✨ XmVaCreateHierarchy — the Hierarchy widget glow-up ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the XmVaCreateHierarchy(library call) page 💖 this is the manual for the Hierarchy widget convenience creation functions, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "just make me a widget please" energy.

🌸 NAME 🌸

XmVaCreateHierarchy, XmVaCreateManagedHierarchy — A Hierarchy widget convenience creation functions.

like... the whole point is convenience. you want a Hierarchy widget, you don't wanna do the long way, you call these. periodt 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <Xm/Hierarchy.h>

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

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

see how they both take that lil ... at the end? that's the varargs moment, we love her 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so these functions create an instance of a Hierarchy widget and return the associated widget ID. iconic. they use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention, which is why the synopsis looks all mysterious with the ... — it's not being shady, that's just how varargs roll 😭

here's the breakdown of the two functions, no gatekeeping:

• XmVaCreateHierarchy — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. no cap.
• XmVaCreateManagedHierarchy — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. also no cap.

and now the arguments, bestie, pay attention:

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. like, who's your mom. who do you belong to. that one 👑
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. name her. name her something cute. or functional, honestly, whatever slays ✨
• ... — Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you get to be the main character and change stuff 🎀

for the FULL definition of Hierarchy and all its associated resources, go read XmHierarchy(3). this page is not gonna repeat all that, it's not that kind of girl 💀
