XmCreatePopupMenu(3X) OSF/Motif XmCreatePopupMenu(3X)NAMEXmCreatePopupMenu - A RowColumn widget convenience creation function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmCreatePopupMenu (parent, name, arglist, argcount) Wid‐
get parent; String name; ArgList arglist; Cardi‐
nal argcount;
DESCRIPTIONXmCreatePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of type
XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. When using this
function to create the Popup MenuPane, a MenuShell widget is automati‐
cally created as the parent of the MenuPane. The parent of the
MenuShell widget is the widget indicated by the parent parameter.
XmCreatePopupMenu is provided as a convenience function for creating
RowColumn widgets configured to operate as Popup MenuPanes and is not
implemented as a separate widget class.
The PopupMenu is used as the first MenuPane within a PopupMenu system;
all other MenuPanes are of the Pulldown type. A Popup MenuPane dis‐
plays a 3-D shadow, unless the feature is disabled by the application.
The shadow appears around the edge of the MenuPane.
The Popup MenuPane must be created as the child of a MenuShell widget
in order to function properly when it is incorporated into a menu. If
the application uses this convenience function for creating a Popup
MenuPane, the MenuShell is automatically created as the real parent of
the MenuPane. If the application does not use this convenience func‐
tion to create the RowColumn to function as a Popup MenuPane, it is the
application's responsibility to create the MenuShell widget.
To access the PopupMenu, the application must first position the widget
using the XmMenuPosition function and then manage it using XtMan‐
ageChild. Specifies the parent widget ID Specifies the name of the
created widget Specifies the argument list Specifies the number of
attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist)
Popup MenuPanes support tear-off capabilities for tear-off menus
through XmRowColumn resources. For a complete definition of RowColumn
and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3X).
RETURN VALUE
Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
