XMVACREATEDROPDOWN(3)

💖 NAME 💖

XmVaCreateDropDown, XmVaCreateManagedDropDown — bestie, these are the DropDown widget's convenience creation functions. Yes the whole point is they're convenient. We love an easy button. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/DropDown.h>

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

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you want a DropDown widget. These two functions make one for you and hand back the widget ID like it's your iced coffee order. 🫶 They use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention, so yes, the ... is doing heavy lifting and it's serving.

• XmVaCreateDropDown — the convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. Lowkey the straightforward one.
• XmVaCreateManagedDropDown — the convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. It creates and manages, so it's giving main character energy.

Here's the tea on the arguments, bestie:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. Every icon needs a stage, periodt.
• name — specifies the name of the created widget.
• ... — the variable argument list you use to override the resource defaults. This is your moment to customize. Slay. 💅

For a complete definition of DropDown and all its associated resources, go read XmDropDown(3). No cap, it's all in there.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns the DropDown widget ID. That's it, that's the whole return. Iconic behavior honestly. ⭐
