XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt) XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt) NAME XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell - create a popup shell SYNOPSIS Widget XtCreatePopupShell(name, widget_class, parent, args, num_args) String name; WidgetClass widget_class; Widget parent; ArgList args; Cardinal num_args; Widget XtVaCreatePopupShell(name, widget_class, parent, ...) String name; WidgetClass widget_class; Widget parent; ARGUMENTS Specifies the argument list to override the resource defaults. Speci- fies the text name for the created shell widget. Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list. Specifies the parent widget. Spec- ifies the widget class pointer for the created shell widget. Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults. 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 par- ent'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 de- layed 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.
