Chooses a QuickWin menu item.
#include <io.h>
int _wmenuclick( int menuitem );
| menuitem | Constant specifying which menu command to execute |
The _wmenuclick function emulates the user choosing a command from the QuickWin Window menu. This routine is used only in QuickWin programs; it is not part of the Windows API. For full details about QuickWin, see Chapter 8 of Programming Techniques (in the Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 documentation set).
The menuitem argument is a manifest constant specifying one of four available menu commands:
| Value | Meaning |
| _WINTILE | Tile the program's child windows |
| _WINCASCADE | Cascade the program's child windows |
| _WINARRANGE | Arrange icons at the bottom of the client window area |
| _WINSTATBAR | Toggle the status bar |
These are the only menu commands you can choose. Calling the function with one of these values performs the menu action.
If successful, _wmenuclick returns 0. A return value of –1 indicates an error.
