Description
XtCreateApplicationShell() creates and returns a shell widget of class widget_class. The created widget has no parent-it is at the root of
a widget tree and at the top of the resource name hierarchy.
XtCreateApplicationShell() creates the widget by calling XtAppCreateShell() passing a NULL application_name, the application_class that was
passed to XtInitialize(), the display that was opened by XtInitialize() and the widget_class, args, and num_args arguments.
Usage
XtCreateApplicationShell() has been superseded by XtAppCreateShell(), which is substantially more flexible. You can continue to use XtCre-
ateApplicationShell() only if you initialize your application with XtInitialize(). We recommend that you use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppCre-
ateShell(), and the other XtApp*() application context specific functions.
See XtAppCreateShell() for more information.
