32.SH NAME
33\fBmitem_current\fR - set and get current_menu_item
34.SH SYNOPSIS
35\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
36.br
37int set_current_item(MENU *menu, const ITEM *item);
38.br
39ITEM *current_item(const MENU *menu);
40.br
41int set_top_row(MENU *menu, int row);
42.br
43int top_row(const MENU *menu);
44.br
45int item_index(const ITEM *item);
46.br
47.SH DESCRIPTION
48The function \fBset_current_item\fR sets the current item (the item on which
49the menu cursor is positioned). \fBcurrent_item\fR returns a pointer to the
50current item in the given menu.
51.PP
52The function \fBset_top_row\fR sets the top row of the menu to show the given
53row (the top row is initially 0, and is reset to this value whenever the
54\fBO_ROWMAJOR\fR option is toggled). The item leftmost on the given row
55becomes current. The function \fBtop_row\fR returns the number of the top menu
56row being displayed.
57.PP
58The function \fBitem_index\fR returns the (zero-origin) index of \fIitem\fR in
59the menu's item pointer list.
60.SH RETURN VALUE
61\fBcurrent_item\fR returns a pointer (which may be \fBNULL\fR).
62It does not set errno.
63.PP
64\fBtop_row\fR and \fBitem_index\fR return \fBERR\fR (the general \fBcurses\fR
65error value) if their \fImenu\fP parameter is \fBNULL\fP.
66.PP
67\fBset_current_item\fR and \fBset_top_row\fR return one of the following:
68.TP 5
69.B E_OK
70The routine succeeded.
71.TP 5
72.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
73Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
74.TP 5
75.B E_BAD_STATE
76Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
77.TP 5
78.B E_NOT_CONNECTED
79No items are connected to the menu.
80.TP 5
81.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR
82System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fR).
83.SH SEE ALSO
84\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBmenu\fR(3X).
85.SH NOTES
86The header file \fB<menu.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
87\fB<curses.h>\fR.
88.SH PORTABILITY
89These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on
90Version 7 or BSD versions.
91.PP
92The SVr4 menu library documentation specifies the \fBtop_row\fR and
93\fBindex_item\fR error value as -1 (which is the value of \fBERR\fR).
