The function <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG> sets the maximum display size
2000-07-09 10:46:08 +08:00
of the given menu. If this size is too small to display
all menu items, the menu will be made scrollable. If this
size is larger than the menus subwindow and the subwindow
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
is too small to display all menu items, <STRONG>post_menu()</STRONG> will
2000-07-09 10:46:08 +08:00
fail.
The default format is 16 rows, 1 column. Calling
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
<STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG> with a null menu pointer will change this
default. A zero row or column argument to <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG>
2000-07-09 10:46:08 +08:00
is interpreted as a request not to change the current
value.
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
The function <STRONG>menu_format</STRONG> returns the maximum-size con-
2000-07-09 10:46:08 +08:00
straints for the given menu into the storage addressed by
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
