NAME

       XmCreateMenuBar -- A RowColumn widget convenience creation function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
       Widget XmCreateMenuBar(
       Widget parent,
       String name,
       ArgList arglist,
       Cardinal argcount);


DESCRIPTION

       XmCreateMenuBar  creates  an  instance  of  a  RowColumn widget of type
       XmMENU_BAR and returns the associated widget ID. It is  provided  as  a
       convenience function for creating RowColumn widgets configured to oper-
       ate as a MenuBar and is not implemented as a separate widget class.

       The MenuBar widget is generally used for building a Pulldown menu  sys-
       tem.  Typically,  a  MenuBar is created and placed along the top of the
       application window, and several  CascadeButtons  are  inserted  as  the
       children.  Each  of the CascadeButtons has a Pulldown menu pane associ-
       ated with it.  These Pulldown menu panes  must  have  been  created  as
       children  of the MenuBar.  The user interacts with the MenuBar by using
       either the mouse or the keyboard.

       The MenuBar displays a 3-D shadow along  its  border.  The  application
       controls  the shadow attributes using the visual-related resources sup-
       ported by XmManager.

       The MenuBar widget is homogeneous in that it accepts only children that
       are a subclass of XmCascadeButton or XmCascadeButtonGadget.  Attempting
       to insert a child of a different class results in a warning message.

       If the MenuBar does not have enough room to fit all of  its  subwidgets
       on  a  single  line, the MenuBar attempts to wrap the remaining entries
       onto additional lines if allowed by the geometry manager of the  parent
       widget.

       parent    Specifies the parent widget ID

       name      Specifies the name of the created widget

       arglist   Specifies the argument list

       argcount  Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument
                 list (arglist)

       For a complete definition of RowColumn and  its  associated  resources,
       see XmRowColumn(3).


RETURN

       Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
