XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt)       SDK X11 R4.11MU05      XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt)


NAME
       XtCreatePopupShell - create a popup shell

SYNTAX
       Widget XtCreatePopupShell(name, widgetclass, parent, args, numargs)
             String name;
             WidgetClass widgetclass;
             Widget parent;
             ArgList args;
             Cardinal numargs;

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

       name      Specifies the text name for the created shell widget.

       numargs  Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

       parent    Specifies the parent widget.

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

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.
