NAME
Shell - The Shell widget class.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
#include <X11/Shell.h>
DESCRIPTION
Shell is a top-level widget (with only one managed child) that
encapsulates the interaction with the window manager.
When the width of both the shell and its child are specified, the larger
of the shell's width and the child's width is used for both widgets.
When either the shell's width or the child's width, but not the other, is
specified, the specified width is used for both widgets. The same
relations hold for the height of the shell and its child.
Classes
Shell inherits behavior and resources from Composite and Core.
The class pointer is shellWidgetClass.
The class name is Shell.
New Resources
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the
programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource
values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To
reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the
XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the
defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix
and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but
include any underscores between words). The codes in the access column
indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by
using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not
applicable (N/A).

XmNallowShellResize
Specifies that if this resource is False, the Shell widget instance
returns XtGeometryNo to all geometry requests from its children.
XmNcreatePopupChildProc
Specifies the pointer to a function that is called when the Shell
widget instance is popped up by XtPopup. The function creates the
child widget when the shell is popped up instead of when the
application starts up. This can be used if the child needs to be
reconfigured each time the shell is popped up. The function takes
one argument, the popup shell, and returns no result. It is called
after the popup callbacks specified by XmNpopupCallback.
XmNgeometry
Specifies the desired geometry for the widget instance. This
resource is examined only when the widget instance is unrealized
and the number of its managed children is changed. It is to change
the values of the XmNx, XmNy, XmNwidth, and XmNheight resources.
XmNoverrideRedirect
Specifies this is True if the widget instance is a temporary window
which should be ignored by the window manager. Applications and
users should not normally alter this resource.
XmNpopdownCallback
Specifies a list of callbacks that is called when the widget
instance is popped down by XtPopdown.
XmNpopupCallback
Specifies a list of callbacks that is called when the widget
instance is popped up by XtPopup.
XmNsaveUnder
Specifies a True value if it is desirable to save the contents of
the screen beneath this widget instance, avoiding expose events
when the instance is unmapped. This is a hint, and an
implementation may save contents whenever it desires, including
always or never.

XmNvisual
Specifies the visual used in creating the widget.
Inherited Resources
Shell inherits behavior and resources from the following superclass. For
a complete description of each resource, refer to the man page for that
superclass.
