NAME [Toc] [Back]
DtMenuButton - the MenuButton widget class
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <Dt/MenuButton.h>
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The DtMenuButton widget is a command widget that complements the menu
cascading functionality of an XmCascadeButton widget. As a complement
to the XmCascadeButton widget, DtMenuButton can only be instantiated
outside a MenuPane; the application must use XmCascadeButton widget
inside a MenuPane.
The DtMenuButton widget belongs to a subclass of the XmLabel class.
Visually, the DtMenuButton widget consists of a label string and a
menu glyph. The menu glyph always appears on the right end of the
widget and, by default, is a downward pointing arrow.
The DtMenuButton widget has an implicitly created submenu attached to
it. The submenu is a popup MenuPane and has this DtMenuButton widget
as its parent. The name of the implicitly created submenu is obtained
by adding submenu_ as a prefix to the name of this DtMenuButton
widget. The widget ID of the submenu can be obtained by doing an
XtGetValues on the DtNsubMenuId resource of this DtMenuButton widget.
The implicitly created submenu must not be destroyed by the user of
this widget.
The submenu can be popped up by pressing the menu post Button (see the
XmNmenuPost resource of the XmRowColumn(3) widget) anywhere on the
DtMenuButton widget.
Widget subclassing is not supported for the DtMenuButton widget class.
Classes [Toc] [Back]
The DtMenuButton widget inherits behavior and resources from the Core,
Composite, XmPrimitive and XmLabel classes.
The class pointer is dtMenuButtonWidgetClass.
The class name is DtMenuButtonWidget.
New Resources [Toc] [Back]
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the
application to specify data. The application can also set the resource
values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To
reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, the
application must remove the DtN or DtC prefix and use the remaining
letters. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a
.Xdefaults file, the application must remove the Dt prefix and use the
remaining letters (in either lower case or upper case, but including
any underscores between words). The codes in the access column

indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by
using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not
applicable (N/A).

DtNsubMenuId DtCMenuWidget Widget NULL SG
DtNcascadingCallback [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the list of callbacks that is called before the
popping up of the attached submenu. The reason for the
callback is DtCR_CASCADING.
DtNcascadePixmap [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the pixmap displayed as the menu glyph. If no
pixmap is specified, a downward pointing arrow is displayed.
DtNsubMenuId [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the widget ID of the popup MenuPane to be
associated with this DtMenuButton widget. The popup MenuPane
must be created with this DtMenuButton as its parent. This
resource cannot be specified at the time of widget creation.
The implicit submenu is automatically destroyed by
DtMenuButton when this resource is set.
Inherited Resources [Toc] [Back]
The DtMenuButton widget inherits behavior and resources from the
following named superclasses. For a complete description of each
resource, see the man page for that superclass.

Callback Information [Toc] [Back]
A pointer to the following structure is passed to each DtMenuButton
callback:
typedef struct {
int reason;
XEvent *event;
} XmAnyCallbackStruct;
- 3 - Formatted: January 24, 2005
DtMenuButton(library call) DtMenuButton(library call)
The reason argument indicates why the callback was invoked; it is
always DtCR_CASCADING when the DtNcascadingCallback is issued.
The event argument points to the XEvent that triggered the callback or
NULL if the callback was not triggered by an XEvent.
