`XmStringCreateSimple`

A compound string function that creates a compound string in the language environment of a widget

    #include <Xm/Xm.h>

    XmString XmStringCreateSimple

    char * text

## DESCRIPTION

`XmStringCreateSimple` creates a compound string with a text component and a charset tag. It derives the character set from the current language environment.

The routine attempts to derive a character set from the value of the LANG environment variable. If this does not result in a valid character set, the routine uses a vendor-specific default. If the vendor has not specified a different value, this default is ISO8859-1.

The function will allocate space to hold the returned compound string. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling `XmStringFree`.

`NOTE:` This routine is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases. It has been replaced by `XmStringCreateLocalized`.

text

- Specifies a NULL-terminated string to be used as the text component of the compound string.

## RETURN

Returns a new compound string.
