NAME

       XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu   —   A   RowColumn   widget   convenience   creation  function
       "XmVaCreateSimpleOption\%Menu" "creation functions" "XmVaCreateSimpleOption\%Menu"

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

RETURN

       Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
