set_menu_mark, menu_mark - get and set the menu mark string
Contents
Description
In order to make menu selections visible on older terminals without highlighting or color capability, the
menu library marks selected items in a menu with a prefix string.
The function set_menu_mark sets the mark string for the given menu. Calling set_menu_mark with a null
menu item will abolish the mark string. Note that changing the length of the mark string for a menu
while the menu is posted is likely to produce unhelpful behavior.
The default string is "-" (a dash). Calling set_menu_mark with a non-NULL menu argument will change this
default.
The function menu_mark returns the menu's mark string (or NULL if there is none).
