XMVACREATETEXT(3)

💖 NAME 💖

XmVaCreateText, XmVaCreateManagedText — a couple of Text widget convenience creation functions, bestie. They make a Text widget for you so you don't have to do all the boring setup yourself. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Text.h>

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

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so. These functions create an instance of a ToggleButtonGadget widget and return the associated widget ID. (Yes, that's literally what it says — we are quoting it exactly, no cap. 💀) These routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention.

XmVaCreateText is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget. Slay, it's giving "just do it for me."

XmVaCreateText is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. (Not me noticing it says XmVaCreateText here again — that's the original's wording, so I'm passing it straight through to you, character for character. 🙈)

• parent — Specifies the parent widget ID. Your widget's new home. 🏠
• name — Specifies the name of the created widget. Give it a cute little name, it deserves one. 🌸
• ... — Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. This is where you get to be the main character and change the vibes. ✨

For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3). Go read it, fr fr, it's the whole lore. 📖

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns the Text widget ID. That's it, that's the tea. 👑

And that's the whole page, bestie! 🫶 This was XmVaCreateText(library call) — that's the title and the footer, both living their best life on this page. No version or date beyond that, so take this little sign-off as the official vibe check: go forth and create your Text widgets, you absolute icon. 💖✨🎀
