17. Menus Library

The menus library provides a nice extension to basic curses, through which you can create menus. It provides a set of functions to create menus. But they have to be customized to give a nicer look, with colors etc. Let's get into the details.

A menu is a screen display that assists the user to choose some subset of a given set of items. To put it simple, a menu is a collection of items from which one or more items can be chosen. Some readers might not be aware of multiple item selection capability. Menu library provides functionality to write menus from which the user can chose more than one item as the preferred choice. This is dealt with in a later section. Now it is time for some rudiments.

17.1. The Basics

To create menus, you first create items, and then post the menu to the display. After that, all the processing of user responses is done in an elegant function menu_driver() which is the work horse of any menu program.

The general flow of control of a menu program looks like this.

  1. Initialize curses

  2. Create items using new_item(). You can specify a name and description for the items.

  3. Create the menu with new_menu() by specifying the items to be attached with.

  4. Post the menu with menu_post() and refresh the screen.

  5. Process the user requests with a loop and do necessary updates to menu with menu_driver.

  6. Unpost the menu with menu_unpost()

  7. Free the memory allocated to menu by free_menu()

  8. Free the memory allocated to the items with free_item()

  9. End curses

Let's see a program which prints a simple menu and updates the current selection with up, down arrows.

17.2. Compiling With the Menu Library

To use menu library functions, you have to include menu.h and to link the program with menu library the flag -lmenu should be added along with -lncurses in that order.

    #include <menu.h>
    .
    .
    .

    compile and link: gcc <program file> -lmenu -lncurses

This program demonstrates the basic concepts involved in creating a menu using menus library. First we create the items using new_item() and then attach them to the menu with new_menu() function. After posting the menu and refreshing the screen, the main processing loop starts. It reads user input and takes corresponding action. The function menu_driver() is the main work horse of the menu system. The second parameter to this function tells what's to be done with the menu. According to the parameter, menu_driver() does the corresponding task. The value can be either a menu navigational request, an ascii character, or a KEY_MOUSE special key associated with a mouse event.

The menu_driver accepts following navigational requests.

     REQ_LEFT_ITEM         Move left to an item.
     REQ_RIGHT_ITEM      Move right to an item.
     REQ_UP_ITEM         Move up to an item.
     REQ_DOWN_ITEM       Move down to an item.
     REQ_SCR_ULINE       Scroll up a line.
     REQ_SCR_DLINE          Scroll down a line.
     REQ_SCR_DPAGE          Scroll down a page.
     REQ_SCR_UPAGE         Scroll up a page.
     REQ_FIRST_ITEM     Move to the first item.
     REQ_LAST_ITEM         Move to the last item.
     REQ_NEXT_ITEM         Move to the next item.
     REQ_PREV_ITEM         Move to the previous item. 
     REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM     Select/deselect an item.
     REQ_CLEAR_PATTERN     Clear the menu pattern buffer.
     REQ_BACK_PATTERN      Delete the previous character from the pattern buffer.
     REQ_NEXT_MATCH     Move to the next item matching the pattern match.
     REQ_PREV_MATCH     Move to the previous item matching the pattern match.

Don't get overwhelmed by the number of options. We will see them slowly one after another. The options of interest in this example are REQ_UP_ITEM and REQ_DOWN_ITEM. These two options when passed to menu_driver, menu driver updates the current item to one item up or down respectively.

17.3. Menu Driver: The work horse of the menu system

As you have seen in the above example, menu_driver plays an important role in updating the menu. It is very important to understand various options it takes and what they do. As explained above, the second parameter to menu_driver() can be either a navigational request, a printable character or a KEY_MOUSE key. Let's dissect the different navigational requests.

Each of the above requests will be explained in the following lines with several examples whenever appropriate.

17.4. Menu Windows

Every menu created is associated with a window and a sub window. The menu window displays any title or border associated with the menu. The menu sub window displays the menu items currently available for selection. But we didn't specify any window or sub window in the simple example. When a window is not specified, stdscr is taken as the main window, and then menu system calculates the sub window size required for the display of items. Then items are displayed in the calculated sub window. So let's play with these windows and display a menu with a border and a title.

