XMTEXTGETMAXLENGTH(3)

💖 XmTextGetMaxLength(3) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is a library call from the XmText girlies and it's honestly so simple it's iconic. it's a Text function that goes and peeks at the value of the current maximum allowable length of a text string entered from the keyboard. yes, that's the whole job. she's not complicated, she's just ✨necessary✨.

🌸 NAME 🌸

XmTextGetMaxLength — a Text function that accesses the value of the current maximum allowable length of a text string entered from the keyboard. literally that's it, that's her whole personality 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Text.h>
int XmTextGetMaxLength(
Widget widget);

like, two lines. we love a low-maintenance queen 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

XmTextGetMaxLength accesses the value of the current maximum allowable length of the text string in the Text widget entered from the keyboard. so it's not asking "how long is the string rn" — it's asking "how long is the string allowed to get". different question, bestie, and this function knows the difference 💜

the maximum allowable length prevents the user from entering a text string larger than this limit. it's giving bouncer at the club. you're not getting past this number, no cap 🚫

note that the maximum allowable length is the same as the value of the widget's XmNmaxLength resource. like, same value, two doors into the same room. iykyk.

• widget — Specifies the Text widget ID 🫶

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns the integer value that indicates the string's maximum allowable length that can be entered from the keyboard. an int. that's the whole return. no structs, no pointers, no drama. she ate and left no crumbs 💅✨
