XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu(library call)

NAME
       XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu -- A RowColumn widget convenience creation
       function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
       Widget XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu(
       Widget parent,
       String name,
       XmString option_label,
       KeySym option_mnemonic,
       int button_set,
       XtCallbackProc callback);

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

       This routine creates an OptionMenu and its Pulldown submenu containing
       PushButtonGadget or 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.  The name of each separator is
       separator_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the number of
       separators in the menu minus 1.  Buttons and separators 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

       option_label
                 Specifies the label string to be used on the left side of the
                 OptionMenu.

       option_mnemonic
                 Specifies a keysym for a key that, when pressed by the user,
                 posts the associated Pulldown menu pane.

       button_set
                 Specifies which PushButtonGadget is initially set.  The value
                 is the integer n that corresponds to the nth PushButtonGadget
                 specified in the variable portion of the argument list.  Only
                 a PushButtonGadget can be set, and only PushButtonGadgets are
                 counted in determining the integer n.  The first
                 PushButtonGadget is number 0 (zero).

       callback  Specifies a callback procedure to be called when a button is
                 activated.  This callback function is added to each button
                 after creation as the button's XmNactivateCallback.  The
                 callback function is called when a button is activated, and
                 the button number is returned in the client_data field.

       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:

       XmVaPUSHBUTTON
                 This is followed by four additional arguments. The set
                 specifies one button in the OptionMenu's Pulldown submenu and
                 some of its resource values. The button created is a
                 PushButtonGadget. Following are the additional four
                 arguments, in order:

                 label     The label string, of type XmString

                 mnemonic  The mnemonic, of type KeySym

                 accelerator
                           The accelerator, of type String

                 accelerator_text
                           The accelerator text, of type XmString

       XmVaSEPARATOR
                 This is followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one
                 separator in the OptionMenu's Pulldown submenu.

       XmVaDOUBLE_SEPARATOR
                 This is followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one
                 separator in the OptionMenu's Pulldown submenu. The separator
                 type is XmDOUBLE_LINE.

       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 Pulldown submenu.

       XtVaTypedArg
                 This is followed by four additional arguments. The set
                 specifies a resource and its value for the Pulldown submenu.
                 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.

       The user can specify resources in a resource file for the automatically
       created widgets and gadgets of an OptionMenu. The following list
       identifies the names of these widgets (or gadgets) and the associated
       OptionMenu areas:

       Option Menu Label Gadget
                 OptionLabel

       Option Menu Cascade Button
                 OptionButton

       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).

RETURN
       Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
