</PRE>
<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>mitem_current</STRONG> - set and get current_menu_item


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;menu.h&gt;</STRONG>
       int set_current_item(MENU *menu, const ITEM *item);
       ITEM *current_item(const MENU *menu);
       int set_top_row(MENU *menu, int row);
       int top_row(const MENU *menu);
       int item_index(const ITEM *item);


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       The  function  <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> sets the current item (the
       item on  which  the  menu  cursor  is  positioned).   <STRONG>cur-</STRONG>
       <STRONG>rent_item</STRONG>  returns  a  pointer  to the current item in the
       given menu.

       The function <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> sets the top row of the  menu  to
       show  the  given  row  (the top row is initially 0, and is
       reset to this value whenever the <STRONG>O_ROWMAJOR</STRONG> option is tog-
       gled).   The  item  leftmost on the given row becomes cur-
       rent.  The function <STRONG>top_row</STRONG> returns the number of the  top
       menu row being displayed.

       The function <STRONG>item_index</STRONG> returns the (zero-origin) index of
       <EM>item</EM> in the menu's item pointer list.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>current_item</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may  be  <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>).   It
       does not set errno.

       <STRONG>top_row</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>item_index</STRONG>  return  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>  (the general <STRONG>curses</STRONG>
       error value) if their <EM>menu</EM> parameter is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.

       <STRONG>set_current_item</STRONG> and <STRONG>set_top_row</STRONG> return one of the follow-
       ing:

       <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.

       <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
            Routine  detected  an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
            ment.

       <STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
            Routine was called from an initialization or termina-
            tion function.

       <STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
            No items are connected to the menu.

       <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
            System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).

<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       The header file <STRONG>&lt;menu.h&gt;</STRONG> automatically includes the header
       file <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       These routines emulate the System V  menu  library.   They
       were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The  SVr4 menu library documentation specifies the <STRONG>top_row</STRONG>
       and <STRONG>index_item</STRONG> error value as -1 (which is  the  value  of
       <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>).

       curses by Eric S. Raymond.
