Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530[diff] [blame]64 The function <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> displays a menu to its associated
65 subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow,
66 use <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> or some equivalent <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routine (the
67 implicit <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> triggered by an <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input request
68 will do). <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> resets the selection status of all
69 items.
70
71 The function <STRONG>unpost_menu</STRONG> erases menu from its associated
72 subwindow.

Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530[diff] [blame]77 These routines return one of the following:
78
79 <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
80
81 <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
82 System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).
83

85 Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
86 ment.
87
88 <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
89 The menu has already been posted.
90
91 <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
92 Routine was called from an initialization or termina-
93 tion function.
94
95 <STRONG>E_NO_ROOM</STRONG>
96 Menu is too large for its window. You should consider
97 to use <STRONG>set_menu_format()</STRONG> to solve the problem.
98
99 <STRONG>E_NOT_POSTED</STRONG>
100 The menu has not been posted.
101
102 <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