Example 19. Menu Windows Usage example

#include <menu.h>

#define ARRAY_SIZE(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]))
#define CTRLD 	4

char *choices[] = {
                        "Choice 1",
                        "Choice 2",
                        "Choice 3",
                        "Choice 4",
                        "Exit",
                        (char *)NULL,
                  };
void print_in_middle(WINDOW *win, int starty, int startx, int width, char *string, chtype color);

int main()
{	ITEM **my_items;
	int c;				
	MENU *my_menu;
        WINDOW *my_menu_win;
        int n_choices, i;
	
	/* Initialize curses */
	initscr();
	start_color();
        cbreak();
        noecho();
	keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
	init_pair(1, COLOR_RED, COLOR_BLACK);

	/* Create items */
        n_choices = ARRAY_SIZE(choices);
        my_items = (ITEM **)calloc(n_choices, sizeof(ITEM *));
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                my_items[i] = new_item(choices[i], choices[i]);

	/* Crate menu */
	my_menu = new_menu((ITEM **)my_items);

	/* Create the window to be associated with the menu */
        my_menu_win = newwin(10, 40, 4, 4);
        keypad(my_menu_win, TRUE);
     
	/* Set main window and sub window */
        set_menu_win(my_menu, my_menu_win);
        set_menu_sub(my_menu, derwin(my_menu_win, 6, 38, 3, 1));

	/* Set menu mark to the string " * " */
        set_menu_mark(my_menu, " * ");

	/* Print a border around the main window and print a title */
        box(my_menu_win, 0, 0);
	print_in_middle(my_menu_win, 1, 0, 40, "My Menu", COLOR_PAIR(1));
	mvwaddch(my_menu_win, 2, 0, ACS_LTEE);
	mvwhline(my_menu_win, 2, 1, ACS_HLINE, 38);
	mvwaddch(my_menu_win, 2, 39, ACS_RTEE);
	mvprintw(LINES - 2, 0, "F1 to exit");
	refresh();
        
	/* Post the menu */
	post_menu(my_menu);
	wrefresh(my_menu_win);

	while((c = wgetch(my_menu_win)) != KEY_F(1))
	{       switch(c)
	        {	case KEY_DOWN:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_DOWN_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_UP:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_UP_ITEM);
				break;
		}
                wrefresh(my_menu_win);
	}	

	/* Unpost and free all the memory taken up */
        unpost_menu(my_menu);
        free_menu(my_menu);
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                free_item(my_items[i]);
	endwin();
}

void print_in_middle(WINDOW *win, int starty, int startx, int width, char *string, chtype color)
{	int length, x, y;
	float temp;

	if(win == NULL)
		win = stdscr;
	getyx(win, y, x);
	if(startx != 0)
		x = startx;
	if(starty != 0)
		y = starty;
	if(width == 0)
		width = 80;

	length = strlen(string);
	temp = (width - length)/ 2;
	x = startx + (int)temp;
	wattron(win, color);
	mvwprintw(win, y, x, "%s", string);
	wattroff(win, color);
	refresh();
}

This example creates a menu with a title, border, a fancy line separating title and the items. As you can see, in order to attach a window to a menu the function set_menu_win() has to be used. Then we attach the sub window also. This displays the items in the sub window. You can also set the mark string which gets displayed to the left of the selected item with set_menu_mark().

17.5. Scrolling Menus

If the sub window given for a window is not big enough to show all the items, then the menu will be scrollable. When you are on the last item in the present list, if you send REQ_DOWN_ITEM, it gets translated into REQ_SCR_DLINE and the menu scrolls by one item. You can manually give REQ_SCR_ operations to do scrolling. Let's see how it can be done.

