66 The function <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> sets the current item (the item on which
67 the menu cursor is positioned). <STRONG>current_item</STRONG> returns a pointer to the
68 current item in the given menu.
70 The function <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> sets the top row of the menu to show the given
71 row (the top row is initially 0, and is reset to this value whenever
72 the <STRONG>O_ROWMAJOR</STRONG> option is toggled). The item leftmost on the given row
73 becomes current. The function <STRONG>top_row</STRONG> returns the number of the top
74 menu row being displayed.
76 The function <STRONG>item_index</STRONG> returns the (zero-origin) index of <EM>item</EM> in the
77 menu's item pointer list.
80 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
81 <STRONG>current_item</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may be <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>). It does not set
82 <STRONG>errno</STRONG>.
84 <STRONG>top_row</STRONG> and <STRONG>item_index</STRONG> return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (the general <STRONG>curses</STRONG> error value) if
85 their <EM>menu</EM> parameter is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
87 <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> and <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> return one of the following:
89 <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
91 <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
92 Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
94 <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
95 Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
97 <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
98 No items are connected to the menu.
100 <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
101 System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno(3)</STRONG>).
104 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
105 These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not
106 supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
108 The SVr4 menu library documentation specifies the <STRONG>top_row</STRONG> and
109 <STRONG>index_item</STRONG> error value as -1 (which is the value of <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>).
