NAME        top

menu_win- make and break menu window and subwindow associations

SYNOPSIS        top

#include <menu.h>int set_menu_win(MENU *menu, WINDOW *win);WINDOW *menu_win(const MENU *menu);int set_menu_sub(MENU *menu, WINDOW *sub);WINDOW *menu_sub(const MENU *menu);int scale_menu(const MENU *menu, int *rows, int *columns);

DESCRIPTION        top

       Every menu has an associated pair ofcurseswindows.  The menu       window displays any title and border associated with the window;       the menu subwindow displays the items of the menu that are       currently available for selection.       The first four functions get and set those windows.  It is not       necessary to set either window; by default, the driver code usesstdscrfor both.       In theset_functions, window argument ofNULLis treated as       though it werestsdcr.  A menu argument ofNULLis treated as a       request to change the system default menu window or subwindow.       The functionscale_menureturns the minimum size required for the       subwindow ofmenu.

RETURN VALUE        top
