VERSION
     This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.

DESCRIPTION
     XmCreateMenuBar  creates  an  instance  of  a  RowColumn widget of type Xm-
     MENU_BAR and returns the associated widget ID.It is provided  as  a  conve-
     nience  function  for creating RowColumn widgets configured to operate as a
     MenuBar and is not implemented as a separate widget class.

     The MenuBar widget is generally used for building a Pulldown  menu  system.
     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 MenuPane associated with it.  These Pull-
     down MenuPanes 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  con-
     trols the shadow attributes using the visual-related resources supported 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  addi-
     tional lines if allowed by the geometry manager of the parent widget.
