menu_attributes - color and attribute control for menus #include <menu.h>

int set_menu_fore(MENU *menu, chtype attr);

chtype menu_fore(const MENU *menu);

int set_menu_back(MENU *menu, chtype attr);

chtype menu_back(const MENU *menu);

int set_menu_grey(MENU *menu, chtype attr);

chtype menu_grey(const MENU *menu);

int set_menu_pad(MENU *menu, int pad);

The function set_menu_back sets the background attribute of menu. This is the highlight used for selectable (but not currently selected) menu items. The function menu_back returns the background attribute. The default is A_NORMAL.

The function set_menu_grey sets the grey attribute of menu. This is the highlight used for un-selectable menu items in menus that permit more than one selection. The function menu_grey returns the grey attribute. The default is A_UNDERLINE.

The function set_menu_pad sets the character used to fill the space between the name and description parts of a menu item. menu_pad returns the given menu's pad character. The default is a blank.

curses(3X) and related pages whose names begin "menu_" for detailed descriptions of the entry points. The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>. These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions. Juergen Pfeifer. Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond.
