Shell(3)		   Library Functions Manual		      Shell(3)

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 encapsu-
       lates 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  pro-
       grammer	to specify data. The programmer	can also set the resource val-
       ues 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.	All Motif convenience create dialog  functions
		 override  this	 default  value	and set	XmNallowShellResize to
		 True.

       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 unreal-
		 ized and the number of	its managed children is	changed. It is
		 used to change	the values of the XmNx,	 XmNy,	XmNwidth,  and
		 XmNheight  resources.	When XtGetValues is called on this re-
		 source, the returned value is a pointer  to  the  actual  re-
		 source	 value	and should not be freed. In addition, this re-
		 source	is not copied on creation or by	XtSetValues.  The  ap-
		 plication must	ensure that the	string remains valid until the
		 shell is realized.

       XmNoverrideRedirect
		 If  True,  specifies  that the	widget instance	is a temporary
		 window	that should be ignored by the window manager. Applica-
		 tions 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.   The  second  argument  to
		 XtPopup must be XtGrabNone.

       XmNsaveUnder
		 If  True, specifies that 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, includ-
		 ing always or never.

       XmNvisual Specifies the visual used in creating the widget.

   Inherited Resources
       Shell inherits behavior and resources from the superclass described  in
       the  following table.  For a complete description of each resource, re-
       fer to the reference page for that superclass.
