.SH "NAME"

\fBXmCreatePulldownMenu\fP \(em A RowColumn widget convenience creation function

.iX "XmCreatePulldownMenu"

.iX "creation functions" "XmCreatePulldownMenu"

.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.PP

.nf

#include <Xm/RowColumn\&.h>

\fBWidget \fBXmCreatePulldownMenu\fP\fR(

\fBWidget \fBparent\fR\fR,

\fBString \fBname\fR\fR,

\fBArgList \fBarglist\fR\fR,

\fBCardinal \fBargcount\fR\fR);

.fi

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP

\fBXmCreatePulldownMenu\fP creates an instance of a

RowColumn widget of type \fBXmMENU_PULLDOWN\fP and returns

the associated widget ID\&.

.IP "\fIparent\fP" 10

Specifies the parent widget ID

.IP "\fIname\fP" 10

Specifies the name of the created widget

.IP "\fIarglist\fP" 10

Specifies the argument list

.IP "\fIargcount\fP" 10

Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list

(\fIarglist\fP)

.PP

Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list

(\fIarglist\fP)\&.

When this function is used to create the Pulldown

menu pane, a MenuShell widget is automatically created as the parent of the

menu pane\&. If the widget specified

by the \fIparent\fP parameter is a

Popup or a Pulldown menu pane, the MenuShell

widget is created as a child of the \fIparent\fP MenuShell; otherwise, it

is created as a child of the specified \fIparent\fP widget\&.

.PP

\fBXmCreatePulldownMenu\fP is

provided as a convenience function for creating RowColumn

widgets configured to operate as Pulldown menu panes and is not implemented as

a separate widget class\&.

.PP

A Pulldown menu pane displays a

3-D shadow, unless the feature is disabled by the application\&.

The shadow appears around the edge of the menu pane\&.

.PP

A Pulldown menu pane is used with submenus that are to be

attached to a CascadeButton or a

CascadeButtonGadget\&. This is the case for all menu panes

that are part of a PulldownMenu system (a MenuBar), the menu pane

associated with an OptionMenu, and any menu panes that cascade from

a Popup menu pane\&. Pulldown menu panes that are to be associated with an

OptionMenu must be created before the OptionMenu is created\&.

.PP

The Pulldown menu pane must be attached to a CascadeButton or CascadeButtonGadget

that resides in a MenuBar, a Popup menu pane, a Pulldown menu pane, or an

OptionMenu\&. It is attached with the button resource \fBXmNsubMenuId\fP\&.

.PP

A MenuShell widget is required between the Pulldown menu pane and its

parent\&.

If the application uses this convenience function for creating a

Pulldown menu pane, the MenuShell is automatically created as the real

parent of the menu pane; otherwise,

it is the application\&'s responsibility to create

the MenuShell widget\&.

.PP

To function correctly when incorporated into a menu, the Pulldown menu pane\&'s

hierarchy must be considered\&. This hierarchy depends on the

type of menu system that is being built, as follows:

.IP "   \(bu" 6

If the Pulldown menu pane is to be pulled down from a MenuBar, its \fIparent\fP

must be the MenuBar\&.

.IP "   \(bu" 6

If the Pulldown menu pane is to be pulled down from a Popup or another

Pulldown menu pane, its \fIparent\fP must be that Popup or Pulldown menu pane\&.

.IP "   \(bu" 6

If the Pulldown menu pane is to be pulled down from an OptionMenu, its

\fIparent\fP must be the same as the OptionMenu parent\&.

.PP

PullDown menu panes support tear-off capabilities

for tear-off menus through \fBXmRowColumn\fP

resources\&.

For a complete definition of RowColumn and its associated resources, see

\fBXmRowColumn\fP(3)\&.

.SH "RETURN"

.PP

Returns the RowColumn widget ID\&.
