✨ XmVaCreateIconGadget ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the IconGadget convenience creation functions page 💖 this is a <library call>, aka the vibe is library, and we're about to make widgets with basically zero effort. slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/IconG.h>

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

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

no cap, that's the whole thing. two functions, both returning a Widget, both taking a parent, a name, and then a little ... moment ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so these functions create an instance of a IconGadget widget and hand you back the associated widget ID. that's it, that's the job. 💅

and the way they do it? these routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. iykyk. it's giving classic X Toolkit energy.

here's the breakdown of the two besties:

• XmVaCreateIconGadget — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. lowkey just a lil shortcut so you don't have to type the whole thing yourself 🫶
• XmVaCreateManagedIconGadget — a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. same energy, but managed, which is the main character version ngl 👑

and now the args, fr fr:

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. your widget needs a home, bestie 🏠
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. give it a cute name, it deserves one 🎀
• ... — Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you get to customize and make it yours ✨

for the full tea on IconGadget and all its associated resources, go read XmIconGadget(3). not me sending you to another page but like... it's necessary 😭

💫 RETURN 💫

Returns the IconGadget widget ID. iconic. you get a widget ID back, go forth and use it 🌈
