XmTabListRemoveTabs

A convenience function that removes noncontiguous tabs

Format

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmTabList XmTabListRemoveTabs
XmTabList
oldlistCardinal
*position_listCardinal
position_count

DESCRIPTION

XmTabListRemoveTabs removes noncontiguous tabs from a tab list. The function creates a new tab list by copying the contents of oldlist and removing all tabs whose corresponding positions appear in the position_list array. A warning message is displayed if a specified position is invalid; for example, if the value is a number greater than the number of tabs in the tab list.

tablist
Specifies the tab list. The function deallocates oldlist and the tabs it contains after extracting the required information.

position_list
Specifies an array of the tab positions to be removed. The position of the first tab in the list is 0 (zero), the position of the second tab is 1, and so on.

position_count
Specifies the number of elements in the position_list.

RETURN

If oldlist or position_list is NULL, or position_count is 0 (zero), returns oldlist. Otherwise, this function returns the new tab list. The function allocates space to hold the returned tab list. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XmTabListFree.
