menu_item_value(3X)     LIBRARY FUNCTIONS     menu_item_value(3X)



NAME
     menuitemvalue:  setitemvalue, itemvalue - set  and  get
     menus item values

SYNOPSIS
     #include <menu.h>

     int setitemvalue(ITEM *item, int bool);
     int itemvalue(ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTION
     Unlike single-valued menus, multi-valued  menus  enable  the
     end-user   to   select  one  or  more  items  from  a  menu.
     setitemvalue sets the selected value of the  item  -  TRUE
     (selected)  or  FALSE (not selected).  setitemvalue may be
     used only with multi-valued menus.  To make  a  menu  multi-
     valued,  use  setmenuopts or menuoptsoff to turn off the
     option OONEVALUE.  [see menu_opts(3X)].

     itemvalue returns the select value  of  item,  either  TRUE
     (selected) or FALSE (unselected).

RETURN VALUE
     setitemvalue returns one of the following:
     E_OK             - The routine returned successfully.
     E_SYSTEM_ERROR   - System error.
     E_REQUEST_DENIED - The menu driver could not  process
                        the request.

NOTES
     The header file <menu.h> automatically includes  the  header
     files <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
