[comp.sys.sgi] simultaneous selection of items from popup menus

drzymala@POLLUX.WUSTL.EDU (drzymala) (03/15/90)

Dear IRIX users:

	We would like to select multiple items from popup menus in our
application programs.  Does anybody have any experience with selecting
mutiple items SIMULTANEOUSLY?  We have only been able to figure out how
to select ONE item at a time, but this is inconvenient for our purposes.
We would like to call the menu from FORTRAN but C is OK.  Also, we have
X-windows software, so we can use this as well.  It would also be useful
to be able to specify where the menu will appear on the screen.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    What I have done is after I have made a menu selection I call the
menu again (dopup) and keep doing this until an exit menu selection
has been made.  That is the only way I have figured out how to do
it.  I would be interested in any other ways.
    I use "setval" on "mousex" & "mousey" just before calling "dopup",
if I want the menu to appear in a specific place.
