okay so these functions create an instance of a ToggleButtonGadget widget and return the widget ID that comes with it. 👑 They do this using the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention — that's the ... in the synopsis, she's doing a lot of work fr fr.

The XmVaCreateTextField function is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget.

The XmVaCreateTextField function is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget.

not me reading that twice — yes, the page literally says XmVaCreateTextField both times, so I'm telling you exactly what it says. 💀 no edits, no guessing, we report and we move.

Here's what the arguments are giving:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. it's the one holding the whole situation together 🫶
• 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. that's where you go feral with the resources ✨

For a complete definition of TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3). go read her, she's iconic.
