NAME¶
XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu — A RowColumn widget convenience
creation function "XmVaCreateSimplePopup\%Menu" "creation
functions" "XmVaCreateSimplePopup\%Menu"
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu(
Widget parent,
String name,
XtCallbackProc callback);
DESCRIPTION¶
XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of
type
XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. This routine
uses the ANSI C variable-length argument list (
varargs) calling
convention.
This routine creates a Popup menu pane and its button 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. The name of each separator is
separator_n, where
n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the
number of separators in the menu minus 1. The name of each title is
label_ n, where
n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the
number of titles in the menu minus 1. Buttons, separators, and titles are
named and created in the order in which they are specified in the variable
portion of the argument list.
- parent
- Specifies the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell
- name
- Specifies the name of the created widget
- callback
- 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.
The following list describes the possible first arguments in each group of
varargs.
- XmVaCASCADEBUTTON
- This is followed by two additional arguments. The set specifies one button
in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The button created is a
CascadeButtonGadget. Following are the additional two arguments, in
order:
- label
- The label string, of type XmString
- mnemonic
- The mnemonic, of type KeySym
- XmVaPUSHBUTTON
- This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies one
button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The button
created is a PushButtonGadget. Following are the additional four
arguments, in order:
- label
- The label string, of type XmString
- mnemonic
- The mnemonic, of type KeySym
- accelerator
- The accelerator, of type String
- accelerator_text
- The accelerator text, of type XmString
- XmVaRADIOBUTTON
- This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies one
button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The button
created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Following are the additional four
arguments, in order:
- label
- The label string, of type XmString
- mnemonic
- The mnemonic, of type KeySym
- accelerator
- The accelerator, of type String
- accelerator_text
- The accelerator text, of type XmString
- XmVaCHECKBUTTON
- This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies one
button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The button
created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Following are the additional four
arguments, in order:
- label
- The label string, of type XmString
- mnemonic
- The mnemonic, of type KeySym
- accelerator
- The accelerator, of type String
- accelerator_text
- The accelerator text, of type XmString
- XmVaTITLE
- This is followed by one additional argument. The pair specifies a title
LabelGadget in the PopupMenu. Following is the additional argument:
- title
- The title string, of type XmString
- XmVaSEPARATOR
- This is followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one separator in
the PopupMenu.
- XmVaDOUBLE_SEPARATOR
- This is followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one separator in
the PopupMenu. The separator type is XmDOUBLE_LINE.
- 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
- 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
- This is followed by one additional argument of type XtVarArgsList.
This argument is a nested list of varargs returned by
XtVaCreateArgsList.

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
