NAME

       XmRemoveFromPostFromList -- a RowColumn function that disables a menu for a particular widget

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>

       void XmRemoveFromPostFromList(
       Widget menu,
       Widget post_from_widget);

DESCRIPTION

       XmRemoveFromPostFromList makes a Popup or Pulldown menu no longer accessible from a widget. This function does not destroy a menu, or deal-
       locate the memory associated with it. It simply removes the widget from the menu's list of widgets permitted to post that menu.

       If the menu argument refers to a Popup menu, the event handlers are removed from the post_from_widget widget. If the argument refers  to  a
       Pulldown  menu,	its  ID  is  removed  from  the  XmNsubMenuId of the specified post_from_widget. Also, if the menu is a Pulldown menu, the
       post_from_widget widget must be either a CascadeButton or a CascadeButtonGadget.

       menu	 Specifies the widget ID of a the Popup or Pulldown menu to be made inaccessible from the post_from_widget widget.

       post_from_widget
		 Specifies the widget ID of the widget which can no longer post the menu referred to by the menu argument..
