XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu
NAME
XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu - A RowColumn widget
convenience creation function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu (parent, name, callback, arg...)
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 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.
- 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. Following are 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 this 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 this 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 this 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 this 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 this 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.
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).
