     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

          Widget XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu (parent, name, post_from_button,
                    callback, arg...)
               Widget    parent;
               String    name;

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

          This routine creates a Pulldown MenuPane and its button
          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.  The name of each separator is separator_n, where n is
          an integer from 0 to one minus the number of separators in
          the menu.  The name of each title is label_n, where n is an
          integer from 0 to one minus the number of titles in the
          menu.  Buttons, separators, and titles are named and created
          in the order in which they are specified in the variable
          portion of the argument list.

          This routine also attaches the PulldownMenu to a
          CascadeButton or CascadeButtonGadget in the parent.  The
          PulldownMenu is then posted from this button.

          parent
               Specifies the widget ID of the parent of the MenuShell.

          name Specifies the name of the created widget.

          post_from_button
               Specifies the CascadeButton or CascadeButtonGadget in
               the parent to which the Pulldown MenuPane is attached.
               The value is the integer n that corresponds to the nth
               CascadeButton or CascadeButtonGadget specified for the
               parent of the Pulldown MenuPane.  A Pulldown MenuPane
               can be attached only to a CascadeButton or
               CascadeButtonGadget, and only CascadeButtons and
               CascadeButtonGadgets are counted in determining the
               integer n.  The first CascadeButton or
               CascadeButtonGadget is number 0.

          callback
               Specifies a callback procedure to be called when a
               button is activated or when its value changes.  This
               callback function is added to each button after
               creation.  For a CascadeButtonGadget or a
               PushButtonGadget, the callback is added as the button's
               XmNactivateCallback, and it is called when the button
               is activated.  For a ToggleButtonGadget, the callback
               is added as the button's XmNvalueChangedCallback, and
               it is called when the button's value changes.  The
               button number is returned in the client_data field.

          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 PulldownMenu and some of
               its resource values.  The button created is a
               CascadeButtonGadget.  Following are the additional two
               arguments, in this order:

          label
               The label string, of type XmString.

          mnemonic
               The mnemonic, of type KeySym.  This is followed by four
               additional arguments.  The set specifies one button in
               the PulldownMenu and some of its resource values.  The
               button created is a PushButtonGadget.  Following are
               the additional four arguments, in this order:

          label
               The label string, of type XmString.

          mnemonic
               The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

          accelerator
               The accelerator, of type String.

          accelerator_text
               The accelerator text, of type XmString.  This is
               followed by four additional arguments.  The set
               specifies one button in the PulldownMenu and some of
               its resource values.  The button created is a
               ToggleButtonGadget.  Following are the additional four
               arguments, in this order:
          label
               The label string, of type XmString.

          mnemonic
               The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

          accelerator
               The accelerator, of type String.

          accelerator_text
               The accelerator text, of type XmString.  This is
               followed by four additional arguments.  The set
               specifies one button in the PulldownMenu and some of
               its resource values.  The button created is a
               ToggleButtonGadget.  Following are the additional four
               arguments, in this order:

          label
               The label string, of type XmString.

          mnemonic
               The mnemonic, of type KeySym.

          accelerator
               The accelerator, of type String.

          accelerator_text
               The accelerator text, of type XmString.  This is
               followed by one additional argument.  The pair
               specifies a title LabelGadget in the PulldownMenu.
               Following is the additional argument:

          title
               The title string, of type XmString.  This is followed
               by no additional arguments.  It specifies one separator
               in the PulldownMenu.  This is followed by no additional
               arguments.  It specifies one separator in the
               PulldownMenu.  The separator type is XmDOUBLE_LINE.
               This is followed by one additional argument, the value
               of the resource, of type XtArgVal.  The pair specifies

               a resource and its value for the RowColumn widget.
               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,
               depending on the type and size of the value), of type
               XtArgVal.

          size The size of the resource value in bytes, of type int.
               This is followed by one additional argument of type
               XtVarArgsList.  This argument is a nested list of
               varargs returned by XtVaCreateArgsList.

          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 associated resources, see
