NAME
XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu -- A RowColumn widget convenience creation
function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h> Widget XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu( Widget parent, String name, XtCallbackProc callback);
DESCRIPTION
XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of
type XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. This routine
uses the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention.
This routine creates a Popup menu pane and its button children. The
name of each button is button_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) 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 (zero) 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.
parent Specifies the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell
name Specifies the name of the created widget
- 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 CascadeButtonGadget or a PushButtonGadget, the callback is added as the button's XmNactivateCallback, and it is called when the button 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 arguments. 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. The following list describes the possible first arguments in each group of varargs.
- XmVaCASCADEBUTTON
- This is followed by two additional arguments. The set specifies one button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The button created is a CascadeButtonGadget. Following 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 specifies one button in the PopupMenu 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 specifies one button in the PopupMenu 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 specifies one button in the PopupMenu 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 PopupMenu. 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 PopupMenu.
- XmVaDOUBLE_SEPARATOR
- This is followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one separator in the PopupMenu. The separator type is XmDOUBLE_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 specifies a resource and its value for the RowColumn widget. A resource 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 returned 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.
