 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar - A RowColumn widget convenience creation
      function

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
      Widget XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar(
      Widget parent,
      String name);

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of
      type XmMENU_BAR and returns the associated widget ID.  This routine
      uses the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling
      convention.

      This routine creates a MenuBar and its CascadeButtonGadget 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.  Buttons are
      named and created in the order in which they are specified in the
      variable portion of the argument list.

      parent    Specifies the parent widget ID

      name      Specifies the name of the created widget

      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.  Following are the possible first
      arguments in each group of varargs:

      XmVaCASCADEBUTTON    [Toc]    [Back]
                This is followed by two additional arguments. The set
                specifies one button in the MenuBar and some of its resource
                values. Following are the additional two arguments, in
                order:

                label     The label string, of type XmString

                mnemonic  The mnemonic, of type KeySym

      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    [Toc]    [Back]
                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    [Toc]    [Back]
                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    [Toc]    [Back]
      Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
