 Name

    XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar - a RowColumn widget convenience creation func-
    tion

 Syntax


    #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

    Widget XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar (parent, name, arg...)
    Widget parent;
    String name;


 Description

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

    This routine creates a MenuBar and its CascadeButtonGadget children.  The
    name of each button is buttonn, where n is an integer from 0 to one
    minus the number of buttons in the menu.  Buttons 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

    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:

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

            label   The label string, of type XmString.

            mnemonic
                    The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

    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).
