7 * XMenu: MIT Project Athena, X Window system menu package
9 * XMenuPost - Maps a given menu to the display and activates
10 * the menu for user selection. The user is allowed to
11 * specify the mouse button event mask that will be used
12 * to identify a selection request. When a selection
13 * request is received (i.e., when the specified mouse
14 * event occurs) the data returned will be either the
15 * data associated with the particular selection active
16 * at the time of the selection request or NULL if no
17 * selection was active. A menu selection is shown to
18 * be active by placing a highlight box around the
19 * selection as the mouse cursor enters its active
20 * region. Inactive selections will not be highlighted.
21 * As the mouse cursor moved from one menu pane
22 * to another menu pane the pane being entered is raised
23 * and activated and the pane being left is deactivated.
24 * If an error occurs NULL will be returned with the
25 * p_num set to POST_ERROR, s_num set to
26 * NO_SELECTION and _XMErrorCode set to an
27 * appropriate value.
28 * Every time the routine returns successfully the
29 * p_num and s_num indices will be set to indicate
30 * the currently active pane and/or selection. If the
31 * mouse was not in a selection window at the time
32 * s_num will be set to NO_SELECTION.
