Make an action optionmenu megawidget

Synopsis
actionoptionmenu(actionoptionmenu megawidget arguments)

Arguments

actionoptionmenu megawidget arguments

standard AIPS++ actionoptionmenu megawidget arguments

Returns
AIPS++ actionoptionmenu megawidget

Description

This makes an AIPS++ actionoptionmenu megawidget, applying context-sensitive defaults as described in the top-level widgetserver documentation. It is identical to the optionmenu megawidget. The actionoptionmenu exists only so you can use it for ``action'' menus, where the relief (usually raised) and colors will in general be different from that of a ``selection'' option menu (relief is usually groove). The actionoptionmenu is implemented on top of the optionmenu in the widgetserver tool. This means that it is only available via the widgetserver.

Example

- include 'widgetserver.g'   
- names := ['Delete all files', 'Delete images', 'Delete measurement sets'];
- labels := "DelAll DelIm DelMS";
- f := dws.frame();
- hlp := 'Delete selected files';
- m := dws.actionoptionmenu(f, labels, names, hlp=hlp);
