🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so these functions create an instance of an ArrowButtonGadget widget and return the associated widget ID. and the way they do it?? these routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. fancy, lowkey. 💅

• XmVaCreateArrowButtonGadget — this one is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget.
• XmVaCreateManagedArrowButtonGadget — and this one is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. yes the "Managed" is doing heavy lifting in the name, she said what she said. ✨

here's the argument lineup, fr fr:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. your gadget needs a home, and this is it. 🏠
• 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. go off, customize her. 🔥
