NAME
menu_item_value, set_item_value, item_value - set and get menus item values SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lmenu -lcurses [ library... ] #include <menu.h> int set_item_value(ITEM *item, int bool); int item_value(ITEM *item); DESCRIPTION
Unlike single-valued menus, multi-valued menus enable the end-user to select one or more items from a menu. set_item_value() sets the selected value of the item -- TRUE (selected) or FALSE (not selected). set_item_value() may be used only with multi-valued menus. To make a menu multi-valued, use set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off() to turn off the option O_ONEVALUE. (See menu_opts(3CURSES)). item_value() returns the select value of item, either TRUE (selected) or FALSE (unselected). RETURN VALUES
set_item_value() returns one of the following: E_OK The routine returned successfully. E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error. E_REQUEST_DENIED The menu driver could not process the request. ATTRIBUTES

cc [ flag... ] file... -lmenu -lcurses [ library... ] #include <menu.h> OPTIONS menu_opts(MENU *menu); int set_menu_opts(MENU *menu, OPTIONS opts); int menu_opts_on(MENU *menu, OPTIONS opts); int menu_opts_off(MENU *menu, OPTIONS opts); DESCRIPTION
Menu Options set_menu_opts() turns on the named options for menu and turns off all other options. Options are boolean values that can be OR-ed together. menu_opts_on() turns on the named options for menu; no other option is changed. menu_opts_off() turns off the named options for menu; no other option is changed. menu_opts() returns the current options of menu. The following values can be OR'd together to create opts. O_ONEVALUE Only one item can be selected from the menu. O_SHOWDESC Display the description of the items. O_ROWMAJOR Display the menu in row major order. O_IGNORECASE Ignore the case when pattern matching. O_SHOWMATCH Place the cursor within the item name when pattern matching. O_NONCYCLIC Make certain menu driver requests non-cyclic. RETURN VALUES
Except for menu_opts(), these routines return one of the following: E_OK The routine returned successfully. E_SYSTEM_ERROR System error. E_POSTED The menu is already posted. ATTRIBUTES
