Menus
In a graphical user interface, menus are the most common method for users to issue commands in an application. The way you program Motif is to establish separate widgets for all the pieces of a menu, such as:
- menu bar
- This is used to group several menu buttons together, usually at the top of the main window, by default horizontally.
- menu buttons
- This is a special type of xmPushButton that automatically brings up a pulldown menu. When this widget is created as a child of another popup menu, it forms a cascading submenu, with small arrows added to the right of the original pulldown menu.
