XMCREATESIMPLEPULLDOWNMENU(3)

💅 NAME 💅

XmCreateSimplePulldownMenu — ok so it's literally a RowColumn widget convenience creation function, and bestie, "convenience" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here because it builds you a whole menu in one call 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So XmCreateSimplePulldownMenu makes you an instance of a RowColumn widget, type XmMENU_PULLDOWN, and hands you back the widget ID like the little gift it is 🎁

This routine creates a Pulldown menu pane and its button children. Not me doing the whole nursery thing but okay:

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

And the order?? Buttons, separators, and titles are named <em>and</em> created <strong>in the order they are specified</strong> in the RowColumn simple menu creation resources you supplied in the argument list. So it's giving ✨sequential main character energy✨, no reordering, no cap.

• parent — the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell 🌸
• name — the name of the created widget, iconic
• arglist — the argument list 💖
• argcount — how many attribute/value pairs are chillin' in the argument list (<code>arglist</code>) 🔢

A whole bunch of resources exist specifically for use with this and other simple menu creation routines, iykyk. So like, heads up: the <strong>only</strong> button types allowed in the XmNbuttonType resource are:

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