The SimpleMenu widget is a container for the menu entries. It is a
|
||
|
|
direct subclass of shell, and is should be created with
|
||
|
|
\fBXtCreatePopupShell\fP, not \fBXtCreateManagedWidget\fP. This is the
|
||
|
|
only part of the menu that
|
||
|
|
actually is associated with a window. The SimpleMenu serves as the glue to bind
|
||
|
|
the individual menu entries together into a menu.

The \fBXawPositionSimpleMenu\fP action will, by default, popup the

SimpleMenu with its label (or first entry) directly under the

|
under the pointer, when the menu is popped up. This allows the

application to offer the user a default menu entry that can be selected

Highlight the menu entry that is currently under the pointer.

Only a item that is highlighted will be notified when the \fBnotify\fP
|

action is invoked. The look of a highlighted entry is determined by

the menu entry.

Unhighlights the currently highlighted menu item, and returns it to

Notifies the menu entry that is currently highlighted that is has been

appropriate action.

If the SimpleMenu widget is to be used as a pulldown menu then the

\fBXawPositionSimpleMenu\fP and \fBMenuPopup\fP actions to the

translation table of the widget that will be popping up the menu. The

\fBMenuPopup\fP action is described in \fI\*(xT\fP.

\fBXawPositionSimpleMenu\fP is a global action procedure registered by

|

Translation writers should be aware that Xt does not register grabs on

``don't care'' modifiers, and therefore the left hand side of the
