XtCreatePopupShell(3)		 XT FUNCTIONS		 XtCreatePopupShell(3)

NAME
       XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell	- create a popup shell

SYNTAX
       #include	<X11/Intrinsic.h>

       Widget  XtCreatePopupShell(const	 char *name, WidgetClass widget_class,
	      Widget parent, ArgList args, Cardinal num_args);

       Widget XtVaCreatePopupShell(const char *name, WidgetClass widget_class,
	      Widget parent, ...);

ARGUMENTS
       args	 Specifies the argument	list  to  override  the	 resource  de-
		 faults.

       name	 Specifies the text name for the created shell widget.

       num_args	 Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

       parent	 Specifies the parent widget.

       widget_class
		 Specifies the widget class pointer for	the created shell wid-
		 get.

       ...	 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.
