                String shell_name;

     ARGUMENTS
          call_data Specifies the callback data, which is not
                    used by this procedure.

          client_data
                    Specifies the pop-up shell.

          grab_kind Specifies the way in which user events should
                    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

               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 -

               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.
