XMVACREATETOGGLEBUTTON(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the library call zone 💖 we're doing two functions today, and they're basically twins:

• XmVaCreateToggleButton
• XmVaCreateManagedToggleButton

they're a ToggleButton widget convenience creation functions situation ✨ that's it, that's the name section, slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/ToggleB.h>

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

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

like. look at them. matching outfits. iconic 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what these do is create an instance of a ToggleButtonGadget widget, and then hand you back the associated widget ID. cute, right? 🎀

both of these routines use the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention — so yeah, the ... is doing real work, no cap.

lowkey important: the page says the XmVaCreateToggleButton function is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateWidget.

and it also says the XmVaCreateToggleButton function is a convenience routine that calls XtCreateManagedWidget. that's exactly how it's written, so that's how we're keeping it, fr fr 🙈

here's the args, bestie:

• parent — specifies the parent widget ID. your widget needs a home 💜
• name — specifies the name of the created widget.
• ... — specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. this is your moment to be extra ✨

and if you want the complete definition of ToggleButton plus all its associated resources, go read XmToggleButton(3). it's giving required reading 📚

👑 RETURN 👑
