menu_item_value(3X) — MISCELLANEOUS LIBRARY FUNCTIONS
NAME
menu_item_value: set_item_value, item_value − set and get menus item values
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
int set_item_value(ITEM ∗item, int bool);
int item_value(ITEM ∗item);
DESCRIPTION
Unlike single-valued menus, multi-valued menus enable the end-user to select one or more items from a menu. set_item_value sets the selected value of the item — TRUE (selected) or FALSE (not selected). set_item_value may be used only with multi-valued menus. To make a menu multi-valued, use set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off to turn off the option O_ONEVALUE. [see menu_opts(3X)].
item_value returns the select value of item, either TRUE (selected) or FALSE (unselected).
RETURN VALUE
set_item_value returns one of the following:
| E_OK | − | The routine returned successfully. | |
| E_SYSTEM_ERROR | − | System error. | |
| E_REQUEST_DENIED | − | The menu driver could not process the request. |
NOTES
The header file menu.h automatically includes the header files eti.h and curses.h.
