function
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu (parent, name, option_label,
option_mnemonic, button_set, callback, arg...)
Widget parent;
String name;
XmString option_label;
KeySym option_mnemonic;
int button_set;
XtCallbackProc callback;
DESCRIPTIONXmVaCreateSimpleOptionMenu 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 conven‐
tion.
This routine creates an OptionMenu and its Pulldown submenu containing
PushButtonGadget or CascadeButtonGadget children. The name of each but‐
ton is button_n, where n is an integer from 0 to one minus the number
of buttons in the menu. The name of each separator is separator_n,
where n is an integer from 0 to one minus the number of separators in
the menu. Buttons and separators are named and created in the order in
which they are specified in the variable portion of the argument list.
Specifies the parent widget ID Specifies the name of the created widget
Specifies the label string to be used on the left side of the Option‐
Menu. Specifies a keysym for a key that, when pressed by the user,
posts the associated Pulldown MenuPane. Specifies which PushButtonGad‐
get is initially set. The value is the integer n that corresponds to
the nth PushButtonGadget specified in the variable portion of the argu‐
ment list. Only a PushButtonGadget can be set, and only PushButtonGad‐
gets are counted in determining the integer n. The first PushButtonGad‐
get is number 0. 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 func‐
tion 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 argu‐
ments. 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: 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 this order: The label
string, of type XmString. The mnemonic, of type KeySym. The accelera‐
tor, of type String. The accelerator text, of type XmString. This is
followed by no additional arguments. It specifies one separator in the
OptionMenu's Pulldown submenu. This is followed by no additional argu‐
ments. It specifies one separator in the OptionMenu's Pulldown sub‐
menu. The separator type is XmDOUBLE_LINE. 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. 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 this order: The resource name, of type String. The type of the
resource value supplied, of type String. The resource value (or a
pointer to the resource value, depending on the type and size of the
value), of type XtArgVal. The size of the resource value in bytes, of
type int. 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 iden‐
tifies the names of these widgets (or gadgets) and the associated
OptionMenu areas. Option Menu Label Gadget--“OptionLabel” Option Menu
Cascade Button--“OptionButton”

kit 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(3X).
