XmAddToPostFromList(3X) UNIX System V XmAddToPostFromList(3X)
NAME
XmAddToPostFromList - a RowColumn function that makes a menu
accessible from more than one widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
void XmAddToPostFromList(
Widget menu,
Widget post_from_widget);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
XmAddToPostFromList makes a menu accessible from more than
one widget. After a menu is once created, this function may
be used to make that menu accessible from a second widget.
The process may be repeated indefinitely. In other words,
where an application would use XmCreatePopupMenu or
XmCreatePulldownMenu or their equivalent to create a new
menu identical to one that already exists, it can use this
function to reuse that earlier menu.
If menu refers to a Popup menu, then the
post_from_widgetwidget can now pop up the specified menu.
The actual posting of the menu occurs as it always does,
either through an event handler, or the automatic popup menu
support (see the XmRowColumn(3) reference page).
If menu refers to a Pulldown menu, its ID is placed in the
XmNsubMenuId resource of the specified post_from_widget. In
this case, the post_from_widget widget must be either a
CascadeButton or a CascadeButtonGadget.
Note that this function manipulates the internal structures
themselves, not a copy of them.
menu Specifies the ID of the RowColumn widget
containing the menu (Popup or Pulldown) to be made
accessible from the widget.
post_from_widget
Specifies the widget ID of the widget which will
now be able to post the menu specified by menu.
For a complete definition of RowColumn and its associated
resources, see XmRowColumn(3).
