XmTabListRemoveTabs(library call)										 XmTabListRemoveTabs(library call)

NAME

       XmTabListRemoveTabs -- A convenience function that removes noncontiguous tabs

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmTabList XmTabListRemoveTabs(
       XmTabList oldlist,
       Cardinal *position_list,
       Cardinal 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 applica-
       tion can recover the allocated space by calling XmTabListFree.
