XMVACREATEARROWBUTTON(3)

💖 XmVaCreateArrowButton 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the XmVaCreateArrowButton page, part of the XmVaCreateArrowButton(library call) manual situation ✨. Two functions, one very cute job: they pop a whole ArrowButton widget into existence for you. Iconic behaviour fr.

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmVaCreateArrowButton, XmVaCreateManagedArrowButton — the ArrowButton widget convenience creation functions. that's it, that's the job 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/ArrowB.h>

Widget XmVaCreateArrowButton(
Widget parent,
String name,
...);

Widget XmVaCreateManagedArrowButton(
Widget parent,
String name,
...);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea 🫖: these functions create an instance of an ArrowButton widget and hand you back the widget ID that goes with it. And the way they do that is with the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. very demure, very varargs 💜

• XmVaCreateArrowButton — this one is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. just a lil shortcut, no cap.
• XmVaCreateManagedArrowButton — and this one is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. managed!! main character energy 👑

now the args, one by one:

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. it's giving "who's your parent", answer it.
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. give the baby a name 🎀
• ... — Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you go feral with your overrides, lowkey.

if you want the complete definition of ArrowButton and all its associated resources, bestie, you gotta go read XmArrowButton(3). that's the real lore. 📖

⭐ RETURN ⭐
