 Name

    XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox - a RowColumn widget convenience creation func-
    tion

 Syntax


    #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

    Widget XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox (parent, name, callback, arg...)
    Widget parent;
    String name;
    XtCallbackProc callback;


 Description

    XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of
    type XmWORKAREA and returns the associated widget ID.  This routine uses
    the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention.

    This routine creates a CheckBox and its ToggleButtonGadget children.  A
    CheckBox is similar to a RadioBox, except that more than one button can
    be selected at a time.  The name of each button is buttonn, where n is
    an integer from 0 to one minus the number of buttons in the menu.  But-
    tons 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.

    callback
            Specifies a callback procedure to be called when a button's value
            changes.  This callback function is added to each button after
            creation as the button's XmNvalueChangedCallback.  The callback
            function is called when a button's value changes, and the button
            number is returned in the clientdata field.

    The variable portion of the argument list consists of groups of argu-
    ments.  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:

    XmVaCHECKBUTTON
            This is followed by four additional arguments.  The set specifies
            one button in the CheckBox and some of its resource values.  Fol-
            lowing are the additional four arguments, in this order:

            label   The label string, of type XmString.

            mnemonic
                    The mnemonic, of type KeySym. This is ignored in this
                    release.

            accelerator
                    The accelerator, of type String. This is ignored in this
                    release.

            acceleratortext
                    The accelerator text, of type XmString. This is ignored
                    in this release.

    resourcename
            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 RowColumn widget.

    XtVaTypedArg
            This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies
            a resource and its value for the RowColumn widget. 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.

    For more information on variable-length argument lists, see the X Toolkit
    Intrinsics documentation.

    A number of resources exist specifically for use with this and other sim-
    ple menu creation routines.  For a complete definition of RowColumn and
    its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(Xm).

 Return value

    Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
