XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt) XT FUNCTIONS XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt)NAMEXtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell - create a popup shellSYNTAXWidget XtCreatePopupShell(name, widget_class, parent, args, num_args) String name; WidgetClass widget_class; Widget parent; ArgList args; Cardinal num_args; Widget XtVaCreatePopupShell(name, widget_class, parent, ...) String name; WidgetClass widget_class; Widget parent;ARGUMENTSargs Specifies the argument list to override the resource defaults. 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 widget. ... Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults.DESCRIPTIONThe 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 parent'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 delayed creation of the shell is particularly useful when you pop up an unspecified number of pop-ups. You can look to see if an appropri- ate unused shell (that is, not currently popped up) exists and create a new shell if needed.SEE ALSOXtCreateWidget(3Xt), XtPopdown(3Xt), XtPopup(3Xt) X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language Interface Xlib - C Language X Interface X Version 11 Release 6.6 XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt)
