NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       menu_post - write or erase menus from associated subwindows

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <menu.h>
       int post_menu(MENU *menu);
       int unpost_menu(MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The function post_menu displays a menu to its associated subwindow.  To
       trigger physical display of the subwindow, use refresh or some  equivalent
 curses routine (the implicit doupdate triggered by an curses input
       request will do). post_menu resets the selection status of all items.

       The function unpost_menu erases menu from its associated subwindow.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       These routines return one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR    [Toc]    [Back]

       E_POSTED    [Toc]    [Back]

       E_BAD_STATE    [Toc]    [Back]
	    Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.

       E_NO_ROOM    [Toc]    [Back]
	    Menu  is  too  large  for  its  window. You should consider to use
	    set_menu_format() to solve the problem.

	    The menu has not been posted.
