✨ NAME ✨

XmCreateSimplePopupMenu — a RowColumn widget convenience creation function, and bestie, it's giving effortless popup menu 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
Widget XmCreateSimplePopupMenu(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so. XmCreateSimplePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of type XmMENU_POPUP and hands you back the associated widget ID. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

This routine creates a Popup menu pane and its button children. and the naming scheme?? so organized of it:

• every button is named button_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the number of buttons in the menu minus 1
• every separator is named separator_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the number of separators in the menu minus 1
• every title is named label_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the number of titles in the menu minus 1

and here's the part you gotta internalize, no cap: buttons, separators, and titles are named and created in the order in which they are specified in the RowColumn simple menu creation resources supplied in the argument list. order matters. periodt. 🔥

🌸 the arguments 🌸

• parent — specifies the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell
• name — specifies the name of the created widget
• arglist — specifies the argument list
• argcount — specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist)

🎀 the resources 🎀

A number of resources exist specifically for use with this and other simple menu creation routines. ✨

and listen — the ONLY button types allowed in the XmNbuttonType resource are:

• XmCASCADEBUTTON
• XmPUSHBUTTON
• XmRADIOBUTTON
• XmCHECKBUTTON
• XmTITLE
• XmSEPARATOR
• XmDOUBLE_SEPARATOR

not me being dramatic but if you try to sneak in anything else, that's not on the list. don't do it. 🙈
