DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu creates an instance of  a  RowColumn
  widget of type XmMENU_OPTION and returns the associated
 widget ID. This routine uses the ANSI  C  variablelength
 argument list (varargs) calling convention.

       This  routine  creates an OptionMenu and its Pulldown submenu
 containing  PushButtonGadget  or  CascadeButtonGadget
       children.  The name of each button is button_n, where n is
       an integer from 0 to one minus the number  of  buttons  in
       the menu. The name of each separator is separator_n, where
       n is an integer from 0 to one minus the number of  separators
  in  the  menu.  Buttons and separators are named and
       created in the order in which they are  specified  in  the
       variable portion of the argument list.  Specifies the parent
 widget ID Specifies the name  of  the  created  widget
       Specifies  the label string to be used on the left side of
       the OptionMenu.  Specifies a keysym for a key  that,  when
       pressed  by  the user, posts the associated Pulldown MenuPane.
  Specifies which PushButtonGadget is initially  set.
       The  value  is  the  integer n that corresponds to the nth
       PushButtonGadget specified in the variable portion of  the
       argument  list.  Only  a  PushButtonGadget can be set, and
       only PushButtonGadgets  are  counted  in  determining  the
       integer n. The first PushButtonGadget is number 0.  Specifies
 a callback procedure to be called when  a  button  is
       activated.  This callback function is added to each button
       after creation as the button's  XmNactivateCallback.   The
       callback  function  is  called when a button is activated,
       and 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.  Following  are the possible first arguments in each
       group of varargs: This  is  followed  by  four  additional
       arguments.   The  set  specifies one button in the OptionMenu's
 Pulldown submenu and some of its  resource  values.
       The  button  created is a PushButtonGadget.  Following are
       the additional four arguments, in this  order:  The  label
       string,  of  type XmString.  The mnemonic, of type KeySym.
       The accelerator, of type String.  The accelerator text, of
       type  XmString.   This  is followed by no additional arguments.
  It specifies one  separator  in  the  OptionMenu's
       Pulldown submenu.  This is followed by no additional arguments.
  It specifies one  separator  in  the  OptionMenu's
       Pulldown  submenu.   The  separator type is XmDOUBLE_LINE.
       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 Pulldown submenu.  This  is
       followed  by four additional arguments.  The set specifies
       a resource and its value  for  the  Pulldown  submenu.   A
       resource  type conversion is performed if necessary.  Following
 are the additional four arguments, in  this  order:
       The  resource  name,  of  type  String.   The  type of the
       resource value supplied, of  type  String.   The  resource
       value  (or  a  pointer to the resource value, depending on
       the type and size of the value), of  type  XtArgVal.   The
       size of the resource value in bytes, of type int.  This is
       followed by one additional argument of type XtVarArgsList.
       This  argument  is  a  nested  list of varargs returned by
       XtVaCreateArgsList.

       The user can specify resources in a resource file for  the
       automatically  created  widgets  and gadgets of an OptionMenu.
  The following list identifies the  names  of  these
       widgets  (or gadgets) and the associated OptionMenu areas.
       Option Menu Label Gadget--"OptionLabel" Option  Menu  Cascade
 Button--"OptionButton"

       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
