XT FUNCTIONS                              XtCreatePopupShell(3xt)



NAME

     shell

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lXt [ library... ]

     Widget XtCreatePopupShell(String name, WidgetClass
          widget_class, Widget parent, ArgList args, Cardinal
          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 wid-
               get.

     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.
