NAME

       XmUpdateDisplay -- A function that processes all pending exposure events immediately

SYNOPSIS

       void XmUpdateDisplay (widget)
	       Widget  widget;
       (void)

DESCRIPTION

       XmUpdateDisplay	provides  the  application with a mechanism for forcing all pending exposure events to be removed from the input queue and
       processed immediately.  When a user selects a button within a menu pane, the menu panes are unposted and then any activation callbacks reg-
       istered	by  the  application  are invoked. If one of the callbacks performs a time-consuming action, the portion of the application window
       that was covered by the menu panes will not have been redrawn; normal exposure processing does not occur until all of  the  callbacks  have
       been invoked. If the application writer suspects that a callback will take a long time, then the callback may choose to invoke XmUpdateDis-
       play before starting its time-consuming operation.  This function is also useful any time a transient window, such  as  a  dialog  box,	is
       unposted; callbacks are invoked before normal exposure processing can occur.

       widget	 Specifies any widget or gadget.

NAME

       XmCreatePopupMenu -- A RowColumn widget convenience creation function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/RowColumn.h>
       Widget XmCreatePopupMenu(
       Widget parent,
       String name,
       ArgList arglist,
       Cardinal argcount);

DESCRIPTION

       XmCreatePopupMenu  creates  an instance of a RowColumn widget of type XmMENU_POPUP and returns the associated widget ID. When this function
       is used to create the Popup menu pane, a MenuShell widget is automatically created as the parent of the	menu  pane.   The  parent  of  the
       MenuShell widget is the widget indicated by the parent parameter.

       XmCreatePopupMenu is provided as a convenience function for creating RowColumn widgets configured to operate as Popup menu panes and is not
       implemented as a separate widget class.

       The PopupMenu is used as the first menu pane within a PopupMenu system; all other menu panes are of the Pulldown type. A  Popup	menu  pane
       displays a 3-D shadow, unless the feature is disabled by the application.  The shadow appears around the edge of the menu pane.

       The  Popup  menu pane must be created as the child of a MenuShell widget in order to function properly when it is incorporated into a menu.
       If the application uses this convenience function for creating a Popup menu pane, the MenuShell is automatically created as the real parent
       of  the	menu pane.  If the application does not use this convenience function to create the RowColumn to function as a Popup menu pane, it
       is the application's responsibility to create the MenuShell widget.

       To access the PopupMenu, the application must first position the widget using the XmMenuPosition function and then manage it  using  XtMan-
       ageChild.

       parent	 Specifies the parent widget ID

       name	 Specifies the name of the created widget

       arglist	 Specifies the argument list

       argcount  Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist)

       Popup  menu  panes  support tear-off capabilities for tear-off menus through XmRowColumn resources.  For a complete definition of RowColumn
       and its associated resources, see XmRowColumn(3).

RETURN

       Returns the RowColumn widget ID.
