NAME
       XtPopup,	 XtPopupSpringLoaded,  XtCallbackNone, XtCallbackNonexclusive,
       XtCallbackExclusive - map a pop-up

SYNTAX
       #include	<X11/Intrinsic.h>

       void XtPopup(Widget popup_shell,	XtGrabKind grab_kind);

       void XtPopupSpringLoaded(Widget popup_shell);

       void  XtCallbackNone(Widget   w,	  XtPointer   client_data,   XtPointer
	      call_data);

       void  XtCallbackNonexclusive(Widget w, XtPointer	client_data, XtPointer
	      call_data);

       void XtCallbackExclusive(Widget	w,  XtPointer  client_data,  XtPointer
	      call_data);

ACTIONS

       void XtMenuPopup(String shell_name);

ARGUMENTS
       call_data Specifies the callback	data, which is not used	by this	proce-
		 dure.

       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 XtPopupSpringLoaded function	performs  exactly  as  XtPopup	except
       that  it	 sets  the  shell spring_loaded	field to True and always calls
       XtAddGrab with exclusive	True and spring_loaded True.

       The  XtCallbackNone,  XtCallbackNonexclusive,  and  XtCallbackExclusive
       functions  call XtPopup with the	shell specified	by the client data ar-
       gument 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 re-
       quired.	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.

       XtMenuPopup  is	known  to  the translation manager, which must perform
       special actions for spring-loaded pop-ups.  Calls to XtMenuPopup	 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 XtMenuPopup is invoked on ButtonPress	(possibly with modifiers), the
       translation  manager  pops up the shell with grab_kind set to XtGrabEx-
       clusive and spring_loaded set to	True.  If XtMenuPopup  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  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.)
       XtMenuPopup tries to find the shell by searching	the widget tree	start-
       ing  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 XtMenuPopup gets to the  application
       widget and cannot find a	matching shell,	it generates an	error.
