XtCreatePopupShell(3)            XT FUNCTIONS            XtCreatePopupShell(3)

NAME
       XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell - create a popup shell

SYNTAX
       #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

       Widget XtCreatePopupShell(const char *name, WidgetClass widget_class,
              Widget parent, ArgList args, Cardinal num_args);

       Widget XtVaCreatePopupShell(const char *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.
