VERSION
     This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.

DESCRIPTION
     XmVaCreateSimpleMenuBar  creates  an instance of a RowColumn widget of type
     XmMENU_BAR and returns the associated widget ID.   This  routine  uses  the
     ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention.

     This  routine  creates a MenuBar and its CascadeButtonGadget children.  The
     name of each button is button_n, where n is an integer from 0 to one  minus
     the  number  of  buttons in the menu.  Buttons are named and created in the
     order in which they are specified in the variable portion of  the  argument
     list.


     parent Specifies the parent widget ID

     name   Specifies the name of the created widget


     The  variable portion of the argument list consists of groups of arguments.
     The first argument in each group is a constant or a string  and  determines
     which  arguments  follow in that group.  The last argument in the list must
     be NULL.  Following are the possible  first  arguments  in  each  group  of
     varargs:


     XmVaCASCADEBUTTON
            This is followed by two additional arguments.  The set specifies one
            button  in  the  MenuBar and some of its resource values.  Following
            are the additional two arguments, in this order:


            label   The label string, of type XmString.

            mnemonic
                    The mnemonic, of type KeySym.


     resource_name
            This is followed by one additional argument, the value  of  the  re-
            source,  of  type  XtArgVal.   The pair specifies a resource and its
            value for the RowColumn widget.

     XtVaTypedArg
            This is followed by four additional arguments.  The set specifies  a
            resource  and  its  value for the RowColumn widget.  A resource type
            conversion is performed if necessary.  Following are the  additional
            four arguments, in this order:


            name    The resource name, of type String.

            type    The type of the resource value supplied, of type String.

            value   The  resource value (or a pointer to the resource value, de-
                    pending on  the  type  and  size  of  the  value),  of  type
                    XtArgVal.

            size    The size of the resource value in bytes, of type int.


     XtVaNestedList
            This  is  followed by one additional argument of type XtVarArgsList.
            This argument is a nested  list  of  varargs  returned  by  XtVaCre-
            ateArgsList.


     For  more  information on variable-length argument lists, see the X Toolkit
     Intrinsics documentation.

     A number of resources exist specifically for use with this and other simple
     menu creation routines.  For a complete definition of RowColumn and its as-
     sociated resources, see XmRowColumn(3X).

RETURN VALUE
     Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
