💖 XmVaCreateColorSelector — the ColorSelector widget creation glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so you want a ColorSelector widget and you want it fast? this is the convenience-creation duo, straight out of the <Xm/ColorS.h> cinematic universe, and it's giving "I don't have time to spell out every single resource by hand" energy. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/ColorS.h>

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

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

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so these functions do the thing: they create an instance of a ColorSelector widget and hand you back the widget ID it got assigned. 🫶 and the way they take their arguments? it's the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. very demure, very varargs. 💅

XmVaCreateColorSelector is the convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. no cap.

XmVaCreatemanagedColorSelector is the convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. iconic.

now for the args, bestie, let's go one by one:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. every widget needs a home. 🏠
• name — specifies the name of the created widget. name her, she deserves it. 👑
• ... — specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you get to be extra. 🌈

for the complete definition of ColorSelector and its associated resources, go read XmColorSelector(3). seriously. the lore is there. 📖

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns the ColorSelector widget ID. that's it, that's the gift. 🎁
