XMVACREATEMANAGEDLIST(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XmVaCreateList, XmVaCreateManagedList — a couple of ✨convenience✨ creation functions for the List widget, bestie. They're literally just here to make your life easier 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/List.h>

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

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. these two functions are the "just make me a List widget, i'm busy" girlies. they spin up an instance of a List widget and hand you back the widget ID that goes with it 🫶 and the way they take their arguments? ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. yes ma'am, varargs. iykyk 💅

• XmVaCreateList — the convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. she's the standard-issue one, no extra drama.
• XmVaCreateManagedList — the convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. same energy, but managed, so the geometry girlies handle her for you ✨

and here's what the args mean, no gatekeeping:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. your widget's mom, basically 👑
• name — specifies the name of the created widget. name her something cute 🎀
• ... — specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you get to be the main character and customize 🔥

if you want the full tea on List and every single resource attached to it, go read XmList(3). no cap, it's all there.

💜 RETURN 💜

returns the List widget ID. that's it. that's the return value. slay 💅
