NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu  -  A RowColumn widget convenience
 creation function

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

       Widget   XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu    (parent,    name,
       post_from_button, callback, arg...)
               Widget parent;
               String name;
               int post_from_button;
               XtCallbackProc callback;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn
 widget of  type  XmMENU_PULLDOWN  and  returns  the
       associated  widget  ID. This routine uses the ANSI C variable-length
 argument list (varargs) calling convention.

       This routine creates a Pulldown MenuPane  and  its  button
       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. The name of each title is label_n, where
       n is an integer from 0 to one minus the number  of  titles
       in the menu. Buttons, separators, and titles are named and
       created in the order in which they are  specified  in  the
       variable portion of the argument list.

       This  routine also attaches the PulldownMenu to a CascadeButton
 or CascadeButtonGadget in the parent. The PulldownMenu
  is then posted from this button.  Specifies the widget
 ID of the parent of the MenuShell.  Specifies the name
       of  the  created  widget.   Specifies the CascadeButton or
       CascadeButtonGadget in the parent to  which  the  Pulldown
       MenuPane is attached. The value is the integer n that corresponds
 to the nth CascadeButton  or  CascadeButtonGadget
       specified  for  the  parent  of  the Pulldown MenuPane.  A
       Pulldown MenuPane can be attached only to a  CascadeButton
       or  CascadeButtonGadget,  and only CascadeButtons and CascadeButtonGadgets
 are counted in determining  the  integer
       n.  The first CascadeButton or CascadeButtonGadget is number
 0.  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.  Following  are the possible first arguments in each
       group of varargs:  This  is  followed  by  two  additional
       arguments.   The set specifies one button in the PulldownMenu
 and some of its resource values.  The button  created
       is  a  CascadeButtonGadget.   Following are the additional
       two arguments, in this order: The label  string,  of  type
       XmString.  The mnemonic, of type KeySym.  This is followed
       by four additional arguments.  The set specifies one  button
  in  the PulldownMenu 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 four additional  arguments.
   The  set specifies one button in the PulldownMenu
       and some of its resource values.  The button created is  a
       ToggleButtonGadget.   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 four additional arguments.  The set
       specifies one button in the PulldownMenu and some  of  its
       resource values.  The button created is a ToggleButtonGadget.
  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
       one additional  argument.   The  pair  specifies  a  title
       LabelGadget  in  the PulldownMenu.  Following is the additional
 argument: The title string, of type XmString.  This
       is  followed by no additional arguments.  It specifies one
       separator in the PulldownMenu.  This  is  followed  by  no
       additional  arguments.   It specifies one separator in the
       PulldownMenu.  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 RowColumn widget.  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 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.

       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(3X).