Example 20. Scrolling Menus example

#include <curses.h>
#include <menu.h>

#define ARRAY_SIZE(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]))
#define CTRLD 	4

char *choices[] = {
                        "Choice 1",
                        "Choice 2",
                        "Choice 3",
                        "Choice 4",
			"Choice 5",
			"Choice 6",
			"Choice 7",
			"Choice 8",
			"Choice 9",
			"Choice 10",
                        "Exit",
                        (char *)NULL,
                  };
void print_in_middle(WINDOW *win, int starty, int startx, int width, char *string, chtype color);

int main()
{	ITEM **my_items;
	int c;				
	MENU *my_menu;
        WINDOW *my_menu_win;
        int n_choices, i;
	
	/* Initialize curses */
	initscr();
	start_color();
        cbreak();
        noecho();
	keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
	init_pair(1, COLOR_RED, COLOR_BLACK);
	init_pair(2, COLOR_CYAN, COLOR_BLACK);

	/* Create items */
        n_choices = ARRAY_SIZE(choices);
        my_items = (ITEM **)calloc(n_choices, sizeof(ITEM *));
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                my_items[i] = new_item(choices[i], choices[i]);

	/* Crate menu */
	my_menu = new_menu((ITEM **)my_items);

	/* Create the window to be associated with the menu */
        my_menu_win = newwin(10, 40, 4, 4);
        keypad(my_menu_win, TRUE);
     
	/* Set main window and sub window */
        set_menu_win(my_menu, my_menu_win);
        set_menu_sub(my_menu, derwin(my_menu_win, 6, 38, 3, 1));
	set_menu_format(my_menu, 5, 1);
			
	/* Set menu mark to the string " * " */
        set_menu_mark(my_menu, " * ");

	/* Print a border around the main window and print a title */
        box(my_menu_win, 0, 0);
	print_in_middle(my_menu_win, 1, 0, 40, "My Menu", COLOR_PAIR(1));
	mvwaddch(my_menu_win, 2, 0, ACS_LTEE);
	mvwhline(my_menu_win, 2, 1, ACS_HLINE, 38);
	mvwaddch(my_menu_win, 2, 39, ACS_RTEE);
        
	/* Post the menu */
	post_menu(my_menu);
	wrefresh(my_menu_win);
	
	attron(COLOR_PAIR(2));
	mvprintw(LINES - 2, 0, "Use PageUp and PageDown to scoll down or up a page of items");
	mvprintw(LINES - 1, 0, "Arrow Keys to navigate (F1 to Exit)");
	attroff(COLOR_PAIR(2));
	refresh();

	while((c = wgetch(my_menu_win)) != KEY_F(1))
	{       switch(c)
	        {	case KEY_DOWN:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_DOWN_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_UP:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_UP_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_NPAGE:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_SCR_DPAGE);
				break;
			case KEY_PPAGE:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_SCR_UPAGE);
				break;
		}
                wrefresh(my_menu_win);
	}	

	/* Unpost and free all the memory taken up */
        unpost_menu(my_menu);
        free_menu(my_menu);
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                free_item(my_items[i]);
	endwin();
}

void print_in_middle(WINDOW *win, int starty, int startx, int width, char *string, chtype color)
{	int length, x, y;
	float temp;

	if(win == NULL)
		win = stdscr;
	getyx(win, y, x);
	if(startx != 0)
		x = startx;
	if(starty != 0)
		y = starty;
	if(width == 0)
		width = 80;

	length = strlen(string);
	temp = (width - length)/ 2;
	x = startx + (int)temp;
	wattron(win, color);
	mvwprintw(win, y, x, "%s", string);
	wattroff(win, color);
	refresh();
}

This program is self-explanatory. In this example the number of choices has been increased to ten, which is larger than our sub window size which can hold 6 items. This message has to be explicitly conveyed to the menu system with the function set_menu_format(). In here we specify the number of rows and columns we want to be displayed for a single page. We can specify any number of items to be shown, in the rows variables, if it is less than the height of the sub window. If the key pressed by the user is a PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN, the menu is scrolled a page due to the requests (REQ_SCR_DPAGE and REQ_SCR_UPAGE) given to menu_driver().

17.6. Multi Columnar Menus

In the above example you have seen how to use the function set_menu_format(). I didn't mention what the cols variable (third parameter) does. Well, If your sub window is wide enough, you can opt to display more than one item per row. This can be specified in the cols variable. To make things simpler, the following example doesn't show descriptions for the items.

