NAME
XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu - a RowColumn widget convenience creation
function.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu (parent, name, option_label,
option_mnemonic, button_set, callback, arg...)
Widget parent;
String name;
XmString option_label;
KeySym option_mnemonic;
int button_set;
XtCallbackProccallback;
DESCRIPTION
XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of
type XmMENU_OPTION and returns the associated widget ID. This routine
uses the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling
convention.
This routine creates an OptionMenu and its Pulldown submenu containing
PushButtonGadget or CascadeButtonGadget 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.
Buttons and separators are named and created in the order in which they
are specified in the variable portion of the argument list.
parent Specifies the parent widget ID
name Specifies the name of the created widget
option_label
Specifies the label string to be used on the left side of the
OptionMenu.
option_mnemonic
Specifies a keysym for a key that, when pressed by the user, posts
the associated Pulldown MenuPane.
button_set
Specifies which PushButtonGadget is initially set. The value is
the integer n that corresponds to the nth PushButtonGadget
specified in the variable portion of the argument list. Only a
PushButtonGadget can be set, and only PushButtonGadgets are
counted in determining the integer n. The first PushButtonGadget
is number 0.

callback
Specifies a callback procedure to be called when a button is
activated. This callback function is added to each button after
creation as the button's XmNactivateCallback. The callback
function is called when a button is activated, and 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:
XmVaPUSHBUTTON
This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies
one button in the OptionMenu's Pulldown submenu 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.
XmVaSEPARATOR
This is followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one
separator in the OptionMenu's Pulldown submenu.
XmVaDOUBLE_SEPARATOR
This is followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one
separator in the OptionMenu's Pulldown submenu. 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 Pulldown submenu.
XtVaTypedArg
This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies
a resource and its value for the Pulldown submenu. 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.

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).
RETURN VALUE
Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
