# MrmInitialize(3)

Prepares an application to use MRM widget-fetching facilities

## NAME

**MrmInitialize** — Prepares an application to use MRM widget-fetching facilities

## SYNOPSIS

```
void MrmInitialize(void)
```

## DESCRIPTION

The **MrmInitialize** function must be called to prepare an application to use MRM widget-fetching facilities. You must call this function prior to fetching a widget. However, it is good programming practice to call **MrmInitialize** prior to performing any MRM operations.

**MrmInitialize** initializes the internal data structures that MRM needs to successfully perform type conversion on arguments and to successfully access widget creation facilities. An application must call **MrmInitialize** before it uses other MRM functions.
