Widget XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu (parent, name, callback, arg...)
Widget parent; String name; XtCallbackProccall‐

DESCRIPTIONXmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu creates an instance of a RowColumn widget of
type XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. This routine
uses the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling conven‐
tion.
This routine creates a Popup MenuPane and its button children. The
name of each button is button_n, where n is an integer from 0 to one
minus the number of buttons in the menu. The name of each separator is
separator_n, where n is an integer from 0 to one minus the number of
separators in the menu. The name of each title is label_n, where n is
an integer from 0 to one minus the number of titles in the menu. But‐
tons, separators, and titles are named and created in the order in
which they are specified in the variable portion of the argument list.
Specifies the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell Specifies the
name of the created widget Specifies a callback procedure to be called
when a button is activated or when its value changes. This callback
function is added to each button after creation. For a CascadeButton‐
Gadget or a PushButtonGadget, the callback is added as the button's
XmNactivateCallback, and it is called when the button is activated.
For a ToggleButtonGadget, the callback is added as the button's XmNval‐
ueChangedCallback, and it is called when the button's value changes.
The button number is returned in the client_data field.
The variable portion of the argument list consists of groups of argu‐
ments. The first argument in each group is a constant or a string and
determines which arguments follow in that group. The last argument in
the list must be NULL. Following are the possible first arguments in
each group of varargs: This is followed by two additional arguments.
The set specifies one button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource
values. The button created is a CascadeButtonGadget. Following are
the additional two arguments, in this order: The label string, of type
XmString. The mnemonic, of type KeySym. This is followed by four
additional arguments. The set specifies one button in the PopupMenu
and some of its resource values. The button created is a PushButton‐
Gadget. Following are the additional four arguments, in this order:
The label string, of type XmString. The mnemonic, of type KeySym. The
accelerator, of type String. The accelerator text, of type XmString.
This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies one
button in the PopupMenu and some of its resource values. The button
created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Following are the additional four
arguments, in this order: The label string, of type XmString. The
mnemonic, of type KeySym. The accelerator, of type String. The accel‐
erator text, of type XmString. This is followed by four additional
arguments. The set specifies one button in the PopupMenu and some of
its resource values. The button created is a ToggleButtonGadget. Fol‐
lowing are the additional four arguments, in this order: The label
string, of type XmString. The mnemonic, of type KeySym. The accelera‐
tor, of type String. The accelerator text, of type XmString. This is
followed by one additional argument. The pair specifies a title Label‐
Gadget in the PopupMenu. Following is the additional argument: The
title string, of type XmString. This is followed by no additional
arguments. It specifies one separator in the PopupMenu. This is fol‐
lowed by no additional arguments. It specifies one separator in the
PopupMenu. The separator type is XmDOUBLE_LINE. This is followed by
one additional argument, the value of the resource, of type XtArgVal.
The pair specifies a resource and its value for the RowColumn widget.
This is followed by four additional arguments. The set specifies a
resource and its value for the RowColumn widget. A resource type con‐
version is performed if necessary. Following are the additional four
arguments, in this order: The resource name, of type String. The type
of the resource value supplied, of type String. The resource value (or
a pointer to the resource value, depending on the type and size of the
value), of type XtArgVal. The size of the resource value in bytes, of
type int. This is followed by one additional argument of type
XtVarArgsList. This argument is a nested list of varargs returned by
XtVaCreateArgsList.

kit Intrinsics documentation.
A number of resources exist specifically for use with this and other
simple menu creation routines. For a complete definition of RowColumn
and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3X).
RETURN VALUE
Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
