pupmode(3G)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

pupmode − provides access to the pop-up menu bitplanes

SPECIFICATION

C
pupmode()

FORTRAN
suboutine pupmod

Pascal
procedure pupmode;

DESCRIPTION

pupmode enables the two highest-order bitplanes for writing.  The window manager uses these bitplanes to display pop-up menus. An application process can access these bitplanes and retain the input focus without conflicting with other processes.  Although processes can write in these bitplanes at any time, it is recommended they write to them when they have the input focus.  Carefully consider exceptions to this rule.
