NAMEXmCreatePopupMenu — A RowColumn widget convenience creation function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmCreatePopupMenu(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);
DESCRIPTIONXmCreatePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of type
XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. When this function
is used to create the Popup menu pane, a MenuShell widget is automati‐
cally created as the parent of the menu pane. 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 menu panes and is not
implemented as a separate widget class.
The PopupMenu is used as the first menu pane within a PopupMenu system;
all other menu panes are of the Pulldown type. A Popup menu pane dis‐
plays a 3-D shadow, unless the feature is disabled by the application.
The shadow appears around the edge of the menu pane.
The Popup menu pane 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
menu pane, the MenuShell is automatically created as the real parent of
the menu pane. If the application does not use this convenience func‐
tion to create the RowColumn to function as a Popup menu pane, 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.
parent Specifies the parent widget ID
name Specifies the name of the created widget

through XmRowColumn resources. For a complete definition of RowColumn
and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3).
