al_enable_menu_event_source(3alleg5)

💅 al_enable_menu_event_source

okay bestie, so this is from the Allegro 5 API — the <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h> era, the manual page is al_enable_menu_event_source(3alleg5), and honestly? it's giving "small function, big main character energy." ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE *al_enable_menu_event_source(ALLEGRO_MENU *menu)

like yeah that's the whole signature. one ALLEGRO_MENU *menu in, one ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE * out. no cap. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this does is it enables a unique event source for this menu. 🫶

And not just for the menu itself — it and all of its sub-menus will use this event source. the whole little menu family, sharing one source, together, as a treat. 👑

Also, real talk: it is safe to call this multiple times on the same menu. so if you're the type to call it twice just to be sure (no judgement, we've all been there 💀), you're fine.

Then it returns the event source. that's it, that's the vibe check. 💖
