NAME
XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu-A RowColumn widget convenience
creation function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu (parent, name, post_from_button,
callback, arg...)
Widget parent;
String name;
int post_from_button;
XtCallbackProccallback;
DESCRIPTION
XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu creates an instance of a
RowColumn widget of type XmMENUPULLDOWN 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.
parent Specifies the widget ID of the parent of the
MenuShell.
name Specifies the name of the created widget.
post_from_button
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
1 (printed 6/8/92)
XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu(3XOSXmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu(3X)
integer n. The first CascadeButton or
CascadeButtonGadget is number 0.
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 PulldownMenu 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 PulldownMenu 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.
2 (printed 6/8/92)

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:
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 PulldownMenu and some
of its resource values. The button created is a
ToggleButtonGadget. Following are the additional
four arguments, in this order:

XmVaSEPARATOR
This is followed by no additional arguments. It
specifies one separator in the PulldownMenu.
XmVaDOUBLESEPARATOR
This is followed by no additional arguments. It
specifies one separator in the PulldownMenu. The
separator type is XmDOUBLELINE.
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.

the X Toolkit Intrinsics documentation.
A number of resources exist specifically for use with this
and other simple menu creation routines. For a complete
