
  • XmDIALOG_DEFAULT_BUTTON
  • XmDIALOG_HELP_BUTTON
  • XmDIALOG_LIST
  • XmDIALOG_LIST_LABEL
  • XmDIALOG_OK_BUTTON
  • XmDIALOG_SELECTION_LABEL
  • XmDIALOG_SEPARATOR
  • XmDIALOG_TEXT
  • XmDIALOG_WORK_AREA

💖 RETURN 💖

It returns the widget ID of the specified SelectionBox component. But bestie, heads up: an application should not assume that the returned widget will be of any particular class. No assuming, no manifesting, no guessing the class 🙈 the widget is a mystery and we love that for it.
