mitem_current(3)                Library calls               mitem_current(3)


NAME

       mitem_current - set and get current_menu_item


SYNOPSIS

       #include <menu.h>

       int set_current_item(MENU *menu, ITEM *item);
       ITEM *current_item(const MENU *menu);

       int set_top_row(MENU *menu, int row);
       int top_row(const MENU *menu);

       int item_index(const ITEM *item);


DESCRIPTION

       The function set_current_item sets the current item (the item on which
       the menu cursor is positioned).  current_item returns a pointer to the
       current item in the given menu.

       The function set_top_row sets the top row of the menu to show the given
       row (the top row is initially 0, and is reset to this value whenever
       the O_ROWMAJOR option is toggled).  The item leftmost on the given row
       becomes current.  The function top_row returns the number of the top
       menu row being displayed.

       The function item_index returns the (zero-origin) index of item in the
       menu's item pointer list.


RETURN VALUE

       current_item returns a pointer (which may be NULL).  It does not set
       errno.

       top_row and item_index return ERR (the general curses error value) if
       their menu parameter is NULL.

       set_current_item and set_top_row return one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

       E_BAD_STATE
            Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.

       E_NOT_CONNECTED
            No items are connected to the menu.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
            System error occurred (see errno(3)).


PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not
       supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The SVr4 menu library documentation specifies the top_row and
       index_item error value as -1 (which is the value of ERR).
