NAME

       XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu  --  A  RowColumn widget convenience creation
       function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
       Widget XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu(
       Widget parent,
       String name,
       XtCallbackProc callback);


DESCRIPTION

       XmVaCreateSimplePopupMenu 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 menu pane and its button children.  The
       name of each button is button_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to
       the  number of buttons in the menu minus 1.  The name of each separator
       is separator_n, where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to  the  number  of
       separators  in  the  menu  minus 1.  The name of each title is label_n,
       where n is an integer from 0 (zero) to the number of titles in the menu
       minus  1.  Buttons, separators, and titles are named and created in the
       order in which they are specified in the variable portion of the  argu-
       ment list.

       parent    Specifies the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell

       name      Specifies the name of the created widget

       callback  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 but-
                 ton is activated.  For a ToggleButtonGadget, the callback  is
                 added  as  the  button's  XmNvalueChangedCallback,  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.  The following list describes the possible first
       arguments in each group of varargs.
