XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox(3X)  SDK X11 R4.11MU05 XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox(3X)


NAME
       XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox--A RowColumn widget convenience creation
       function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

       Widget XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox (parent, name, callback, arg...)
            Widget    parent;
            String    name;
            XtCallbackProccallback;


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

       This routine creates a CheckBox and its ToggleButtonGadget children.
       A CheckBox is similar to a RadioBox, except that more than one button
       can be selected at a time.  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.

        callback
               Specifies a callback procedure to be called when a button's
               value changes.  This callback function is added to each
               button after creation as the button's
               XmNvalueChangedCallback.  The callback function is called
               when a button's value changes, and 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:


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


        label  The label string, of type XmString.

        mnemonic
               The mnemonic, of type KeySym.  This is ignored in this
               release.

        accelerator
               The accelerator, of type String.  This is ignored in this
               release.

        accelerator_text
               The accelerator text, of type XmString.  This is ignored in
               this release.


        resource_name
               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.

        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,
               depending 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 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 XmRowColumn(3X).

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
