XtCreatePopupShell(3)                           XT FUNCTIONS                           XtCreatePopupShell(3)



NAME
       XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell - create a popup shell

SYNTAX
       Widget XtCreatePopupShell(String name, WidgetClass widget_class, Widget parent, ArgList args, Cardi-nal Cardinal
              nal num_args);

       Widget XtVaCreatePopupShell(String name, WidgetClass widget_class, Widget parent, ...);

ARGUMENTS
       args      Specifies the argument list to override the resource defaults.

       name      Specifies the text name for the created shell widget.

       num_args  Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

       parent    Specifies the parent widget.

       widget_class
                 Specifies the widget class pointer for the created shell widget.

       ...       Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtCreatePopupShell function ensures that the specified class is a subclass of Shell and, rather
       than using insert_child to attach the widget to the parent's children list, attaches the shell to the
       parent's pop-ups list directly.

       A spring-loaded pop-up invoked from a translation table already must exist at the time that the
       translation is invoked, so the translation manager can find the shell by name.  Pop-ups invoked in
       other ways can be created ``on-the-fly'' when the pop-up actually is needed.  This delayed creation
       of the shell is particularly useful when you pop up an unspecified number of pop-ups.  You can look
       to see if an appropriate unused shell (that is, not currently popped up) exists and create a new
       shell if needed.
