XtAppCreateShell(3Xt)                       XtAppCreateShell(3Xt)



NAME
     XtAppCreateShell - creates a top-level widget instance

SYNOPSIS
     Widget XtAppCreateShell(application-name, application-class,
     widget-class, display, args, num-args)
     String application-name;
     String application-class;
     WidgetClass widget-class;
     Display *display;
     ArgList args;
     Cardinal num-args;

DESCRIPTION
     The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified applica-
     tion name and application class for qualifying all widget
     resource specifiers.  The application name and application
     class are used as the left-most components in all widget
     resource names for this application.  XtAppCreateShell
     should be used to create a new logical application within a
     program or to create a shell on another display.  In the
     first case, it allows the specification of a new root in the
     resource hierarchy.  In the second case, it uses the
     resource database associated with the other display.

     Note that the widget returned by XtAppCreateShell has the
     WM_COMMAND property set for session managers (see Chapter 4
     in X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface).

   Arguments
     This function accepts the following arguments:

     application-class
             Specifies the class name of this application.

     application-name

     args    Specifies the argument list in which to set in the

     display Specifies the display from which to get the

     num-args
             Specifies the number of arguments in the argument
             list.

     widget-class
             Specifies the widget class that the application
             top-level widget should be.
