XmCreatePopupMenu(3X) UNIX System V XmCreatePopupMenu(3X)
NAME
XmCreatePopupMenu - a RowColumn widget convenience creation function.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmCreatePopupMenu (parent, name, arglist, argcount)
Widget parent;
String name;
ArgList arglist;
Cardinal argcount;
DESCRIPTION
XmCreatePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of type
XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. When using this
function to create the Popup MenuPane, a MenuShell widget is
automatically created as the parent of the MenuPane. The parent of the
MenuShell widget is the widget indicated by the parent parameter.
XmCreatePopupMenu is provided as a convenience function for creating
RowColumn widgets configured to operate as Popup MenuPanes and is not
implemented as a separate widget class.
The PopupMenu is used as the first MenuPane within a PopupMenu system;
all other MenuPanes are of the Pulldown type. A Popup MenuPane displays
a 3-D shadow, unless the feature is disabled by the application. The
shadow appears around the edge of the MenuPane.
The Popup MenuPane must be created as the child of a MenuShell widget in
order to function properly when it is incorporated into a menu. If the
application uses this convenience function for creating a Popup MenuPane,
the MenuShell is automatically created as the real parent of the
MenuPane. If the application does not use this convenience function to
create the RowColumn to function as a Popup MenuPane, it is the
application's responsibility to create the MenuShell widget.
To access the PopupMenu, the application must first position the widget
using the XmMenuPosition function and then manage it using XtManageChild.
parent Specifies the parent widget ID
name Specifies the name of the created widget
