🌸 NAME 🌸

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

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: these functions create an instance of a BulletinBoard widget and return the associated widget ID. 🫶

these routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. yes, the ... at the end is doing the heavy lifting. she ate. 💅

• XmVaCreateBulletinBoard — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. lowkey just a lil shortcut, no biggie. ✨
• XmVaCreateManagedBulletinBoard — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. the managed one. the main character. 👑

now the args, one by one, because we do not skip details in this house:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. like, who's your mom. who's holding you. 🍼
• name — specifies the name of the created widget. give her a name, she deserves one. 🎀
• ... — specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you go feral with your custom resources. 🔥
