NAME
Shell - The Shell widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
#include <X11/Shell.h>
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
DESCRIPTION
Shell is a top-level widget (with only one managed child)
that encapsulates the interaction with the window manager.
At the time the shell's child is managed, the child's width
is used for both widgets if the shell is unrealized and no
width has been specified for the shell. Otherwise, the
shell's 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.
