XmCreatePopupMenu(Xm) UNIX System V
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 XmMENUPOPUP 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, then 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, then 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.
arglistSpecifies the argument list.
argcount
Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the
argument list (arglist).

resources, see XmRowColumn(Xm).
RETURN VALUE
Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
