NAME
XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu-A RowColumn widget convenience
creation function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu (parent, name, callback, arg...)
Widget parent;
String name;
XtCallbackProccallback;
DESCRIPTION
XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn
widget of type XmMENUPOPUP 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
1 (printed 6/8/92)

constant or a string and determines which arguments follow
in that group. The last argument in the list must be NULL.

varargs:
