XMVACREATEDATAFIELD(3)

💖 NAME 💖

XmVaCreateDataField, XmVaCreateManagedDataField — bestie, these are the DataField widget convenience creation functions. That's the whole vibe, okay? ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Xm/DataF.h>

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

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, these functions make an instance of a DataField widget and hand you back the associated widget ID. That's it, that's the job. 🫶 They use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention — fancy way of saying they take a lil' ... and you just keep throwing arguments at them, no cap.

The XmVaCreateDataField function is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. Iconic behavior, honestly.

The XmVaCreateManagedDataField function is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. Same energy, managed edition 👑

Now the arguments, bestie, listen up:

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. Your widget needs a home, and this is it 🏠
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. Name your baby 🎀
• ... — Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. This is where you go feral with the customization 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns the DataField widget ID. That's the prize, bestie, go slay with it 🔥
