XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu(3X) XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu(3X) NAME XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu - A RowColumn widget convenience creation function SYNOPSIS #include <Xm/RowColumn.h> Widget XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu (parent, name, option_label, op- tion_mnemonic, button_set, callback, arg...) Widget parent; String name; XmString option_label; KeySym option_mnemonic; int button_set; XtCallbackProc callback; DESCRIPTION XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of type XmMENU_OPTION and returns the associated widget ID. This routine uses the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling conven- tion. This routine creates an OptionMenu and its Pulldown submenu containing PushButtonGadget or CascadeButtonGadget children. The name of each but- ton 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 Option- Menu. Specifies a keysym for a key that, when pressed by the user, posts the associated Pulldown MenuPane. Specifies which PushButtonGad- get is initially set. The value is the integer n that corresponds to the nth PushButtonGadget specified in the variable portion of the argu- ment list. Only a PushButtonGadget can be set, and only PushButtonGad- gets are counted in determining the integer n. The first PushButtonGad- get is number 0. Specifies a callback procedure to be called when a button is activated. This callback function is added to each button af- ter creation as the button's XmNactivateCallback. The callback func- tion is called when a button is activated, and the button number is re- turned in the client_data field. The variable portion of the argument list consists of groups of argu- ments. 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 accelera- tor, 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 argu- ments. It specifies one separator in the OptionMenu's Pulldown sub- menu. 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 re- source 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 iden- tifies the names of these widgets (or gadgets) and the associated Op- tionMenu areas. Option Menu Label Gadget--"OptionLabel" Option Menu Cascade Button--"OptionButton" 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). RETURN VALUE Returns the RowColumn widget ID. SEE ALSO XmCreateOptionMenu(3X), XmCreateRowColumn(3X), XmCreateSimpleOption- Menu(3X), XmRowColumn(3X) XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu(3X)
