XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar - Man Page
A RowColumn widget convenience creation function
Synopsis
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h> Widget XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar( Widget parent, String name);
Description
XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of type XmMENU_BAR 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 button_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the number of buttons in the menu minus 1. 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 arguments. 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. Following are the additional two arguments, in order:
- label
The label string, of type XmString
- mnemonic
The mnemonic, of type KeySym
- resource_name
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 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 simple menu creation routines. For a complete definition of RowColumn and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3).
