#include <menu.h>
int set_menu_opts(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts); Menu_Options menu_opts(const MENU *menu);
int menu_opts_on(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts); int menu_opts_off(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
DESCRIPTION¶
The function set_menu_opts sets all the given menu's option bits (menu option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).
The function menu_opts_on turns on the given option bits, and leaves others alone.
The function menu_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves others alone.
The function menu_opts returns the menu's current option bits.
The following options are defined (all are on by default):
- O_ONEVALUE
- Only one item can be selected for this menu.
- O_SHOWDESC
- Display the item descriptions when the menu is posted.
- O_ROWMAJOR
- Display the menu in row-major order.
- O_IGNORECASE
- Ignore the case when pattern-matching.
- O_SHOWMATCH
- Move the cursor to within the item name while pattern-matching.
- O_NONCYCLIC
- Don't wrap around next-item and previous-item, requests to the other end of the menu.
- O_MOUSE_MENU
- If user clicks with the mouse and it does not fall on the currently active menu, push KEY_MOUSE and the MEVENT data back on the queue to allow processing in another part of the calling program.
RETURN VALUE¶
Except for menu_opts, each routine returns one of the following:
- E_OK
- The routine succeeded.
- E_SYSTEM_ERROR
- System error occurred (see errno(3)).
- E_POSTED
- The menu is already posted.
PORTABILITY¶
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
