ARGUMENTS
call_data Specifies the callback data, which is not

be constrained.
popup_shell
Specifies the widget shell.
w Specifies the widget.
DESCRIPTION
The XtPopup function performs the following:
⊕ Calls XtCheckSubclass to ensure popup_shell is a
subclass of Shell.
⊕ Generates an error if the shell's popped_up field
is already True.
⊕ Calls the callback procedures on the shell's
- 1 -
XtPopup(3Xt) XtPopup(3Xt)
popup_callback list.
⊕ Sets the shell popped_up field to True, the shell
spring_loaded field to False, and the shell
grab_kind field from grab_kind.
⊕ If the shell's create_popup_child field is non-
NULL, XtPopup calls it with popup_shell as the
parameter.
⊕ If grab_kind is either XtGrabNonexclusive or
XtGrabExclusive, it calls:
XtAddGrab(popup_shell, (grab_kind == XtGrabExclusive), False)
⊕ Calls XtRealizeWidget with popup_shell specified.
⊕ Calls XMapWindow with popup_shell specified.
The XtCallbackNone, XtCallbackNonexclusive, and
XtCallbackExclusive functions call XtPopup with the
shell specified by the client data argument and
grab_kind set as the name specifies. XtCallbackNone,
XtCallbackNonexclusive, and XtCallbackExclusive specify
XtGrabNone, XtGrabNonexclusive, and XtGrabExclusive,
respectively. Each function then sets the widget that
executed the callback list to be insensitive by using
XtSetSensitive. Using these functions in callbacks is
not required. In particular, an application must
provide customized code for callbacks that create pop-
up shells dynamically or that must do more than
desensitizing the button.
MenuPopup is known to the translation manager, which
must perform special actions for spring-loaded pop-ups.
Calls to MenuPopup in a translation specification are
mapped into calls to a nonexported action procedure,
and the translation manager fills in parameters based
on the event specified on the left-hand side of a
translation.
If MenuPopup is invoked on ButtonPress (possibly with
modifiers), the translation manager pops up the shell
with grab_kind set to XtGrabExclusive and spring_loaded
set to True. If MenuPopup is invoked on EnterWindow
(possibly with modifiers), the translation manager pops
up the shell with grab_kind set to XtGrabNonexclusive
and spring_loaded set to False. Otherwise, the
translation manager generates an error. When the
widget is popped up, the following actions occur:
⊕ Calls XtCheckSubclass to ensure popup_shell is a
- 2 -
XtPopup(3Xt) XtPopup(3Xt)
subclass of Shell.
⊕ Generates an error if the shell's popped_up field
is already True.
⊕ Calls the callback procedures on the shell's
popup_callback list.
⊕ Sets the shell popped_up field to True and the
shell grab_kind and spring_loaded fields
appropriately.
⊕ If the shell's create_popup_child field is non-
NULL, it is called with popup_shell as the
parameter.
⊕ Calls:
XtAddGrab(popup_shell, (grab_kind == XtGrabExclusive), spring_loaded)
⊕ Calls XtRealizeWidget with popup_shell specified.
⊕ Calls XMapWindow with popup_shell specified.
(Note that these actions are the same as those for
XtPopup.) MenuPopup tries to find the shell by
searching the widget tree starting at the parent of the
widget in which it is invoked. If it finds a shell
with the specified name in the pop-up children of that
parent, it pops up the shell with the appropriate
parameters. Otherwise, it moves up the parent chain as
needed. If MenuPopup gets to the application widget
and cannot find a matching shell, it generates an
error.
