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.
