✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the XmTrackingLocate(library call) page. XmTrackingLocate — A Toolkit function that provides a modal interaction. she's literally the modal-interaction function for context help, and she's serving old-school compatibility 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Widget XmTrackingLocate(
Widget widget,
Cursor cursor,
Boolean confine_to);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so XmTrackingLocate provides a modal interface for selection of a component. It is intended to support context help. This function is implemented as XmTrackingEvent.

🚨 NOTE: This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases. It has been replaced by XmTrackingEvent. so like, it's giving legacy, not main character anymore 😭
  • widget — Specifies the widget ID of a widget to use as the basis of the modal interaction. That is, the widget within which the interaction must occur, usually a top-level shell.
  • cursor — Specifies the cursor to be used for the pointer during the interaction. This is a standard X cursor name.
  • confine_to — Specifies whether or not the cursor should be confined to widget

🎀 RETURN 🎀

Returns the widget or gadget that contains the pointer when BSelect is released or a key is released. If no widget or gadget contains the pointer, the function returns NULL. so if nothing's under the pointer, it's a whole NULL moment, no cap 🙈

XmTrackingEvent(3).

okay bestie, that's the entire XmTrackingLocate(library call) page. the footer didn't give us extra source/version or date tea, just that library-call tag, so we're signing off with it, mwah 💖🫶💅