Example 21. Milt Columnar Menus Example

#include <curses.h>
#include <menu.h>

#define ARRAY_SIZE(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]))
#define CTRLD 	4

char *choices[] = {
                        "Choice 1", "Choice 2", "Choice 3", "Choice 4", "Choice 5",
			"Choice 6", "Choice 7", "Choice 8", "Choice 9", "Choice 10",
			"Choice 11", "Choice 12", "Choice 13", "Choice 14", "Choice 15",
			"Choice 16", "Choice 17", "Choice 18", "Choice 19", "Choice 20",
                        "Exit",
                        (char *)NULL,
                  };

int main()
{	ITEM **my_items;
	int c;				
	MENU *my_menu;
        WINDOW *my_menu_win;
        int n_choices, i;
	
	/* Initialize curses */
	initscr();
	start_color();
        cbreak();
        noecho();
	keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
	init_pair(1, COLOR_RED, COLOR_BLACK);
	init_pair(2, COLOR_CYAN, COLOR_BLACK);

	/* Create items */
        n_choices = ARRAY_SIZE(choices);
        my_items = (ITEM **)calloc(n_choices, sizeof(ITEM *));
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                my_items[i] = new_item(choices[i], choices[i]);

	/* Crate menu */
	my_menu = new_menu((ITEM **)my_items);

	/* Set menu option not to show the description */
	menu_opts_off(my_menu, O_SHOWDESC);

	/* Create the window to be associated with the menu */
        my_menu_win = newwin(10, 70, 4, 4);
        keypad(my_menu_win, TRUE);
     
	/* Set main window and sub window */
        set_menu_win(my_menu, my_menu_win);
        set_menu_sub(my_menu, derwin(my_menu_win, 6, 68, 3, 1));
	set_menu_format(my_menu, 5, 3);
	set_menu_mark(my_menu, " * ");

	/* Print a border around the main window and print a title */
        box(my_menu_win, 0, 0);
	
	attron(COLOR_PAIR(2));
	mvprintw(LINES - 3, 0, "Use PageUp and PageDown to scroll");
	mvprintw(LINES - 2, 0, "Use Arrow Keys to navigate (F1 to Exit)");
	attroff(COLOR_PAIR(2));
	refresh();

	/* Post the menu */
	post_menu(my_menu);
	wrefresh(my_menu_win);
	
	while((c = wgetch(my_menu_win)) != KEY_F(1))
	{       switch(c)
	        {	case KEY_DOWN:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_DOWN_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_UP:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_UP_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_LEFT:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_LEFT_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_RIGHT:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_RIGHT_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_NPAGE:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_SCR_DPAGE);
				break;
			case KEY_PPAGE:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_SCR_UPAGE);
				break;
		}
                wrefresh(my_menu_win);
	}	

	/* Unpost and free all the memory taken up */
        unpost_menu(my_menu);
        free_menu(my_menu);
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                free_item(my_items[i]);
	endwin();
}

Watch the function call to set_menu_format(). It specifies the number of columns to be 3, thus displaying 3 items per row. We have also switched off the showing descriptions with the function menu_opts_off(). There are couple of functions set_menu_opts(), menu_opts_on() and menu_opts() which can be used to manipulate menu options. The following menu options can be specified.

       O_ONEVALUE
            Only one item can be selected for this menu.

       O_SHOWDESC
            Display  the  item  descriptions  when  the  menu  is
            posted.

       O_ROWMAJOR
            Display the menu in row-major order.

       O_IGNORECASE
            Ignore the case when pattern-matching.

       O_SHOWMATCH
            Move the cursor to within the item  name  while  pat╜
            tern-matching.

       O_NONCYCLIC
            Don't   wrap   around  next-item  and  previous-item,
            requests to the other end of the menu.

All options are on by default. You can switch specific attributes on or off with menu_opts_on() and menu_opts_off() functions. You can also use set_menu_opts() to directly specify the options. The argument to this function should be a OR ed value of some of those above constants. The function menu_opts() can be used to find out a menu's present options.

17.7. Multi Valued Menus

You might be wondering what if you switch off the option O_ONEVALUE. Then the menu becomes multi-valued. That means you can select more than one item. This brings us to the request REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM. Let's see it in action.

