Curses Library Functions                 menu_item_value(3CURSES)



NAME
     menu_item_value, set_item_value, item_value -  set  and  get
     menus item values

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lmenu  -lcurses  [ library... ]
     #include 

     int set_item_value(ITEM *item, int bool);


     int item_value(ITEM *item);


DESCRIPTION
     Unlike single-valued menus, multi-valued  menus  enable  the
     end-user   to   select  one  or  more  items  from  a  menu.
     set_item_value() sets the selected value of the item -  TRUE
     (selected)  or FALSE (not selected). set_item_value() may be
     used only with multi-valued menus. To  make  a  menu  multi-
     valued, use set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off() to turn off the
     option O_ONEVALUE. (See menu_opts(3CURSES)).


     item_value() returns the select value of item,  either  TRUE
     (selected) or FALSE (unselected).

RETURN VALUES
     set_item_value() returns one of the following:

     E_OK                The routine returned successfully.


     E_SYSTEM_ERROR      System error.


     E_REQUEST_DENIED    The menu driver could  not  process  the
                         request.
