XmVaCreate...lldownMenu(3) Library Functions Manual XmVaCreate...lldownMenu(3)

NAME
       XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu -- A RowColumn widget convenience creation
       function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<Xm/RowColumn.h>
       Widget XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu(
       Widget parent,
       String name,
       int post_from_button,
       XtCallbackProc callback);

DESCRIPTION
       XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu  creates an	instance of a RowColumn	widget
       of type XmMENU_PULLDOWN and returns the	associated  widget  ID.	  This
       routine uses the	ANSI C variable-length argument	list (varargs) calling
       convention.

       This routine creates a Pulldown menu pane and its button	children.  The
       name  of	 each  button is button_n, where n is an integer from 0	to the
       number of buttons in the	menu minus 1.  The name	of each	 separator  is
       separator_n,  where  n is an integer from 0 to the number of separators
       in the menu minus 1.  The name of each title is label_n,	where n	is  an
       integer	from  0	 (zero)	 to  the number	of titles in the menu minus 1.
       Buttons,	separators, and	titles are named and created in	the  order  in
       which they are specified	in the variable	portion	of the argument	list.

       This  routine also attaches the PulldownMenu to a CascadeButton or Cas-
       cadeButtonGadget	in the parent.	The PulldownMenu is then  posted  from
       this button.

       parent	 Specifies the widget ID of the	parent of the MenuShell.

       name	 Specifies the name of the created widget.

       post_from_button
		 Specifies  the	 CascadeButton	or  CascadeButtonGadget	in the
		 parent	to which the Pulldown  menu  pane  is  attached.   The
		 value	is  the	integer	n that corresponds to the nth Cascade-
		 Button	or CascadeButtonGadget specified for the parent	of the
		 Pulldown menu pane.  A	Pulldown menu  pane  can  be  attached
		 only to a CascadeButton or CascadeButtonGadget, and only Cas-
		 cadeButtons and CascadeButtonGadgets are counted in determin-
		 ing the integer n.  The first CascadeButton or	CascadeButton-
		 Gadget	is number 0 (zero).

       callback	 Specifies  a callback procedure to be called when a button is
		 activated or when its value changes.  This callback  function
		 is added to each button after creation.  For a	CascadeButton-
		 Gadget	 or  a	PushButtonGadget, the callback is added	as the
		 button's XmNactivateCallback, and it is called	when the  but-
		 ton  is activated.  For a ToggleButtonGadget, the callback is
		 added as the  button's	 XmNvalueChangedCallback,  and	it  is
		 called	when the button's value	changes.  The button number is
		 returned in the client_data field.

       The  variable  portion of the argument list consists of groups of argu-
       ments.  The first argument in each group	is a constant or a string  and
       determines  which arguments follow in that group.  The last argument in
       the list	must be	NULL.  Following are the possible first	 arguments  in
       each group of varargs:

       XmVaCASCADEBUTTON
		 This  is followed by two additional arguments.	The set	speci-
		 fies one button in the	PulldownMenu and some of its  resource
		 values.  The button created is	a CascadeButtonGadget. Follow-
		 ing are the additional	two arguments, in order:

		 label	   The label string, of	type XmString

		 mnemonic  The mnemonic, of type KeySym

       XmVaPUSHBUTTON
		 This is followed by four additional arguments.	The set	speci-
		 fies one button in the	PulldownMenu and some of its  resource
		 values.  The  button created is a PushButtonGadget. Following
		 are the additional four arguments, in order:

		 label	   The label string, of	type XmString

		 mnemonic  The mnemonic, of type KeySym

		 accelerator
			   The accelerator, of type String

		 accelerator_text
			   The accelerator text, of type XmString

       XmVaRADIOBUTTON
		 This is followed by four additional arguments.	The set	speci-
		 fies one button in the	PulldownMenu and some of its  resource
		 values. The button created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Following
		 are the additional four arguments, in order:

		 label	   The label string, of	type XmString

		 mnemonic  The mnemonic, of type KeySym

		 accelerator
			   The accelerator, of type String

		 accelerator_text
			   The accelerator text, of type XmString

       XmVaCHECKBUTTON
		 This is followed by four additional arguments.	The set	speci-
		 fies  one button in the PulldownMenu and some of its resource
		 values. The button created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Following
		 are the additional four arguments, in order:

		 label	   The label string, of	type XmString.

		 mnemonic  The mnemonic, of type KeySym

		 accelerator
			   The accelerator, of type String

		 accelerator_text
			   The accelerator text, of type XmString

       XmVaTITLE This is followed by one additional argument. The pair	speci-
		 fies  a  title	 LabelGadget in	the PulldownMenu. Following is
		 the additional	argument:

		 title	   The title string, of	type XmString

       XmVaSEPARATOR
		 This is followed by no	additional arguments. It specifies one
		 separator in the PulldownMenu.

       XmVaDOUBLE_SEPARATOR
		 This is followed by no	additional arguments. It specifies one
		 separator in the PulldownMenu.	The separator type  is	XmDOU-
		 BLE_LINE.

       resource_name
		 This is followed by one additional argument, the value	of the
		 resource, of type XtArgVal. The pair specifies	a resource and
		 its value for the RowColumn widget.

       XtVaTypedArg
		 This is followed by four additional arguments.	The set	speci-
		 fies a	resource and its value for the RowColumn widget. A re-
		 source	 type  conversion is performed if necessary. Following
		 are the additional four arguments, in order:

		 name	   The resource	name, of type String.

		 type	   The type of the resource value  supplied,  of  type
			   String.

		 value	   The	resource  value	 (or a pointer to the resource
			   value, depending  on	 the  type  and	 size  of  the
			   value), of type XtArgVal.

		 size	   The	size  of  the resource value in	bytes, of type
			   int.

       XtVaNestedList
		 This  is  followed  by	 one  additional  argument   of	  type
		 XtVarArgsList.	 This argument is a nested list	of varargs re-
		 turned	by XtVaCreateArgsList.

       For more	information on	variable-length	 argument  lists,  see	the  X
       Toolkit Intrinsics documentation.

       A  number  of  resources	exist specifically for use with	this and other
       simple menu creation routines.  For a complete definition of  RowColumn
       and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3).

RETURN
       Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