Example 22. Multi Valued Menus example

#include <curses.h>
#include <menu.h>

#define ARRAY_SIZE(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]))
#define CTRLD 	4

char *choices[] = {
                        "Choice 1",
                        "Choice 2",
                        "Choice 3",
                        "Choice 4",
			"Choice 5",
			"Choice 6",
			"Choice 7",
                        "Exit",
                  };

int main()
{	ITEM **my_items;
	int c;				
	MENU *my_menu;
        int n_choices, i;
	ITEM *cur_item;
	
	/* Initialize curses */	
	initscr();
        cbreak();
        noecho();
	keypad(stdscr, TRUE);

	/* Initialize items */
        n_choices = ARRAY_SIZE(choices);
        my_items = (ITEM **)calloc(n_choices + 1, sizeof(ITEM *));
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                my_items[i] = new_item(choices[i], choices[i]);
	my_items[n_choices] = (ITEM *)NULL;

	my_menu = new_menu((ITEM **)my_items);

	/* Make the menu multi valued */
	menu_opts_off(my_menu, O_ONEVALUE);

	mvprintw(LINES - 3, 0, "Use <SPACE> to select or unselect an item.");
	mvprintw(LINES - 2, 0, "<ENTER> to see presently selected items(F1 to Exit)");
	post_menu(my_menu);
	refresh();

	while((c = getch()) != KEY_F(1))
	{       switch(c)
	        {	case KEY_DOWN:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_DOWN_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_UP:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_UP_ITEM);
				break;
			case ' ':
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM);
				break;
			case 10:	/* Enter */
			{	char temp[200];
				ITEM **items;

				items = menu_items(my_menu);
				temp[0] = '\0';
				for(i = 0; i < item_count(my_menu); ++i)
					if(item_value(items[i]) == TRUE)
					{	strcat(temp, item_name(items[i]));
						strcat(temp, " ");
					}
				move(20, 0);
				clrtoeol();
				mvprintw(20, 0, temp);
				refresh();
			}
			break;
		}
	}	

	free_item(my_items[0]);
        free_item(my_items[1]);
	free_menu(my_menu);
	endwin();
}
	

Whew, A lot of new functions. Let's take them one after another. Firstly, the REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM. In a multi-valued menu, the user should be allowed to select or un select more than one item. The request REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM toggles the present selection. In this case when space is pressed REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM request is sent to menu_driver to achieve the result.

Now when the user presses <ENTER> we show the items he presently selected. First we find out the items associated with the menu using the function menu_items(). Then we loop through the items to find out if the item is selected or not. The function item_value() returns TRUE if an item is selected. The function item_count() returns the number of items in the menu. The item name can be found with item_name(). You can also find the description associated with an item using item_description().

17.8. Menu Options

Well, by this time you must be itching for some difference in your menu, with lots of functionality. I know. You want Colors !!!. You want to create nice menus similar to those text mode dos games. The functions set_menu_fore() and set_menu_back() can be used to change the attribute of the selected item and unselected item. The names are misleading. They don't change menu's foreground or background which would have been useless.

The function set_menu_grey() can be used to set the display attribute for the non-selectable items in the menu. This brings us to the interesting option for an item the one and only O_SELECTABLE. We can turn it off by the function item_opts_off() and after that that item is not selectable. It's like a grayed item in those fancy windows menus. Let's put these concepts in practice with this example

Example 23. Menu Options example

#include <menu.h>

#define ARRAY_SIZE(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]))
#define CTRLD 	4

char *choices[] = {
                        "Choice 1",
                        "Choice 2",
                        "Choice 3",
                        "Choice 4",
			"Choice 5",
			"Choice 6",
			"Choice 7",
                        "Exit",
                  };

int main()
{	ITEM **my_items;
	int c;				
	MENU *my_menu;
        int n_choices, i;
	ITEM *cur_item;
	
	/* Initialize curses */	
	initscr();
	start_color();
        cbreak();
        noecho();
	keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
	init_pair(1, COLOR_RED, COLOR_BLACK);
	init_pair(2, COLOR_GREEN, COLOR_BLACK);
	init_pair(3, COLOR_MAGENTA, COLOR_BLACK);

