πŸŽ€ NAME

okay so bestie, meet XmVaCreatePanedWindow and XmVaCreateManagedPanedWindow β€” they're PanedWindow widget convenience creation functions. that's the whole vibe: you wanna make a PanedWindow, they make it for you, no drama. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/PanedW.h>

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

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

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so these functions create an instance of a ToggleButtonGadget widget and return the associated widget ID. yes, that is literally what the page says, i'm just the messenger πŸ‘€βœ¨

these routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. so the ... at the end? that's not decoration, that's the whole point, it's giving "bring your own resources" energy. 🫢

  • XmVaCreatePanedWindow is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget.
  • XmVaCreateManagedPanedWindow is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget.
ngl the page says the second one like this: "The XmVaCreatePanedWindow function is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget." fr fr that's the text, i'm not fixing it, i'm just telling you. πŸ™ˆ

🧚 the args, one by one

  • parent β€” specifies the parent widget ID. your widget's new home, basically. 🏠
  • name β€” specifies the name of the created widget. give it a good one, it's literally its whole identity. 🌸
  • ... β€” specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is where you get to be picky about literally everything. πŸ”₯

⭐ RETURN ⭐
