.TH menu_win 3X ""
.SH NAME
\fBmenu_win\fR - make and break menu window and subwindow associations
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
.br
int set_menu_win(MENU *menu, WINDOW *win);
.br
WINDOW *menu_win(const MENU *menu);
.br
int set_menu_sub(MENU *menu, WINDOW *sub);
.br
WINDOW *menu_sub(const MENU *menu);
.br
int scale_menu(const MENU *menu, int *rows, int *columns);
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
Every menu has an associated pair of \fBcurses\fR windows. The menu window
displays any title and border associated with the window; the menu subwindow
displays the items of the menu that are currently available for selection.

1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
The first four functions get and set those windows. It is not necessary to set
either window; by default, the driver code uses \fBstdscr\fR for both.
2006-12-18 12:32:42 +08:00
.PP
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
In the \fBset_\fR functions, window argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as though
it were \fBstsdcr\fR. A menu argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as a request
to change the system default menu window or subwindow.

.PP
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
The function \fBscale_menu\fR returns the minimum size required for the
1999-10-24 12:32:42 +08:00
subwindow of \fImenu\fR.
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
.SH RETURN VALUE
Routines that return pointers return \fBNULL\fR on error. Routines that return
an integer return one of the following error codes:
.TP 5
2006-12-18 12:32:42 +08:00
.B E_OK
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00

.TP 5
2006-12-18 12:32:42 +08:00
.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00

.TP 5
2006-12-18 12:32:42 +08:00
.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
