XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt) 					     MIT X11R4						   XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt)

Name
       XtCreatePopupShell - create a popup shell

Syntax
       Widget XtCreatePopupShell(name, widget_class, parent, args, num_args)
	  String name;
	  WidgetClass widget_class;
	  Widget parent;
	  ArgList args;
	  Cardinal num_args;

Arguments
       args	 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.

Description
       The function ensures that the specified class is a subclass of 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.