	/* Initialize items */
        n_choices = ARRAY_SIZE(choices);
        my_items = (ITEM **)calloc(n_choices + 1, sizeof(ITEM *));
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
                my_items[i] = new_item(choices[i], choices[i]);
	my_items[n_choices] = (ITEM *)NULL;
	item_opts_off(my_items[3], O_SELECTABLE);
	item_opts_off(my_items[6], O_SELECTABLE);

	/* Create menu */
	my_menu = new_menu((ITEM **)my_items);

	/* Set fore ground and back ground of the menu */
	set_menu_fore(my_menu, COLOR_PAIR(1) | A_REVERSE);
	set_menu_back(my_menu, COLOR_PAIR(2));
	set_menu_grey(my_menu, COLOR_PAIR(3));

	/* Post the menu */
	mvprintw(LINES - 3, 0, "Press <ENTER> to see the option selected");
	mvprintw(LINES - 2, 0, "Up and Down arrow keys to naviage (F1 to Exit)");
	post_menu(my_menu);
	refresh();

	while((c = getch()) != KEY_F(1))
	{       switch(c)
	        {	case KEY_DOWN:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_DOWN_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_UP:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_UP_ITEM);
				break;
			case 10: /* Enter */
				move(20, 0);
				clrtoeol();
				mvprintw(20, 0, "Item selected is : %s", 
						item_name(current_item(my_menu)));
				pos_menu_cursor(my_menu);
				break;
		}
	}	
	unpost_menu(my_menu);
	for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
		free_item(my_items[i]);
	free_menu(my_menu);
	endwin();
}
	

17.9. The useful User Pointer

We can associate a user pointer with each item in the menu. It works the same way as user pointer in panels. It's not touched by menu system. You can store any thing you like in that. I usually use it to store the function to be executed when the menu option is chosen (It's selected and may be the user pressed <ENTER>);

Example 24. Menu User Pointer Usage

#include <curses.h>
#include <menu.h>

#define ARRAY_SIZE(a) (sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]))
#define CTRLD 	4

char *choices[] = {
                        "Choice 1",
                        "Choice 2",
                        "Choice 3",
                        "Choice 4",
			"Choice 5",
			"Choice 6",
			"Choice 7",
                        "Exit",
                  };
void func(char *name);

int main()
{	ITEM **my_items;
	int c;				
	MENU *my_menu;
        int n_choices, i;
	ITEM *cur_item;
	
	/* Initialize curses */	
	initscr();
	start_color();
        cbreak();
        noecho();
	keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
	init_pair(1, COLOR_RED, COLOR_BLACK);
	init_pair(2, COLOR_GREEN, COLOR_BLACK);
	init_pair(3, COLOR_MAGENTA, COLOR_BLACK);

	/* Initialize items */
        n_choices = ARRAY_SIZE(choices);
        my_items = (ITEM **)calloc(n_choices + 1, sizeof(ITEM *));
        for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
	{       my_items[i] = new_item(choices[i], choices[i]);
		/* Set the user pointer */
		set_item_userptr(my_items[i], func);
	}
	my_items[n_choices] = (ITEM *)NULL;

	/* Create menu */
	my_menu = new_menu((ITEM **)my_items);

	/* Post the menu */
	mvprintw(LINES - 3, 0, "Press <ENTER> to see the option selected");
	mvprintw(LINES - 2, 0, "Up and Down arrow keys to naviage (F1 to Exit)");
	post_menu(my_menu);
	refresh();

	while((c = getch()) != KEY_F(1))
	{       switch(c)
	        {	case KEY_DOWN:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_DOWN_ITEM);
				break;
			case KEY_UP:
				menu_driver(my_menu, REQ_UP_ITEM);
				break;
			case 10: /* Enter */
			{	ITEM *cur;
				void (*p)(char *);

				cur = current_item(my_menu);
				p = item_userptr(cur);
				p((char *)item_name(cur));
				pos_menu_cursor(my_menu);
				break;
			}
			break;
		}
	}	
	unpost_menu(my_menu);
	for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i)
		free_item(my_items[i]);
	free_menu(my_menu);
	endwin();
}

void func(char *name)
{	move(20, 0);
	clrtoeol();
	mvprintw(20, 0, "Item selected is : %s", name);
}
