Description

oldPopupMenuF provides a popup menu. The menu is normally hidden, but pops up when the a specific mouse button is pressed over the fudget to which the popup menu is attached, so that an item can be picked from the menu. The menu is removed as soon as the mouse button is released.

Input

Left x is ignored. Right y causes y to be passed to the argument fudget.

Output

Left x is output if menu item x is selected. Right y is output if the argument fudget outputs y.

Arguments

bgcolor :: ColorName

Background color. bgColor is a good default.

grab :: Bool

Use grab? If True the menu will pop up even if the pointer is over a subwindow.

fname :: FontName

Name of the font to use for text. Fonts can be examined by using the command xfontsel. (This argument is likely to disappear in the near future. It will be replaced by some resource mechanism.)

button :: Button

The mouse button that should trigger the menu.

mods :: ModState

The modifier keys that must be pressed to trigger the menu.

keys :: [(ModState, KeySym)]

Keyboard shortcuts that should trigger the meny. (Use only non-repeating keys, e.g. the Meta key.)

alts :: [(a, b)]

A list of items to choose from. Each item is paired with a list of keyboard shortcuts.

show_alt :: a -> c

A function that determines the text string that is shown for each item in the menu

fudget :: F d e

The fudget in which the popup menu will be available.
