NAME

mitem_opts - set and get menu item options

SYNOPSIS

#include <menu.h>
int set_item_opts(ITEM *item, Item_Options opts);
int item_opts_on(ITEM *item, Item_Options opts);
int item_opts_off(ITEM *item, Item_Options opts);
Item_Options item_opts(const ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTION

The function set_item_opts sets all the given item's option bits (menu option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).

The function item_opts_on turns on the given option bits, and leaves others alone.

The function item_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves others alone.

The function item_opts returns the item's current option bits.

There is only one defined option bit mask, O_SELECTABLE. When this is on, the item may be selected during menu processing. This option defaults to on.

RETURN VALUE

Except for item_opts, each routine returns one of the following:

E_OK: The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR: System error occurred (see errno).

NOTES

The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
