 XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu(Xm)  6 January 1993  XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu(Xm)


 Name

    XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu - a RowColumn widget convenience creation func-
    tion

 Syntax


    #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

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


 Description

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

    This routine creates a Popup MenuPane and its button 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.  The name of each separator is separa-
    torn, where n is an integer from 0 to one minus the number of separators
    in the menu.  The name of each title is labeln, where n is an integer
    from 0 to one minus the number of titles in the menu.  Buttons, separa-
    tors, and titles are named and created in the order in which they are
    specified in the variable portion of the argument list.

    parent  Specifies the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell

    name    Specifies the name of the created widget

    callback
            Specifies a callback procedure to be called when a button is
            activated or when its value changes.  This callback function is
            added to each button after creation.  For a CascadeButtonGadget
            or a PushButtonGadget, the callback is added as the button's
            XmNactivateCallback, and it is called when the button is
            activated.  For a ToggleButtonGadget, the callback is added as
            the button's XmNvalueChangedCallback, and it is called when the
            button's value changes.  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:

    XmVaCASCADEBUTTON
            This is followed by two additional arguments. The set specifies
            one button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The
            button created is a CascadeButtonGadget. Following are the addi-
            tional two arguments, in this order:

            label   The label string, of type XmString.

            mnemonic
                    The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

    XmVaPUSHBUTTON
            This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies
            one button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The
            button created is a PushButtonGadget. Following are the addi-
            tional four arguments, in this order:

            label   The label string, of type XmString.

            mnemonic
                    The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

            accelerator
                    The accelerator, of type String.

            acceleratortext
                    The accelerator text, of type XmString.

    XmVaRADIOBUTTON
            This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies
            one button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The
            button created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Following are the addi-
            tional four arguments, in this order:

            label   The label string, of type XmString.

            mnemonic
                    The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

            accelerator
                    The accelerator, of type String.

            acceleratortext
                    The accelerator text, of type XmString.

    XmVaCHECKBUTTON
            This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies
            one button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The
            button created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Following are the addi-
            tional four arguments, in this order:

            label   The label string, of type XmString.

            mnemonic
                    The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

            accelerator
                    The accelerator, of type String.

            acceleratortext
                    The accelerator text, of type XmString.

    XmVaTITLE
            This is followed by one additional argument. The pair specifies a
            title LabelGadget in the PopupMenu.

            title   The title string, of type XmString.

    XmVaSEPARATOR
            This is followed by no additional arguments.  It specifies one
            separator in the PopupMenu.

    XmVaDOUBLESEPARATOR
            This is followed by no additional arguments.  It specifies one
            separator in the PopupMenu.  The separator type is XmDOUBLELINE.

    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.

    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).
