XtVaAppCreateShell()													      XtVaAppCreateShell()

Name
  XtVaAppCreateShell - create a top-level widget that is the root of a widget tree, using varargs argument style.

Synopsis
  Widget XtVaAppCreateShell(application_name, application_class, widget_class, display, ..., NULL)
	 String application_name;
	 String application_class;
	 WidgetClass widget_class;
	 Display *display;

Inputs
  application_name
	    Specifies the resource name of the shell widget.

  application_class
	    Specifies the class name of this application.

  widget_class
	    Specifies the widget class for the top-level widget.

  display   Specifies the display.

  ..., NULL A NULL-terminated variable-length list of resource name/value pairs to override any other resource specifications.

Returns
  A toplevel shell widget of the specified class.

Availability
  Release 4 and later.

Description
  XtVaAppCreateShell()	creates  a top-level shell widget that is the root of a widget tree and a resource name hierarchy (i.e. a widget that
  has no parent).  It is identical to XtAppCreateShell() except that the args array of resource names and values and the num_args argument of
  that function are replaced with a NULL-terminated variable-length argument list.

  See  XtAppCreateShell()  for more information on this function.  See XtVaSetValues() for more information on using variable-length argument
  lists to specify resources.

Usage
  Most applications create secondary top-level shells with XtCreatePopupShell() which creates a widget in the same resource hierarchy as  the
  rest	of  the  application.	Most applications can use XtAppInitialize() or XtVaAppInitialize() to initialize the toolkit and create their
  first shell.
